Are Healing Sounds the New Way to Anxiety and Stress Relief?
Sound is all around us; some we hear and some we don’t, but sound may be an effective means of healing.
Sound is all around us. Most of it we hear, but many of them we either don't hear or unconsciously block out to make ourselves less stimulated by them. By stimulation, I mean potentially anxious or distracted. If we are swimming in an environment of sound, could it prove to have some benefits for us? If so, what might they be, and what are scientists doing about it?
For thousands of years, Tibetan and Buddhist communities have embraced singing bowl sound meditation as a traditional technique to promote healing and relaxation. This practice has been utilized to promote relaxation. For the purpose of producing a therapeutic auditory experience, the technique requires the skillful employment of metallic bowls, which are often constructed of a variety of metals such as crystal or brass.
These bowls have been purposefully crafted to provide a sound that is both resonant and soothing when they are hammered or played with a mallet. When the bowls are played, they produce harmonic tones and vibrations that can go deep into the body, and it is believed they can affect the body’s energy system (energetic system).
