Everything in nature vibrates at a unique frequency, including plants, crystals, objects and of course, our bodies.
Sound healing works on the scientific principle that everything in nature, including crystals, plants and our bodies vibrate at a unique frequency, which must be balanced. When our natural frequencies become “out of tune”, the body tends to go “out of balance” triggering a disease that manifests in our emotional, mental, energy or physical body.
Our thoughts and feelings produce energy, which trigger vibrations. Everything vibrates at a different level, including feelings. Emotions that we consider uncomfortable, or unpleasant, vibrate at relatively low levels. Emotions that most people find pleasant and joyful vibrate at higher levels.
For most people, it is easy to express positive emotions like happiness and joy. However, many people don’t want to feel negative emotions, so they stuff them inside. If this is done over years, the lowly vibrating trapped emotions stagnate in the body and cause disease.
Sound healing creates a balance in our mind and body system and has the power to heal not just emotional imbalance but also mental and physical imbalance. It works on two principles: That different emotions vibrate at different levels, and that blocked, or unexpressed emotions, are the main source of dis-ease.
Human bodies are 75% water, which is a great conductor for vibrations. Since sound travel four times faster in water than in air, hence it makes sound healing one of the most effective natural healing modality. Sound healers use instruments, such as Tibetan bowls, crystal bowls, musical instruments, gongs and even tuning forks, that vibrate at specific frequencies which correspond to specific emotions based on
resonance to create balance and harmony.
Brainwaves are directly linked to mental states of consciousness. There are different types of brainwaves: delta, theta, alpha and beta waves. Relatively slow delta waves are emitted during sleep, faster theta waves are emitted during meditation and beta waves (the fastest) are emitted when we are problem solving or focusing
on particular tasks.
Sound waves that correspond to these four types of brain waves are generated when the sound healing practitioner strikes specific bowls. For example, the sound healer uses instruments that produce vibrations corresponding to the brain’s theta waves (4-8 hertz) to induce the positive feelings and healing experienced during meditation.
Some of the most common benefits of sound therapy are:
The private personal session are tailored to individual needs. The sound healing practitioner starts the session with an intake form and discussion of the client’s needs for the session. Thus, the session becomes a joint effort towards wellness and the recipient is, as much as a participant in the healing as the facilitator.
Group sound healing sessions are commonly called “Sound Baths.” During a group experience many instruments are played to bring a sense of relaxation, meditation and wellness to the group.

I discovered the power of sound as a catalyst for my own healing and growth journey. Integrating sound into my practices helped connect me to the core of my being. I learnt how to listen to my intuition when sound was played from the bowl. Since incorporating sound into my daily meditation routine, I’ve noticed I can prolong the thoughtless moment , focus better at work and regulate my emotions better. This journey has not only allowed me to delve further into self-awareness but has also brought me closer to my true nature. ~ Felicia Tang
