Sounds are made up of vibration and interestingly vibration is one of the first sensations that a developing baby experiences inside the womb of a mother. See, sound affects us before we are introduced to this world and all the way of our life. Simply, sounds are vibrations of air or other medium that our ear detects. When an object moves or vibrates it creates waves in the air. Our ear catches these waves, and our brain interprets them as a sound. The waves of sound have a big effect on the brain. Brainwave patterns often change to match parts of the vibrations, like the pitch or the order of the tones. This means that sounds can actually change how we feel. That’s why in movies, when there’s a sad sound in the background during emotional scenes, it makes us feel even sadder. And when we hear someone laughing next to us, we tend to laugh even louder.   

Our body contains 70% water and sounds are considered to travel 4 times faster through the water than the air. Apparently, sound becomes the first choice for natural therapy. Scientists have found that our universe is shaped by patterns of frequency. Therefore, using the right frequencies in the right combination is said to be an effective form of treatment for a number of disorders like stress, insomnia, attention deficit disorder, immune system issues, emotional disorder, etc.

According to the INSTITUTE OF STRESS, “90% of physician visits are stress related”. Moreover, when we experience stress, illness, injury or any emotional trauma our body loses life force energy. Our immune system weakens making us more likely to get sick. We lose our ability to heal ourselves naturally. Here comes sound healing, in which the energy of sound is utilized to restore balance to the body and helps to activate the body’s innate capacity to heal. Sound healing technique is an ancient practice which was originated in Tibetan and Himalayan cultures. Tibetan singing bowls or metal bowls are used in spiritual and healing ceremonies conducted by monks in Nepal and Tibet. Basically, sound healing is the use of specific instruments like singing bowls, crystal singing bowls, drums, gongs, monochords, shruti boxes etc. to balance and heal the body, mind and spirit by creating a hypnotic meditative or theta brainwaves state which helps to access the deeper level of inner wisdom and healing. People have also found that practicing singing bowls therapy for an extended period of time increases their energy levels, mental clarity, creativity, and good relationships.
