To many, sound baths may seem like a “new age” concept, but the fact is that this is a traditional method that helps healing the mind and body with the power of sounds and it is thousands of years old with deep roots in cultures across the world.
In simple terms, Sound Baths or Sound Healing is a meditative experience where the people attending the session are “bathed” in sound waves, which are produced using various sources, including healing instruments such:
- Gongs
- singing bowls
- percussion
- chimes
- rattles
- tuning forks
The best part about the music being generated is that it doesn’t have a catchy melody or rhythm. The music, on the other hands, is created very carefully with notable resonance and overtones. The prime goal of the music or sound is to help change and balance the energy of the participants.
There is no need to repeat the music, lyrics or hook into a melody. Instead, the music will simply help release the stress and let your brain go with the flow. Among the unending benefits of sound baths or sound healing therapy, some of the common ones include complete relaxation to your mind and increased sense of wellbeing along with expanded awareness, and access to inner visionary experience.
So, if you are dealing with any kind of mental or physical pressure, using sound baths can be the ideal choice to let the stress or pain go without even the use of any kind of medication.
