Sound healing is based on the principle that everything in the universe, including the human body, vibrates at a certain frequency.
When the body is out of balance, it can be brought back into harmony by using sound frequencies. These frequencies should resonate with the body’s natural vibrations.
One of the most common tools used in sound healing is the singing bowl.
Singing bowls are made of various metals or crystals. They are played by striking or rubbing the rim of the bowl with a mallet. The sound produced by the bowl is a rich, deep, and soothing tone. It can help calm the mind, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.
Most of us can feel the stress in areas of our bodies. Sound healing works to clear that stagnant energy out of our nervous system. Sound bowls, chimes, and shamanic drumming can be useful tools.
Besides promoting relaxation and reducing stress, sound healing has been shown to have other health benefits:
- Studies have found that it can help to improve sleep quality.
- It also reduces chronic pain and lower blood pressure.
- It has proven its credentials in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. Therefore, it is considered a tool for mental health and well-being.
