Sound Healing
Explore our range of sound healing wellbeing solutions ranging from in-app Wellness Challenge modules to in-person or online streamed custom classes.
Sound healing utilizes sound frequencies and vibrations, like those from singing bowls and gongs, to induce relaxation, promote healing, and enhance well-being. It's based on the principle of brainwave entrainment, where sound frequencies can influence and synchronize the brain's electrical activity, leading to different states of consciousness.
Here's a more detailed look:
-
Brainwave Entrainment:
Different frequencies can induce different brainwave states:
-
Beta (13-38 Hz): Normal waking consciousness, active thinking.
-
Alpha (8-13 Hz): Relaxation, calm, light meditation.
-
Theta (4-7 Hz): Deep relaxation, meditation, light sleep.
-
-
Sound Baths:
A popular form of sound healing where individuals lie down and are immersed in a variety of sounds, often from instruments like singing bowls, gongs, and chimes.
-
Benefits:
Sound healing can help with:
-
Reducing stress, anxiety, and tension.
-
Improving mood and overall well-being.
-
Promoting physical pain relief.
-
Inducing relaxation and deep meditation.
-
-
Science and Research:
While research on sound healing is ongoing, studies suggest that music and sound can have positive effects on mental and physical health.
-
How it Works:
Sound vibrations travel through the air and are perceived by the body, activating the parasympathetic nervous system (the "rest and digest" response), which can slow down heart rate and breathing, putting the body into a relaxed state.
-
Ancient Practice:
Sound healing has roots in various cultures, from the use of the didgeridoo by Australian aboriginal tribes to Tibetan singing bowl ceremonies.
