Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Therapy

Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Therapy uses sound vibrations (sound waves) to reduce stress and promote healing. The blissful harmonic vibrations induce relaxation and create a deep sense of well being.

The nervous system is of vital importance to health, healing and happiness. The normal frequency of brain waves when we are awake is known as the beta state and is associated with active concentration, anxious thinking, anxiety and apprehension. This type of stressful brain activity, when prolonged or excessive, alters the normal functioning of the nervous system and leads to impaired digestion, chronic fatigue, heart diseases and a hyperactive immune system.

Neuroscientists have discovered that areas of the brain linked to positive emotions, good mood, self-control and a happy temperament light up when the brain is in a meditative state. Brain waves in meditation or sleep states (alpha, theta, delta) are associated with deep relaxation, clarity of mind, creativity and intuition. Tibetan Sound Therapy impacts the central nervous system function in a very profound and positive way by synchronizing the brain with the deeper alpha and theta brain wave frequencies.

Relaxation is necessary for healing. Tibetan Sound Therapy trains the body to relax so that natural healing mechanisms are activated. In the relaxed state, the sound vibrations balance brain wave patterns so that stressful habitual thought patterns are unblocked and released. In the relaxed state, the sound vibrations bring the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems into proper balance – stimulating cellular repair, cellular detoxification and immunity. Sound therapy has been shown to be a vital part of the healing process for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy as well as for patients struggling with pain and/or stress-related conditions such as depression.

Vital energy (qi) flows through the meridian pathways of our body and rotates through seven energy centers (chakras). Each energy center and organ system is associated with a tone on the musical scale. The sound vibrations of the Tibetan Singing Bowls resonate with the various tones associated with energy centers and organ systems, creating a powerful stimulating effect.

You can enjoy the blissful sounds and vibrations of Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Therapy in half hour or hour long sessions. You can also add Tibetan Sound Therapy to your acupuncture treatments to promote a more relaxed state and to enhance the treatment session.
