SOUND HEALING
SOUND HEALING
Sound healing with crystal bowls is a form of vibrational therapy that uses the pure tones produced by crystal singing bowls to promote relaxation, stress relief, and healing.
Crystal singing bowls are made from high-quality quartz crystal, which is a piezoelectric material. This means that when the crystal is struck or rubbed, it produces an electrical charge that creates vibrations. These vibrations are then transmitted through the air and into the body.
​
The human body is made up of approximately 70% water, and water is a very good conductor of sound. As the sound waves from the crystal bowls pass through the body, they cause the water molecules to vibrate. This vibration can help to release tension, improve circulation, and promote healing.
​
In addition to crystal bowls' physical effects, these instruments are also said to have a profound impact on the mind and emotions. The pure tones produced by the bowls can help to quiet the mind, reduce stress, and promote feelings of peace and well-being.
-
The sound waves from the crystal bowls entrain the brainwaves. Entrainment is a process by which the frequency of one wave is gradually brought into alignment with the frequency of another wave. When the brainwaves are entrained, they begin to resonate at the same frequency as the sound waves. This can lead to a variety of benefits, such as relaxation, stress reduction, and improved cognitive function. The mind becomes more still and goes into the Alpha-Wave state, which puts the person into effortless meditation.
-
The sound waves from the crystal bowls stimulate the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is a major component of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the "rest and digest" response. When the vagus nerve is stimulated, it can help to lower blood pressure, slow the heart rate, and promote feelings of relaxation.
-
The sound waves from the crystal bowls help to release blocked energy. The body's energy system is made up of a network of channels called meridians. When these meridians become blocked, it can lead to a variety of physical and emotional problems. The sound waves from the crystal bowls can help to clear these blockages and restore the flow of energy throughout the body.
​
Furthermore, as each chakra is associated with the different Note, the frequency sound waves are therefore able to rebalance the energy centres accordingly.

When crystal bowls are played in alignment with the chakras, they can help to balance and harmonize the energy of the chakras. This can lead to a variety of benefits, such as improved physical health, emotional well-being, and spiritual growth.
For example, if someone is feeling ungrounded or insecure, they may benefit from listening to the note C, which is associated with the Root Chakra. Or, if someone is feeling blocked or unexpressive, they may benefit from listening to the note G, which is associated with the Throat Chakra.
