Sound Bath, Meditation & Healing – What’s all the Hype About?
Sound bath meditation – what exactly is all the hype about? Have you ever wondered what exactly sound meditation is and how it will benefit your health and well-being? And, does it really work?
Well my beloved readers, please read on, you’re about to find out!
The Benefits of Sound Bathing
Sound bath therapy allows your brain to relax into an alpha-dominant or theta-dominant brainwave state.
When you’re in this state, your brain has time to download what’s been happening throughout your day, and allows you to process thoughts and emotions. The positive effects are that you should feel calmer, happier, and less stressed and anxious after a session.
Sound bathing allows your nervous system to reset into a parasympathetic [rest and digest] vs sympathetic state [fight or flight].
A 2017 study found that music therapy may reduce symptoms of depression and promote overall mood. A 2013 study linked music to health benefits, including immune function and stress reduction.
Sound baths are said to help with:
- Stress
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Overwhelm
- Reduce any feelings of anger
In a 2017 study from a Trusted Source conducted on singing bowl meditation, participants noted decreases in tension, anger, and fatigue, possibly due to suppression of the fight-or-flight response.
In a 2015 study specifically conducted on gong baths, participants reported that they found the sound vibrations healing or relaxing.
