What is Sound Healing?
Sound Healing is a therapeutic process that ensures mind–body wellness. In this practice which has roots in ancient traditions, sound frequencies are used to bring about healing and wellbeing. From Tibetan singing bowls to Indian mantras to Gregorian Chants the use of this practice is global.
The use of sound healing tools which include gongs, crystal bowls, tuning forks and a human voice produce vibrations that play with your body’s energy and chakras restore balance and bring about relaxation.
How does Sound Healing Therapy for Health work?
In each cell of your body, there is a specific frequency. Emotional imbalances, stress and health issues may break away from these natural frequencies. Sound Healing is a practice that puts back these frequencies to their natural pace which in turn allows the body to heal itself.
This therapy is based on the idea that sound can put a vibrating system back into balance. When the body perceives the sound it responds to rhythmic stimuli which the bio systems sync up to. Some frequencies put the brain into a deep state of relaxation.
