What's to expect from your Autonomic Nervous System Course
This Uncertified Specialty Course provides you with a wonderful opportunity to learn the knowledge and skills for working effectively with healing sounds, to positively correct any imbalances in your client's autonomic nervous system (ANS) functioning.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the body’s primary control center for regulating involuntary functions. It has two main divisions: the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system (which includes the vagus nerve). Together, these form a superordinate control system that helps maintain balance within the body.
It controls and regulates a wide range of vital functions and subordinate processes, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, digestion, immune responses, endocrine activity, and energy balance.
Therefore, by working appropriately to correct the functioning of the ANS, we can help our clients to heal a wide range of physical, emotional, and mental health challenges.
You will need to have the sound healing instruments that are used in the videos tutorials to practice the techniques, which can be purchased from our Sound Therapy Shop.
The following instruments are recommended for following this course and applying the techniques:
- Weighted 128Hz Tuning Fork

- 2 Tibetan Singing Bowls, tuned to a perfect fifth musical interval, for example notes C & G or D & A (or with another harmonious interval)
