How does sound healing work and what are the affects?

Sound meditation and sound healing are powerful practices that relax brain waves and offer deep rejuvenation by harnessing the unique properties of non-rhythmic sounds. Unlike regular music, the sounds used in these practices—such as those from singing bowls, tuning forks, or gongs—lack a steady rhythm, which prevents the brain from anticipating patterns and allows it to enter a state of deep relaxation. This unpredictability encourages the brain to shift from the active beta state to the more relaxed alpha, theta, or delta states, facilitating brainwave entrainment. Additionally, the rich harmonics and sustained vibrations of these sounds stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress hormones and promoting the body’s natural healing processes. As a result, these practices not only quiet the mind but also restore balance and foster profound inner peace.
