What is Sound Healing?

 WHAT IS SOUND HEALING?

Sound healing is a practice that uses various sounds and vibrations to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It is based on the idea that everything in the universe, including our bodies, is made up of energy vibrating at different frequencies. When our energy is imbalanced or blocked, it can lead to physical or emotional ailments. Sound healing aims to restore harmony and balance by using different sound tools such as singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, drums, or even the voice to create therapeutic sounds and vibrations. These sounds can help relax the mind, reduce stress, release tension, and promote healing on a holistic level. Sound healing can be experienced through individual sessions, group sound baths, or self-practice using sound meditation techniques.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Almost everything we perceive in the cosmos is nothing more than our sense of waves.  We all know that everything in the Universe vibrates, and that everything that vibrates has a frequency. Everything, including humans, the electronic device you are reading this on, your hair, skin, and organs, has its unique frequency, also known as its natural resonance. 

The auditory cortex, the area of the brain responsible for processing sound, receives electrical signals that are transformed into sound waves when they reach our ears. However, we also absorb frequency from the environment through our skin in addition to our ears. Once the signal reaches our brain, it causes a variety of bodily reactions. 

Stress, the surrounding environment, internal dialogue, and what you consume can all have an impact on the signal as well as produce its own vibratory signal. Our hormones and emotions can be manipulated by this process. Using frequencies to manipulate your body's vibration can restore it to a healthy state. Certain noises and music have been shown in neurological research to increase productivity and creativity, reduce stress, and enhance mental and emotional health. This is mostly because when a qualified sound healer or sound practitioner has facilitated, dopamine floods our brains. Oxytocin, a hormone that promotes social bonding and is a natural analgesic, is also released during these sessions. 

Vibratory instruments are used by Sound Healing Practitioners and Therapists to generate the relaxation response.  When we help someone achieve a state of deep relaxation, a cascade of biochemical, biological, and physiological impacts occur. The biochemical and physiological repercussions that happen. The biochemical and physiological repercussions that happen.

 There has been research on the effects of crystal singing bowls, Himalayan bowls, drums, and gongs, and the findings demonstrate that they emit a wide spectrum of frequencies that you not only hear but also experience physiologically. Because human bodies are 70% water, they are excellent sound conductors; therefore, whether you have a sound healing session or a sound bath, the frequencies have the capacity to repair imbalances of dense trapped energy deep down at a cellular level.

These highly vibrating instruments aid in relaxation and consciousness boosting. When your brainwaves are out of sync, you will experience mental, emotional, and physical health issues. Anxiety disorders, sleep difficulties, hypervigilance, irritability, sadness, and migraines are all linked to over or under arousal of the brain. 

These highly vibratory instruments are used by a trained sound healing facilitator to change the brainwave states from Beta waves, which control your waking state and consume a lot of your energy, into Alpha waves, a nice resting state, to Theta waves, where you go deeper into relaxation and meditation and may access and process subconscious memories or worries, to the low frequency of Delta waves, where profound healing can occur.
