What is Sound Healing?
Sound healing is a therapeutic practice that uses vibrational frequencies to bring the body and mind into a state of balance. By working with specific instruments — such as crystal singing bowls, tibetan bowls, gongs, ocean drum, and chimes — sound healing can guide the brain into meditative states, support deep relaxation, and encourage energetic harmony.

Scientific Studies
Research has shown that sound healing has measurable effects on the mind and body:
-
Reduction in Tension and Anxiety: A study on Tibetan singing bowl meditation found significant decreases in tension, anxiety, and depressed mood among participants. (PMC)
-
Improved Mood and Decreased Blood Pressure: Research indicates that playing a single Tibetan singing bowl can lower blood pressure and heart rate more effectively than silence, also enhancing mood. (PMC)
-
Enhanced Relaxation and Stress Reduction: Sound-based treatments have been associated with improved mobility, reduced muscle pain and stiffness, increased blood circulation, and lower blood pressure. (Psychology Today)
While more research is needed, these studies highlight the promising role of sound healing in supporting overall well-being.
