Essentials of the Soul
Sound Healing Meditation
What is sound healing?
Sound healing is a form of healing that uses different vibrations to heal the body, mind and spirit. It works on two principles: That different emotions vibrate at different levels, and that blocked, or unexpressed emotions, are one of the main source of disease.
The vibrations of emotions
We all learned in our elementary science classes that everything is made of atoms. Quantum physicists discovered that atoms are made of subatomic particles, which continually vibrate at certain frequencies. In fact, at the quantum level, what we think of as a quantum particle is really that particle’s vibration. Physics carried this to its logical conclusion and found that the entire universe is just a consequence of many infinitely large fields vibrating.
How does sound healing work, on the energetic level?
As you probably also recall from your basic science classes, human bodies are 75% water, which is a great conductor for vibrations. Sound healers use instruments, such as Tibetan bowls, crystal bowls, glasses, gongs and even tuning forks, that vibrate at specific frequencies when struck. These vibrations correspond to specific emotions.
When the sound practitioner strikes the bowl, they release the healing vibration of a blocked chakra into the body of the person being healed. This opens the chakra, allowing it to release the trapped negative emotions.
The science behind healing
From a traditional medical perspective sound is perceived through the ear. However, as more scientific evidence has emerged, researchers have found that sound is felt physically via vibrations in the body. These vibrations can have a multitude of effects on a person. Sound healing works in four ways:
Sympathetic resonance.
Brainwave entrainment.
Frequency Following Response.
Balance the brain’s left and right hemispheres.
