Clinical studies: nature, music and laughter heal

11/7/2016

 
The healing properties of nature, music and laughter are well noted by the scientific and holistic communities, said Dr. Steve Koc, creator of Gnomies World. 
 
A Japanese study found that those who practiced shinrin-yoku (walking and staying in forests) experienced greater stress reduction. Dr. Masura Emoto, author of Messages from Water, gained worldwide acclaim for his research in vibrational sound, and Dr. Mitchell Gaynor documents his findings in The Healing Power of Sound. The acclaimed Norman Cousins researched the healing power of laugher in his book The Anatomy of an Illness, to name a few.
 
Koc became so intrigued by the idea of using these three elements—nature, music and laughter—for stress relief, he created Gnomies World, an award-winning animated children's movie designed to help kids relax.
 
The film follows the adventures of the Gnomies, a merry band of characters who live deep in the woods, go on peaceful adventures in nature, and bring laughter to all.
 
“On the one hand, Gnomies World is light and frivolous,” said Koc. “Yet there is an underlying science in the making of this movie that is designed for deep healing. As one gets immersed into the world of the Gnomies, the brain and body are affected in uplifting and healing ways.”
 
“In my four decades of clinical practice, I’ve always sought out natural ways to assist the healing process. I've found very good results using breathing exercises, along with visual images that create a state of inner peace, and sound healing,” Koc said.
 
“Gnomies World uses all of these modalities in addition to the laughter response, to create a state of relaxation in the body.” Koc said.

New Gnomies world DVD: peace, nature and fun!

11/5/2016

 
Who are the Gnomies of Gnomies World, the new movie out from Beyond Words (The Secret)?

There are three things to know about the Gnomies,” says Koc, who filmed on location in the forests of Oregon.
 
“First, Gnomies love nature: the physical world of plants and animals. Today’s children are missing a connection to the earth; they need the stress relief and healing the natural world brings,” says Koc. “In Gnomies World, kids get up close with actual nature: trees, lichen, roots, rocks, birds, llamas, sky and sunshine … it’s all filmed outdoors.”
 
“Second, Gnomies love peace,” Koc continues. “There is zero violence in the film. The Gnomies live a G-rated life. They cherish kindness. The film is designed to reduce stress and provide peaceful, uplifting entertainment that a child could enjoy on his own, or with parents and grandparents.
 
“Finally, Gnomies love fun,” he concludes. “Laughter is always the best medicine, and for anyone who wants to add humor to their life, the Gnomies are here to help!”

Koc created the film to be suitable for children—and anyone who wants to relax, laugh and heal. “I’ve worked with patients in my healing clinic for over 40 years. The importance of laughter, rest, and relaxation for well being have been well-documented and can’t be overstated.”
