Vibro-Acoustic Harp Therapy
(VAHT)
Music played on the harp is amplified and while the client is lying on the vibrotactile mat or armchair, he or she can feel the vibrations. The focus is mostly on areas of stress or pain. The music selection can be adjusted or improvised during a session in order to find the most appropriate effect for the client. VAHT vibrates and resonates with all tissues of the body and in this manner affects the client on the physiological level but also on the emotional, mental and spiritual levels. VAHT can be likened to a sound or musical massage. VAHT can help with:
