#15: In this episode of The Science of Sound, Aaron Fournier sits down with holistic health practitioner Laina Goley (FDN-P, HHC) to unpack her extraordinary story of healing and resilience. After surviving a devastating plane crash that left her with broken bones from head to toe, Laina was told she might never walk again, have children, or regain full function. But through the power of prayer, the spoken word, somatic healing, and her deep understanding of the body’s innate intelligence, she not only recovered—she transformed. Together, they explore how thoughts and frequencies influence physical healing, why grounding and somatic practices are essential, and how trauma is stored in the body on a cellular level. Laina’s testimony is a powerful reminder that you are not your diagnosis. Health is your birthright, and the body is far more capable of healing than we’ve been led to believe. Whether you're seeking encouragement, holistic tools, or scientific insight into the body-mind connection, this conversation will leave you inspired and empowered. 00:00 Introduction 02:15 Meet Laina and Her Credentials 04:30 The Night of the Plane Crash 06:45 Miraculous Survival and Rescue 09:00 Hospital Recovery and Divine Intervention 11:15 Speaking Life Over the Body 13:30 Power of Words and Identity 15:45 Learning to Walk Again 18:00 The Body Remembers 20:15 Scientific Studies on Positive Thought 22:30 Frequencies, Prayer, and Performance 24:45 Nature, Grounding, and Cellular Vibrations 27:00 The Nervous System and Chronic Stress 29:15 Hidden Stressors and Holistic Healing 31:30 Aligning with God’s Frequency 33:45 Somatic Healing and Emotional Release 36:00 Free Tools for Inner Pharmacy 37:15 How to Connect with Laina Symphonies of Growth: Unveiling the Impact of Sound Waves on Plant Physiology and Productivity - https://www.mdpi.com/2079-7737/13/5/326   The effect of positive thinking on resilience and life satisfaction of older adults - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-30684-y Connect with Laina: TikTok: @lainaG3 Telehealth via Soaak Clinics: (918) 551-6600 Follow Soaak & The Science of Sound Podcast: Website – Soaak Technologies App – Soaak Frequency Therapy Instagram – @thesoaakpodcast Sponsors: Visit soaak.com/app and enter code Soaakpod for your first month free!
