Sound healing uses vibrations from various sources, such as singing bowls, tuning forks, harmonic gongs, and drums, to induce healing, relaxation, and changed states of consciousness. These vibrations can be used to stimulate the body’s energy centers, known as chakras, and bring balance to the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of a person’s being.
​The practice of sound healing can be divided into four main categories: yogic, shamanic, tonal, and psychoacoustic. Yogic sound healing uses chanting and toning to activate the Kundalini energy, the energy that lies dormant within all people, while shamanic sound healing encourages contact with the spirit world through drums, rattles, and other instruments. Tonal sound healing focuses on using single tone instruments to balance the flow of energy throughout the body, while psychoacoustic sound healing uses synthesized sounds to induce altered states of consciousness and stimulate healing.

In addition to being used as a healing tool, research suggests that sound healing may also help reduce stress, anxiety, and negative emotions, and improve overall physical health. Studies have also shown that sound healing can have positive effects on mood and improve cognitive performance.

The field of sound healing is relatively new and more studies are needed to better understand its effects. However, many people report experiencing improved well-being from regular sound healing sessions, suggesting that it may be a valuable technique for improving overall health and wellness.

Sound healing can also be used to complement traditional medical treatments by helping to reduce stress and discomfort caused by a variety of medical conditions. For example, studies have shown that sound healing can help reduce anxiety associated with cancer treatments and improve the quality of life for people suffering from chronic pain.

​Proponents of sound healing believe that it has the power to open the heart and connect us to a deeper level of understanding. Some believe that through sound healing, we are able to reach a state of heightened awareness, allowing us to access higher levels of consciousness.

Sound healing is a holistic healing approach that is used by many people to improve health, relaxation and mental well-being. From ancient traditions to modern science, research suggests that sound healing may have numerous benefits, including reducing stress and anxiety, improving physical health, and promoting overall well-being. While further research is needed to better understand the effects of sound healing, many people have already experienced its positive effects on their wellness journey
