3 benefits of sound healing for those who suffer from anxiety

 What exactly is sound bowl healing?

A sound bowl healing session uses crystal quartz bowls to generate sound frequencies creating a ripple effect within the body, shaking it back to centre with gentle healing. When the body experiences vibrational frequencies created with sound it enters a state of relaxation, shutting off the body's fight-or-flight response. Sound bowl healing is much like yoga, meditation, and fitness, in that it is a proven holistic therapy used to enhance mental, physical, and spiritual health and wellbeing within the body. Unlike the modalities listed above, sound healing requires zero practice or technique, all that is required is to listen, making it ideal for anyone and everyone seeking improved mental and physical wellbeing.   

How does sound healing benefit those who suffer from anxiety? 

You may not think of sound as having a direct impact on your health, but studies show that listening to sound frequencies of sorts can reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress. Simply put, sound has power. It can help people to relax, cope better with stressful situations, and even help them think more clearly. 

For some people experiencing anxiety the effects of stress can be so overwhelming that they can't even think straight. A sound bath is typically a way of managing such ailments, soothing the nervous system, and blocking all the ideas and thoughts out of your consciousness as you connect with your body and the universe. Research has shown that those who feel more connected with oneself and their environment ten to be healthier, and, in some cases, it may even prevent the development of chronic health conditions. 

Another significant benefit of sound healing is an increase in sleep quality, one of the most essential functions of the body. With the use of sound frequencies, the mind quiets, enters a deep state or relaxation and allows for an ease of deep sleep. Deep sleep restores the brain’s prefrontal mechanisms that regulate our emotions, preparing us for physical and emotional challenges that come day-to-day. When the body experiences deep sleep it can recharge, creating an increase in focus, concentration, and mood, and a decrease in feelings of anxiety and stress.  

Generally, those who suffer from anxiety experience fast breathing and rapid heart rate regularly. Sound healing accompanies the use of breathwork, allowing for the heart, breath and other vitals to slow and regulate for overall improvement. 

The benefits listed above are only a few of many that are a direct result of the consistent use of sound healing. If you are one who suffers from any of the ailments listed above, please consider giving sound healing a try. I have several options including virtual and in-person sessions to accommodate all, reach out to learn more or schedule a session today!
