What is Sound Healing?

Everything in the universe, including the human body, vibrates at a specific frequency. When our natural frequencies are disrupted by stress, illness, or emotional imbalance, sound healing can help "retune" the body.

The Science Behind Sound Baths

Sound baths employ a variety of instruments, such as crystal singing bowls, gongs, and chimes, to produce sound waves that resonate with the body, helping to restore harmony at the cellular level.

Brainwave Entrainment: The repetitive, rhythmic sounds used in sound baths can influence brainwave activity through a process called entrainment. These sounds help shift brainwaves from active beta states (associated with stress and alertness) to alpha, theta, or even delta states, which are linked to relaxation, creativity, and deep healing.

Nervous System Regulation: The soothing vibrations activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps counteract the fight-or-flight response. This shift promotes relaxation, reduces cortisol (stress hormone) levels, and enhances overall well-being.

Stress and Emotional Healing: The calming sounds in a sound bath help reduce stress, anxiety, and emotional tension by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Sound also activates the limbic system, which is associated with emotions, memory, and behavior, creating a deeply therapeutic experience.
