SOUND BATHING: A Restorative Health & Wellness Practice
In various cultures for thousands of years the power of sound has been used as a tool for healing. These sounds were more soothing to the body helping it relax and process unwanted emotions. Today science is starting to see what they knew thousands of years ago:
SOUND IS POWERFULLY HEALING WHEN USED CORRECTLY
There lies within each of us the power to heal, to evolve and transform. This is the beauty of human life. Through careful attention to our thoughts and daily actions, we can learn the root causes of our challenges and pains. Ancient practices such as Sound Bathing help us to bring our bodies into balance and help clear the mind. Bodywork and massage are amongst the most ancient healing modalities. Proper nutrition is also key to the alchemy of healing.
Sound has profound affects on our nerves and cells – helping to turn on our parasympathetic nervous system which is our relaxation response. Constant societal stress and pressures activate the sympathetic nervous system, which is our fight or flight response. When we can activate our parasympathetic nervous system we give our bodies a chance to relax and heal. Through the various tones and sounds the body is offered an opportunity to resonate with a healing frequency as opposed to entraining with a harmful one. You are in essence giving your body, mind, and soul an opportunity to shift to a higher frequency and let go of lower vibrational thoughts, emotions, and other factors of life that no longer serve you.
A wide variety of ancient sound healing instruments are used, including planetary tuned gongs, crystal singing bowls, Tibetan singing bowls and more. Your body responds at a cellular level to the frequencies which helps bring your being into harmony and balance.
