If you are new to the idea of sound balancing – it’s generally defined as the use of therapeutic tones and vibrations to bring harmony to the body, mind and spirt.
Our bodies are made up of 75% water and because sound travels faster in water than air, we are wonderful conductors for these sound tools. When they are all harmonized together, it has been said to cause both sides of the brain to synchronize and create peace, calm and deep relaxation.
Why use the term sound balancing and not healing?
Coming from a personal belief that we are all responsible for our own healing and no single therapy or modality alone can do this work for us, I believe true healing is a layered process involving licensed professionals at various levels.
While there are many studies done on the positive, releasing, cleansing and energizing effects of sound, I tend to think of our bodies as instruments and the sound as a type of tuning tool; when tuned and balanced we are able to function in synchronous harmony.
There are several sound balancing tools I use, here are a few of my favorites:
Koshi Chimes are designed around the four elements: earth, water, fire, and air. Each chime has eight chords that produce a circular type of sound. As the notes build and fade, overtones become prevalent, which create a massage-like effect on the body that promotes a light, uplifting and energetic harmony.
Tuning Forks create a sound wave that is transmitted into the body to balance its energy. They work in a similar way to acupuncture but instead of needles, specific sound frequencies are used to stimulate energy centers in the body. When actually used on the body the vibration is stronger, but even from a distance their subtle energy can be felt. In my personal practice, I find tuning forks to be an energy force I never knew I needed.
The Tibetan Bowls are a bit of an acoustic phenomenon! They can be used to entrain brain waves (theta and delta), which are responsible for relaxation and deep sleep. This helps to quiet the mind chatter and move us into a space of calm.
Quartz Crystal bowls are made from one of the most resonate materials in the world. They produce a very pure sound that can used to balance and clear the energy centers of the body known as the chakras. Each bowl is associated with a different chakra:
C – Root
D – Sacral
E – Solar Plexis
F – Heart
G – Throat
B – Third Eye
A – Crown
High C (Solfeggio 528 HZ) is known as the miracle transformational tone, which dates to ancient times. It does complete the full octave and clears and cleanses all the chakras.
