Sound Therapy

"The bowls demonstrate the truly manifold possibilities for healing through vibratory sound.

Our body-mind systems are literally
“retuned” by the bowl sounds, and the effects can be physical, psychological, spiritual,
or all three at once.”

Sound healing is a form of vibrational healing which works
on the energy system of the body in ways similar to
Homoeopathy, Reiki and Bach flower remedies to name a few.

  
 

Everything that moves vibrates, from the smallest molecule to the universe itself. As long as it is vibrating, it is making some kind of sound. We may not perceive the sound, as it may be below or above the threshold of our hearing. The human ear can hear sound vibrations between 20 and 20,000 cycles per second, although we also perceive sound by skin and bone conduction, ingesting and consuming it with the whole body.

Many cultures and religions revere sound so deeply as to believe it called the universe into being. For the Hindus, all was dark and quiet in the universe, until the first movement in the universe created the sound "AUM". It is the mother tone, containing the frequencies of all other sounds.

Scientific studies show that sound can produce changes in the autonomic, immune, endocrine and neuropeptide systems. Every atom, molecule, cell, gland, and organ of the human body absorbs and emits sound. The entire body, as well as our brain waves in a relaxed state, vibrates at a fundamental frequency of about 8 cycles per second, literally entraining and attuning us to the basic electromagnetic field of the earth itself.

 

The human body is a symphony of sounds. Every every organ, every bone, every tissue, every cell has its own resonant frequency, its own sound. Together, they create a unified or composite frequency, with its own sound, like the instruments of an orchestra coming together.

When we are healthy and balanced, the individual sounds and frequencies comprise a harmonious whole. However, when our thoughts, an organ or other body system is out of time or out of tune with the rest, then the entire body is affected. This disharmony leads to states of disease and disintegration.

Through the principles of resonance and entrainment, sound therapy can be used for physical healing, as well as for mental and emotional transformation. The correct frequency reminds the body's energy field of its original blueprint and works to realign it into harmony.

Each individual has their own vibrational frequency, in sickness and in health, and energetic or vibrational medicine can restore and support harmony in the body and mind.

There are many methods of healing with sound. Mantras and chants have been used for thousands of years. Many acoustic instruments are used in a variety of ways to effect change.
