Some historians believe that sound healing may have begun 40,000 years ago. It is a practice that has endured and is currently found in different forms in almost every culture around the globe. As stated in this article, Sound healing “is an ancient technique that uses tonal frequencies to bring the body into a state of vibrational balance and harmony.”
Some people refer to a sound healing experience as a “sound bath” in which they lie down in a completely relaxed state and listen to a facilitator play different vibrations and sounds using various tools, including crystal bowls, drums, gongs, and other instruments. The profound restorative benefits occur when the sound frequencies slow down the brain’s activity and trigger the body’s ability to heal itself.
