Human beings have a vibrational frequency, and so does everything else. Given this, it is not surprising that sound frequencies affect our feelings. That is the reason specific songs and music triggers different kinds of emotions in us. Sound healing is an old healing method that utilizes tonal frequencies. It promotes vibrational harmony and balance in the body.

How does sound healing work?

A sound healing session is also referred to as a sound bath. During this session, you lie on a yoga mat or the floor. You can cuddle up and cover yourself with a warm blanket. Alternatively, you can listen to a practitioner playing various instruments, and you ‘bask’ in the calming sounds and vibrations. The sound frequencies slow the brain waves down to an intensely restorative state. This state triggers the body’s self-healing system.

Practitioners mainly use the following instruments in sessions:

• Tibetan bowls
• Gongs
• Singing bowls
• Tuning forks
• Drums

However, experts say a practitioner can use any instrument for sound healing. What matters is having the right intention. Each instrument has a different purpose. For example, crystal bowls notes are tuned to seven chakras.

The gong helps in relieving tension inside the body. It also stimulates the nervous and glandular systems. Sound healing has become more famous in recent years. However, this healing method has existed for years. All cultures on earth use instruments like shamanic drums, Tibetan singing bowls, and vocational chanting.

Benefits of sound healing

1. It promotes maximum relaxation

Sound therapy’s most important benefit is great relaxation. The sounds enter our system and restore its harmony. Therefore if you do not gain anything else from a sound healing session, the relaxation you experience is worth it. We have busy schedules, and life has many challenges. So all of us could benefit from some peace!

2. It helps in clearing energetic blockages

During sound therapy, some individuals experience deep healing. It occurs when the sound vibrations open and is transparent. The palpitations then stabilize their chakras and let go of stuck energy. This energy is described as a solid deep tissue massage that replenishes you and makes you feel balanced.

When healing occurs, you might also experience physical sensations such as tingling in your hands. You might also feel cold or hot—breath into these feelings without labeling or attaching to them. Instead, concentrate on your breath as you let them pass.

3. It enhances your health

Research shows that sound healing is beneficial to patients. Benefits include enhanced sleep, a decrease in chronic pain and blood pressure. Also, cholesterol reduces, and the risk of heart ailment decreases.

Note: For expert help with these illnesses, please consult a certified medical practitioner.

4. It supports emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being

Sound therapy heals both emotionally and mentally. It helps in reducing depression, anxiety and stress. This treatment clears the mind and balances it. Additionally, it renews your sense of purpose, calm, happiness, and health.

A sound healing session

Similar to most alternative healing methods and meditative practices, each person’s experience is different. Most individuals feel very peaceful and relaxed during a sound healing. Some may have visualizations. They receive a creative download or get an emotional breakthrough. Also, new things might arise in every session.

Conclusion

Our spirit, mind, and body move in a direction toward balance. However, we often have excessive outer noise and stimulus and insufficient time to commit to ourselves. It can stop us from attaining an improved sense of harmony.

Sound helps us to attain this inner peace that we all wish for. A sound therapy treatment provides a participatory or passive experience. The passive element is that you relax more when you lie down and slow your breath. When you do this, you prepare yourself to receive sound.
