Healing with sound has been used to soothe the mind & emotions, it is one of the oldest and most natural forms of healing known to man. The harmonious sounds have a healing effect on the body at a cellular level. To be whole is the very meaning of healing.
Sound can bring balance, relaxation, & a sense of wholeness to the body. The sound of harmonic vibrations created by singing bowls, gongs, and other overtone-emitting instruments are intended to stimulate the alpha & theta brain waves. These waves are associated with deep meditative & peaceful states that are conducive to healing. Sound can also slow down the heart & respiratory rate, creating therapeutic effects on the mind & the body.
