Let’s get to learning about Singing Bowl Therapy in detail:
5 Benefits Of Singing Bowl Therapy
Deep relaxation /Stress relief : The first benefit that you’ll receive from this therapy is a deep relaxation in the body. The sound waves work their way inside the body and remove stress from the stiff muscles and fatigued mind, leaving you lighter and more energetic.
Release of energetic and emotional blockages: A lot of people may not be aware that we can suffer from emotional blockages. These are barriers that trap our energy restricting our creativity from flowing through. In this case, Singing Bowl Therapy works effectively through sound waves that trigger and release the trapped energy in our bodies allowing the creativity flow into our minds. This will expand our horizons and open the creative doorways in our minds.
Alleviates various body aches and pains: When our bodies and minds are stressed, pain will follow. Pain occurs because stress causes our muscles to become less active and stops them from relaxing. Singing Bowl Therapy gently facilitates energy flow, which enhances the oxygenating flow of blood to our minds and bodies, alleviating body pain.
Grounding: The highlight of this therapy is that it creates a physical connection between the human body and nature's sounds. Grounding meditations tend to facilitate concentration and relaxation.
Clarity: Stress can affect our thoughts and capacity to think clearly. Have you felt mentally stuck in the middle of the work day? Or caught yourself wondering about what needs to be done tomorrow? Singing bowls therapy boosts your mental capabilities, achieving clarity of mind.
How Does Singing Bowl Therapy Help You Physically?
You’ll be surprised that sound therapy or healing with sound frequencies is not just a recent trend. In fact, sound healing is an age old practice. According to a paper published by the Institute of Noetic Science website:
“Since its development as a therapy in Australia over 40,000 years ago, sound healing has been used to aid in the treatment of mental and physical illnesses and injuries, as well as to assist in the dying process. Though originally performed using only the yidaki, or didgeridoo, sound healing now involves a wide array of instruments (tuning forks, crystal bowls, drums, ultrasonic devices) as well as human and animal vocalizations.”
Our heart rate, breath and brain functions are synced and codependent, creating natural rhythms in the body. If we were to hold our breaths, our heart rates and brain functions will naturally be affected. Overtime, this stress on our minds and bodies will weaken our central nervous system. Singing Bowl Therapy helps in the following ways.
Calms The Nervous System: You can take proactive steps in calming your nervous system and bringing your body to a peaceful state. Some sounds can grate on your nerves and drive you to distraction while other sounds are more pleasant and have a positive effect on your concentration as well as facilitate relaxation. The difference lies in the frequency, quality, and vibration of the sounds in addition to how they interact with you and your body. In expert hands, you will feel soothed and light as a feather.
Reduces Blood Pressure And Lowers Heart Rate: Research from the Journal of Evidence Based Complementary Alternative Medicine, finds that consistent Singing Bowl Therapy can keep the blood pressure stabilised and reduce the risk of getting heart diseases.
Increases Immune Response: Harmonical waves produced during the Singing Bowl Therapy can reduce stress and stimulate the immune system. Receiving this therapy at least once a week helps in building a strong immune system, which will then work more effectively in preventing ill health.
Drop In Stress Hormones: Medical tests have found that Singing Bowl Therapy is linked with eliminating stress hormones in the body and keeping you active.
How Does Singing Bowl Therapy Help You Emotionally?
A well-known neuro-musicologist tested an array of music on patients to study their effects on a person’s brain. The experiment concluded that the music helped the patients think in a well balanced way. The music he played also helped in resolving emotions that were associated with current or past trauma.
Brainwave Entrainment: Built up stress not only hurts us physically but mentally as well. In this situation, the singing bowl’s tone helps us relax as we listen to it closely. It has a way of tuning with the brain waves, bringing a sense of calm to the brain, giving rise to pleasant and positive emotions.
Mozart Effect: Some musical components in Mozart’s music are linked to activating certain parts of the brain and enhancing learning capabilities.
What To Expect On Session Day?
On the session day, you’ll meet your therapist. Before she starts the session, she will walk you through the entire process and explain how to get the best out of your session. Tibetan singing bowls will be placed either on or around your body. They will then be played gently, weaving the rich, harmonic tones of the ancient singing bowls with silent pauses to bring you to a state of relaxation and healing by opening your mind and your heart. Here are some personal experiences from our practise sessions:
“I really enjoyed the session. Felt relaxed; slept very well the following day. Amanda explained the process and theory behind the bowls prior to the session; during the session, I was more focused by the feeling of the bowls than the presence of the facilitator; very good” - Clark
“I approached the singing bowl therapy session with an open mind, and was immediately feeling calm and relaxed with the melodious tones enveloping me. The vibrations from the singing bowl could be distinctively felt, and that resonated with the body in serene, massaging waves. I was pleasantly surprised at how the carefully chosen tones in each bowl integrated with my senses. It was soothing.” - Seth
"Amanda is a beautiful person who inspires confidence. She radiates positive energy and is packed with loads of knowledge on singing bowl therapy works. She has helped me stay calm and aided me in finding my true inner-self." - Yen
"I was deeply relaxed by the aural tones. There was immediate pain reduction in hip, hamstring seemed to have lengthened from its shortened state.” - Debbie
What To Expect After A Series of Singing Bowl Therapy Sessions?
Transformational Shifts: When people go through a series of sound healing sessions, their lives begin to transform. They find themselves filled with positivity, and experience improvements both mentally and physically. Sound healing boosts confidence and aids in decision making through engendering a situation where people can start to overcome the negativity that was eating them up from the inside. Stress plays a major part in shattering someone’s confidence and causes mood swings. Singing Bowl Therapy eliminates stress effectively leaving the person with positive vibes and feeling energised.
Eliminates Negative Thoughts: One major reason to take on Singing Bowl Therapy is to eliminate negative thoughts. It is important to note that once you are in therapy, you may experience some brutally negative thoughts that might make you feel weak and angry. This is the time when you will need to find courage and pull yourself together in order to allow the therapy to do its work in helping you process and deal with the negative thoughts.
Enhances Clarity: Sound therapy is said to enhance clarity of thought, strengthen emotional resilience and promote better decision making. Taking this therapy will help you see a clearer picture so that you may craft your own unique path towards success and happiness.
