Sound, from ages past, has been known to benefit in healing the Body and mind and create a balanced and synergetic environment conducive for healing – body, mind and spirit. We can see the use of sound in every culture and traditions in the world and this is due to its healing powers.

Healing as per Cambridge dictionary is “the process in which a bad situation or painful emotion ends or improves”

Heal means“to make sound or whole”. So anything that makes us whole and natural is healing. Sound is a great way to synchronize our body and initiate healing.

Humanity has always had sound from eons beyond and sound making instruments have been used to promote healing and transformation.

TheTibetan singing bowl has been considered as the most primal and useful sound healing instrument for healing and generating Harmony.

In Ayurvedic Tradition of healing, a method call Samvahan uses massage and sound vibrations to induce healing. Samvahan means “reawakening of tissue”, and this is what sound healing does. Sound healing re-awaken the healing powers of our body and brings about deep relaxation. Deep relaxation and rest activates ourPara Sympathetic Nervous System, which in turn allows our body to repair the organs and tissues in our body, our healing time.

TheSinging bowls are played using wooded mallet. The sounds that are produced by the bowls directly affect our chakras, our energy centers. This in turn gives energy to our physical body to heal and repair. The Healing process, thus, is accelerated with Sound Healing.

Quantum Physics has scientifically demonstrated that everything is Vibration. Wherever there is sound, there is vibration. When these sound vibration frequencies are in same as our energy centers, chakras, vibration, the body’s energy can be changes and at the same time this brings about a deep relaxation and rest state to the body. This activates the parasympathetic nervous system which in turn triggers the detox and rest process in the body. This is how Singing bowls are used tore-tune our health.
