Have you ever experienced the calming effects of music on your mood? If so, you've already experienced the power of sound to affect your body and mind. Sound healing takes this concept to a much deeper level, using specific sound frequencies and vibrations to promote physical , emotional and spiritual well-being.
“Imagine that the entire universe, everything we know, is created and sustained by sound. Also, imagine that you are a being composed of many tones. Its shape, movements, desires and motivations come from an inner concert. All you know and feel is sound. His concert is everywhere."- John Beaulieu (Book: Human Tuning)“
“Every organ, bone, and tissue in your body has its own resonant frequency. Together they form a composite frequency, a harmonic that is your personal vibrational frequency."- GOLDMAN, 1994, p. 20
“If you want to discover the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration." - Nikola Tesla
But what is Sound Healing anyway?
Sound healing is the practice of using sound waves to improve health and well-being. It is based on the idea that sound vibrations can affect the organs, energy systems of the body and promote healing. Sound healing practitioners use various instruments, such as singing bowls, gongs, and tuning forks, to produce sound waves that can be used to balance the body's organs, energy centers (the chakras), heal illness, and induce a state of relaxation.
How does Sound Healing work?
According to sound healing principles, everything in the universe vibrates at a specific frequency. When our bodies are out of balance, it could be due to energy blockages or imbalances in our energy centers, also known as chakras. Sound healing practitioners believe that using specific sound frequencies can help to unblock and balance these energy centers, resulting in better physical and emotional well-being.
Also, any type of frequency can help alleviate general pain and emotional issues, as well as improve your mind. However, some practitioners point to specific frequencies that can target and heal specific issues. Therefore, when the following frequencies are played, they can affect these organs, systems and diseases:
586 Hz - Blood circulation and sexual organs
492 Hz - Adrenal and Thyroid Glands
330 Hz - Kidney
198 Hz - Liver
352 Hz - Bladder
281.6 Hz - Small intestine
220 Hz - Lung
176 Hz - Colon
330 Hz - Gallbladder
117.3 Hz - Pancreas
110 Hz - Stomach
492 Hz - Spleen

The Science Behind Sound Healing
While the concept of sound healing may seem mystical, there is scientific evidence to support its effectiveness. Studies have shown that sound waves can affect the brain and alter brain waves, leading to a state of relaxation. Sound healing has also been shown to regulate the functions of diseased organs, damage cancer cells, help treat infections, reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep, and increase feelings of peace and well-being.
Types of Sound Healing Techniques
There are many different types of sound healing techniques that practitioners use. Some common techniques include:
Singing bowl therapy: involves the use of singing bowls, which are metal bowls that produce a soft tone when struck.
Gong Bath: A Gong Bath is a sound healing session in which the practitioner strikes multiple gongs to create an immersive sound experience.
Tuning fork therapy: involves using tuning forks, which are metal rods that produce a specific frequency when struck, to balance organs and chakras (energy centers in the body).
Vocal Toning: involves using the voice to produce specific sounds and frequencies to promote healing.
Percussion: Involves using drums or other percussion instruments to produce rhythmic sounds that can induce a state of relaxation.
Specific frequencies: listen daily in ambient sound or through headphones the specific frequencies of healing and restoration of chakras and organs.
