According to this months mixmag, Martyn's music is being used to calm delinquent kids in secure units.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Sounds interesting.
Plus working on secure mental health units myself, I'm quite keen on the idea of suggesting to my local NHS Trust that they let me run a 'calming dubstep radio show' for the patients

Yeah it was probably referring to that article. It wasn't a full section, but was just in the 'guestlist vs blacklist' section...obviously being in the guestlist.
All good stuff anyway. Sounds similar to when I used to run Dj sessions for the mentally ill patients on my ward. The trust had a set of decks lying around not getting used so I set up weekly groups and they loved it; split up the tedium of the day for them.

I 100% Believe that Sound vibration can manipulate our inner consciousness!!!.....
GOOD VIBRATIONS
Introduction to Vibrations
In the 1960's the word "vibrations" came into vogue. Young people, influenced by the mystical traditions of the East, experimented with ways to raise their consciousness. They used the term to describe some ephemeral quality of people or places. Although not defined in any formal way, it gradually worked its way into the popular culture, showing up in songs and phrases. The implication was that one simply had to "tune in" to appreciate this alternate experience of reality.
We use the term vibrations now as well, and it hasn't changed much in terms of its meaning. It still conjures up images of invisible rays of energy flying through the air and influencing people in various ways. For instance, we know what happens when we get "vibed" by someone. It means to encounter anger, a cold shoulder, an inhospitable response. But it also suggests more than just the outer expressions of emotion, as evidenced only by gestures or words.
When somebody says that another's words went through them like a knife, they are not far off. A word that carries a powerful emotional wallop, full of anger or resentment, can slice through the subtle field, and jab us in a way that is literally painful. It is not the words alone which are transmitted. I can say them in a sweet voice and you won't experience a negative reaction. Rather, it is the projection behind the words which makes the difference.
There are also positive vibrations. For instance, we like to be around friendly people because they radiate a certain warmth; charming people have an allure or magnetism which is part of their personal projection; and being around loving and nurturing vibrations can be quite soothing or healing. In short, people transmit many qualities of vibrations, some more beneficial than others.
The fact is that no one can show you a vibration. We are dealing with something that is at once subtle, yet its influence is pervasive. It is something that we all experience, but for most people, it is just beyond the realm of their conscious mind.
On the other hand, for others it is a very real and tangible experience, and their sensitivity can be a curse if it is not properly understood. If this text has one purpose, it is to raise the awareness; both from the point of view of those who are sensitive and need some explanation about how to deal with the subtle energies around them; and also for those who want to comprehend human reactions and interactions from a unique perspective.
The aim is also to get the reader thinking about where they go, and what influences places and people have on their system. Some settings will enhance them, others will pull them down; and it becomes a science to know where to place oneself for maximum benefit. This is the science of vibrations, which is the basic subject matter of this text.
