What is sound healing?

Simply, this involves using sound vibrations to relax your mind and body. “Sound can shift frequencies from low energy of guilt and fear to higher vibrations of love and joy. Sound healing is the use of sacred instruments or voice to release energetic blockages inducing a state of ease and harmony in the body.” While there are many types of sound therapy, all of them produce vibrations that alter your brain waves.

Vibrations are especially useful for healing the body. “The adult body is 75% water, and water is a great conductor for sound vibration,”. “When vibrations travel through the body, they promote circulation, energy flow, and rejuvenation. The frequency of the sound synchronizes with the brainwaves and activates destress responses in the body.”
