What is Sound Therapy?

Have you ever been so affected by a song that it brought you to tears? Do you feel relaxed at the ocean hearing the crashing waves? Have you the felt unsteady from the rumble of a passing train travel up through your feet and even up your spine? Then you realize how powerful sound can be on a human physically, mentally and emotionally!

The principle of Sound Healing asserts that through the application of targeted sound, vibration and frequency, energies in the human body can be helped to align to their natural rhythm. Because our bodies are composed of nearly 70% water, we are the perfect conduit for sound frequencies to travel, react and communicate. Matter, including the human body, vibrates always, and at various frequencies. It is no exception that when various frequencies of sound are introduced to a human, harmony and homeostasis ensues. 

A Sound Healing session can use specific instruments, music, tones, and other vibrations both on and off the body have several therapeutic benefits, including:

• Deep relaxation: The soothing tones and vibrations can induce a state of deep relaxation, helping to reduce stress, anxiety, and tension.

• Balancing energy centers: The sound waves are believed to resonate with the body's energy centers (chakras), helping to balance and harmonize their flow of energy.

• Meditation and mindfulness: The serene sounds of the crystal bowls can support meditation practices by providing a focal point for concentration and facilitating a state of mindfulness.

• Clearing and cleansing: The vibrational frequencies of the bowls are thought to clear stagnant or negative energy, promoting a sense of renewal and rejuvenation.

• Pain relief and healing: The vibrations of the crystal bowls may help alleviate physical discomfort and promote the body's natural healing processes.
