SOUND MEDITATION
Sound meditation is a practice that uses sound vibrations and frequencies to help calm the mind, relax the body, and achieve a meditative state. It usually involves listening to certain tones, such as those produced by singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, chimes, or even vocal chanting. These sounds are believed to help synchronize brainwaves, promote relaxation, reduce stress, and deepen mindfulness.
Experiencing sound healing instruments like crystal bowls allows the ability of vibrational frequencies to move through the skin, fluid and bones of the body. This unique therapy can create a full body relaxation, rejuvenation and recalibration down to the cellular structure.
