What is Sound Therapy?
With sound therapy we mean the practice that makes use of instruments sspecifics capable of creating music, tones and other sound vibrations to balance the body, mind and spirit.
It involves the use of specialized sound frequencies to create antherapeutic atmosphere to promote deep rest, nervous system rebalancing, and emotional release.
Ideally, it is created through a hypnotic and meditative brainwave state that allows access to deeper levels of inner thought and healing.
In other words, sound therapy is a holistic treatment which uses sound and sound vibrations to induce a calmer state of mind and a relaxed body.
Think of it a bit like an effortless meditation.
How does it work in practice?
Sound waves or vibrations created by some instruments, such as gongs, tuning forks, and singing bowls, can actually alter the frequencies of the brain waves.
A sound therapy treatment is then performed reproducing specific sound frequencies around and/or on specific parts of the patient’s body.
A personalized session begins with an introduction to the client’s health issues, followed by a guided meditation that will help relax and open up to the healing vibrations.
What are the benefits of sound therapy
Sound therapy has been used for thousands of years around the world to treat both mental and physical ailments.
It is a very effective form of alternative medicine because it acts directly on the energy field and chakras of the body rather than on the body itself.
When we experience stress, illness, injury or emotional trauma, our body tends to deplete all of its vital energy. Our immune system weakens, making us susceptible to disease.
Sound therapy uses the power of sound to restore the balance of the body, and at the same time improve some aspects of our life.
Here are the most common benefits of sound therapy:
Helps relax the mind, reducing anxiety and stress
When you listen to soothing sounds, your body releases endorphins, serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin and norepinephrine. These chemicals produced by the body make us happy and help us better overcome moments of anxiety and stress.
They also reduce blood pressure and heart rate, promoting deep states of relaxation.
Helps you sleep better
Listening to relaxing music before bedtime can facilitate sleep and improve its quality. This is because the relaxation response is triggered by slow brainwaves, such as those produced by deep meditation.
Listening to soothing sounds before going to sleep can therefore help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. And because sound therapy reduces stress, it can help you wake up feeling more refreshed.
Reduces physical pain
When we experience physical pain, the brain produces certain inflammatory hormones.
However, by taking part in sound therapy practice, our brain releases endorphinswhich block the effects of these inflammatory hormones and help relieve pain.
