There are a few key principles that can be applied to the many different types of sound healing. The process of entrainment slows down the heart rate, respiratory rate, and even the brain waves to a state of deep relaxation where healing and regeneration can occur.
Starting with a fast beat on a drum, for example, the facilitator will gradually slow the rhythm down, causing the person’s bodily rhythms to naturally slow down with it. You can move quickly from a state of agitation to one of calmness with this technique.
Sympathetic resonance is finding the right frequency that will cause a blockage, or another object, to vibrate along with it, thus freeing and releasing it from its stuck, tense state. In this way, stress, tension, anxiety, and emotional blockages can literally be vibrated, cleared, and transmuted out of the body, leaving the person aligned, balanced, and clear mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
People often feel lighter, pain-free, and unburdened after a sound healing.
Sound vibrations affect the molecular level of physical matter. In doing so they massage every cell in the body. Different sound healing instruments create different sound waves with different healing potential.
What is unique about sound healing is you can readily feel this form of energy healing. This significantly creates a parasympathetic nervous response that brings a person more quickly into a meditative state. At the same time, it replenishes and energizes the person offsetting fatigue and burn-out. Again, these are just a few of the basic principles of this very complex and profound healing modality.
