Every civilization and religion has probably accepted that the universe or this creation has originated from vibration or sound. Thus every object in the universe must have a vibration or frequency. In this whole world in which we ourselves are included. Sound frequency has a miraculous effect on our ability to perceive. That’s why different types of songs or music often create specific emotions in us. If sound frequencies are used in a specially controlled manner, it can have a positive or negative impact on our physical or mental structure. This same method is also used as “sound therapy”. Which is an ancient healing technique. It is used to bring body and mind into a state of balance and harmony through vibrational frequencies.
How does it work?
During the “sound healing” session also known as sound bath, you usually lie down on the ground on a yoga mat or any comfortable blanket, etc. Close your eyes and listen to some special sound, which is played in a particular sequence. Which may include one or different types of instruments. In this position, you bathe in soothing sounds and vibrations. The sound frequency then slows the brain waves to a state of deep effusion, which activates the body’s process of self-healing.
Singing bowls, tuning forks, drums, conch are the instruments that are often used in this session. Each tool serves a different purpose. “Crystal bowls” correspond to the glands of seven chakras of our body. Their sound helps to de-stress the body and stimulates the glands and nervous system. The chanting of different mantras also creates a particular sound frequency. The ancient sages of our religion knew this thing long ago, that is why they had made chanting of mantras an integral part of rituals and worship. At present scientists are also doing all the research on the secrets hidden behind Vedic Mantras.
