Have you ever heard of a sound bath? If not, trust me you are not the only one. Although it may be considered new age wellness, sound healing is hardly a new form of therapy. The ancient Greeks used music to cure mental disorders and throughout history, sound has been used to help people work faster, influence, and boost morale. Many also believe that sound can heal the body. That’s because humans have a natural instinct for sound therapy. Just think about how a favorite song can lift your mood.

Sound healing involves using sound vibrations to relax your mind and body. In general, a sound bath is a meditative experience where those in attendance are “bathed” in sound waves. These waves are produced by various sources, including healing instruments such as gongs, singing bowls, percussion, chimes, rattles, tuning forks, and even the human voice itself.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SOUND HEALING?

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:

  • lower stress levels
  • fewer mood swings
  • lower blood pressure
  • lower cholesterol
  • improved sleep

Over the years, sound healing has also been used to treat a number of conditions including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, autism, and dementia.

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above I highly recommend googling local sound bath’s near you and giving it a try.
