Stimulating the ear recharges the brain with energy and helps fight everyday stress
Regular physical activity is important for managing stress and anxiety
Just as exercise naturally releases certain chemicals, such as endorphins and neurotransmitters, regularly stimulating the brain with music helps release dopamine and serotonin, which bring pleasant feelings and help increase positive emotions.
Stress, emotional shock and social pressure
When stress is repeated, or after an emotional shock, the brain triggers a protective mechanism and shuts down, which reduces its ability to recharge with energy through the auditory channel. This also happens gradually when the outside environment is hostile: for example, when the rhythm of life is reorganised, when responsibilities at work increase, when familiar landmarks are lost, or under social pressure.
A little-known phenomenon: the ear's cortical recharge function
Sounds rich in harmonics stimulate a vast nerve network called the “reticular formation”, whose role is to control the brain's overall level of activity. So, as well as being a sense organ, the ear energises the brain and the body. It therefore needs regular stimulation to carry out this function, which is essential to our personal fulfilment.
Tomatis® music is enriched with high harmonics, to restore all the energising qualities of the sounds that reach your ear.
The Tomatis® method acts both on cortical recharge and on the release of neurotransmitters, which has a positive effect on regulating anxiety and stress. The effects last, for several months after the treatment.
Taking stock
A listening assessment (audio-psycho-phonological assessment) is carried out for everyone who wants to manage stress better and reduce their anxiety. This assessment allows me to determine precisely the degree of sensory shutdown and to adapt the treatment, which makes it even more effective. For a lasting improvement in symptoms, I recommend two or three 13-day listening sessions spread over 3 months.
