LifeSonics – 25 Years of Research in Therapeutic Sound, Now in Your Mind, Body, Soul and Ears!
For 30 years, Lyz Cooper has been working in the field of therapeutic sound and music medicine—developing evidence-informed methods that support relaxation, focus, and overall wellbeing.
LifeSonics brings this research directly to you through a library of beautifully produced ambient soundscapes designed to be more than music: they’re tools for health and creative living.
Shaped by Decades of Therapeutic Sound Research
LifeSonics is built on findings from BAST’s long-term exploration of how tone, tempo, frequency, and harmonic texture influence the human nervous system.
Every track is intentionally structured to improve health and wellbeing in different ways:
- encourage slower breathing and heart-rate coherence,
- reduce stress responses in the body,
- foster a sense of spaciousness and calm,
- energise, inspire and expand consciousness.
Rather than algorithm-driven playlists, these are crafted sound environments backed by clinical insight and over two decades of practice in the field of music medicine.
Guiding the Listener into Gentle Altered States
Many sound therapy practitioners value the role of altered states of consciousness (ASC) for insight, emotional release, and restorative rest.
LifeSonics soundscapes often feature:
- slowly evolving harmonic patterns that invite the brain to shift from beta-wave activity toward the calmer alpha and theta ranges,
- low-frequency, sustained tones that help soften the “thinking mind” and create a liminal, dream-adjacent state conducive to creativity and reflection.
These subtle cues can support the inner journey while remaining safe and non-directive.
Informed by Music Psychology and Neuroscience
Contemporary research in music psychology and neuroscience shows that certain soundscapes:
- can help down-regulate the stress response,
- support vagal-nerve activation linked to improved mood and emotional balance,
- free cognitive bandwidth for memory processing and creative thought,
- release physical, emotional and mental tension,
LifeSonics translates this science into practical listening experiences that fit seamlessly into everyday life.
A Valuable Tool for the Sound-Therapy Community
Practitioners use LifeSonics to:
- enhance client sessions as a supportive sonic backdrop,
- create a restorative atmosphere for yoga, breathwork, or meditation,
- accompany their own reflective journaling, note-writing, or creative work,
- establish a consistent sound environment that is more than just music - it is sonic architecture that enhances and shapes our experience.
Quality You Can Hear
All tracks are recorded and streamed in high-resolution audio to preserve the warmth, overtones, and subtle spatial depth that give the music its therapeutic character. Lyz recommends listening with over ear headphones for complete immersion and conduction through the occipital region.
