Vibration Sound Therapy---the use of Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, chimes and bells may improve brain wave function. Research has linked music to a healthier mind and body by lowering stress levels and boosting the immune system. It has been used to reduce pain and promote a faster recovery from surgery.
Some of the health benefits of vibration sound healing: · Improves sleep · Lowers blood pressure · Lowers cholesterol levels · Can improve pain management · Lowers stress
Sound instruments can place the listener in a meditative state. Practitioners provide an alternative treatment for issues like anxiety, chronic pain, PTSD and sleep disorders. It is thought that appropriate sounds can unblock and redirect energy in our bodies similar to the way acupuncture does. Studies have shown that meditation and chanting, which are often components of the sound healing experience, contribute to an improved mental state. While response to this therapy is as varied as the individuals embracing it, many are positive, and recipients often choose to return for additional experiences.
Jim Angelico is a Usui/ Holy Fire and Karuna Reiki Master, Sound Healer and Tarot Instructor.
