What Is Vibrational Sound Healing?

By Peter McDonald


There are special instruments involved in the practice of this type of therapy. Singing bowls are one of the popular types of instruments that are used in vibrational sound healing. By incorporating both movement and sound, this therapy achieves unique and highly effective results.

There are a great many groups that have been built around this sort of therapy. These companies are important so that this field can continue to grow and become better, and so more people can know about it. In addition, it's good for practitioners and clients alike to be able to exchange information.

There are so many tools that are used in this field that they can sometimes get lost behind the most popular ones, like singing bowls. A lot of people are familiar with bells and gongs, but they don't realize that when used as tools, they also hold therapeutic value. Chimes are used, which one might recognize from the relaxing sound they make on the porch on a breezy day, and then there's also tingshaws, which produce a meditative tone when tapped together.

The instruments that are still used today in this therapy have been in use since ancient times. Things are a lot different than they were in ancient times, and so organizations are looking for new ways to use these instruments that work for the people of today. The correct use of these tools allows the therapy to work best and creates a relaxing environment.

The singing bowls that are used aren't just ones that can be bought at a carnival or in a vending booth. For this therapy, it is necessary that the singing bowls be engineered specifically for this use. With the use of the right equipment, the therapy can be deeply relaxing, but with the wrong equipment, you will experience poor results.

The number one component of this branch of therapy involves the person being in an extremely relaxed state. Sessions are usually the way that this therapy is done, in which the person carrying out the practice will speak to you and engage you aurally with therapeutic sounds, and physically by placing the bowls on your body. This can be done as a solitary experience or with a number of participants involved.

People experience a range of effects from this type of therapy. Sometimes, you'll fall into a deeply relaxed state. Other times, you might even find yourself feeling a bit meditative.

There are some marked benefits to going with this type of therapy as opposed to an ordinary massage. Some people are very sensitive to being in a vulnerable position and being touched by someone you don't know. Knowing that there won't be any direct physical contact or remove any clothes in this method is a benefit that many are enticed by. When a practitioner is using this kind of technique, the singing bowls will be placed directly on the client's body.
