The science
Gongs and sacred instruments work for us in two ways. Firstly, as well as hearing, importantly the instruments work within very specific frequency ranges. Those frequencies enter our brain through the vagus nerve. The effect slows our heart rate, which in turn starts a relaxation process, which helps us achieve a meditative state. Before the extensive science that is available now, we were aware that when we hum or chant om you notice that your heart rate slows and you feel more relaxed.
Secondly, it’s fascinating to start understanding cymatics. The meaning of cymatics is “The study of wave phenomena, especially sound and their visual representations. A therapy in which sound waves are directed at the body with the aim of promoting health and healing.”
Therefore, frequencies, sound waves and vibrations that are brought into an audible range, that in this case completely relax us and frequencies that enter our mind body and soul.
Sound is fundamental to creation and is all around us throughout the universe. As an embryo in the womb, the first organ we develop is the inner ear. In water sound is 5 times greater than in air. So, in the darkness of the womb the first thing we sense is sound and vibrations, which forms our development.
It’s the first sense in the womb and the last sense when we die. We are simply baptised in sound, through frequency, energy, vibration and oscillation.
Just as with music, which is very formulated, it can make us feel happy or sad or to want to get up and dance or to hug our loved ones. Sound is fundamental to life!
Sound baths and sound healing sessions are great for relaxation in our busy everyday lives. But it’s so much deeper than that. The instruments used have been around for thousands of years and to great effect for healing.
As with most things today, many of us as humans require some kind of proof in order to be accepting. Science has proven those affects and health professionals now recommend sound healing to patients with a huge array of health conditions such as mental health issues, depression, anxiety, PTSD, cancers, menopause, MS, addictions and so many conditions where pain is so debilitating.
The medical world will still hand out medication that long term is detrimental and in many cases addictive. Thankfully, as more and more papers are released based on scientific facts, sound healing has become a recommended option for many conditions.
I can remember when acupuncture was viewed by our doctors as some sort of witch doctor treatment. It is now a positive recommendation by our doctors and the NHS! Sound therapy will become the same.
