Sound Healing Meditation
Sound has a long history of being associated with meditation and healing. Sound healing has long been practised in civilizations around the world, from Australian aboriginal tribes that have been using the didgeridoo as a sound healing equipment for more than 40,000 years to Tibetan or Himalayan singing bowl spiritual rites.
Sound healing meditation is a sort of meditation that focuses on concentrated awareness. The practice of using crystal singing bowls, bells and quartz bowls emphasize how sound is experienced not only via hearing but also through tactile bodily vibrations and frequencies.
Although science is still learning how sound heals, the current research is encouraging. An analysis of 400 published scientific studies on music as medicine showed substantial evidence that music improves mood and reduces stress in both mental and physical health. In fact, rhythm (as opposed to melody) can help to relieve physical pain.
Many anxiety therapists use sound therapy to reduce stress, depression, anxiety and improve mental health. And this is for all the good reasons as mentioned above.
Theories Explaining Why Sound Healing Meditation is linked with relaxation and pain relief
Sound, according to one idea, acts by causing vibrating tactile sensations throughout the body. Sound has the potential to excite touch fibres, which can alter pain perception. One research of persons with fibromyalgia revealed that 10 treatments of low-frequency sound stimulation (done twice a week for five weeks) improved sleep and reduced pain, allowing nearly three-quarters of participants to stop taking pain medication.
