The Science of Sound Therapy
Sound healing is based on the principles of acoustic physics and neuroacoustics. Specific frequencies entrain the brain's electrical activity — moving from beta (anxious thinking) to alpha and theta (relaxed, creative, healing states).
Research shows low-frequency sound reduces cortisol, increases theta brainwave activity (associated with deep meditation and healing), and improves heart rate variability.
Instruments We Use
At Health Therapies Clinics:
- Tibetan singing bowls — placed on and around the body, vibrations penetrate tissue deeply
- Crystal singing bowls — tuned to specific chakra frequencies
- Tuning forks — applied directly to acupuncture and reflex points
- Gongs — for group sound bath and deep nervous system reset
- Voice and toning — overtone singing and seed syllables from Vedic tradition
Who Benefits from Sound Healing?
Sound healing is particularly effective for anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, grief, chronic tension, post-illness recovery, and spiritual development. Both individual sessions and group sound baths are available at our clinic.
