A sound bath is an experience where you’re immersed in deep sound vibrations.
Sound baths may help treat mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety.
More precisely, sound baths are rooted in the idea that these frequencies correspond to specific energy centers in your body.
Additionally, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is driven by the concept of qi (pronounced “chi”), which translates to the energy or power flowing through your body.
When something goes wrong with your body it corresponds to an imbalance in one of these energy centers
The sound bath can reset these centers and get your energy moving in the right way. Then your body can heal.
Certain frequencies are said to be beneficial to specific areas of your body.
A 2020 systematic review of four peer-reviewed studies (including one involving people living with metastatic cancer and another with chronic spinal pain) showed possible health benefits after playing or listening to singing bowls.
Things you might experience include:
- Feeling calmer/less stressed
- Muscles feel relaxed and not tense
- A greater sense of well-being
- Pain relief
- The ability to sleep better
- Improved mood
- Body awareness/more in tune with your body
