While certain noises are comforting, such as ocean waves or wind chimes, others are shocking! such as a traffic gridlock or your next-door neighbor’s new violin passion But can noises help you heal? Here’s all you need to know about the current craze, ‘Sound Healing.’
Although it is called new-age wellness, sound healing is not a novel method of therapy. The ancient Greeks employed music to treat mental illnesses, and sound has been used throughout history to help people work faster, persuade, and increase morale. Many people think that music has the ability to cure the body. This is because people have an innate preference for sound treatment. Consider how a beloved music might improve your attitude.
Many practitioners, however, employ traditional healing instruments such as Tibetan healing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, shamanic drums, and so on for profound and deeper meditative and holistic healing.
What exactly does “Sound Healing” mean?
Sound healing is a centuries-old healing method or practise that has been utilised to clear energetic and physical blockages, balance energy levels, soothe the mind, and repair the body. Different therapeutic instruments, such as Tibetan bowls, elemental chimes, rain sticks, gongs, and so on, are used in a sound bath, where participants not only listen to the harmonious sounds but also experience the healing vibrations created by these instruments on a physical level. After a sound bath, one feels revitalised and thoroughly relaxed.
What are the advantages of using sound for therapeutic purposes?
Sound healing can help you clear energetic blockages and thus facilitate healing on a physical and mental level. Some of the benefits of sound therapy include:
- Improved sleep
- Reduce stress and mild body ailments
- Develop resilience to deal with stressors and triggers
- Attain theta brain wave state (deep meditative state of mind)
- Regulate the frequency of the body where it operates at optimal health
- Promote a sense of safety, grounding, feeling of love and compassion
