“If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches ever part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes. Sound can redress imbalances on every level of physiological functioning and can play a positive role in the treatment of virtually any medical disorder.” Dr Mitchell Gaynor, Director of Medical Oncology and Integrative Medicine at Cornell Cancer Prevention Center in New York and author of The Healing Power of Sound.
The pure vibrations which emanate from Himalayan singing bowls are widely used to heal people from stress, body aches, and depression. The profound tones sync with the mind and bring about states of consciousness optimized for meditation, creative thinking, and profound relaxation.
The effects of sound healing are not limited to the physical body but are also very effective in healing negative or painful emotions.
The late David Simon, former medical director of the Deepak Chopra Center in California found that sound healing releases natural painkillers or ‘endogenous opiates’ from inside the body.
Illness is a manifestation of a deep disharmony within the body and mind. As all matter is made of the same energy, but vibrating at different rates, change can be affected by adjusting the body’s frequency. Singing bowls induce a theta wave brain state which leads to feelings of peace, mental clarity, and heightened intuition.
Singing bowls produce a pulsating tone which feels soothing and relaxing. As you become more and more relaxed, your brain begins to synchronize with the vibrational tones, enhancing your mind-body connection and optimizing the flow of energy throughout the body.
It was said by the great Tibetan master and Boddhisattva Padmasambhava that the sound produced by singing bowls is “the sound of the void” or the frequency at which the universe manifests itself.
