Is there science behind Sound Baths?

Sound healing and therapy have existed since ancient times. In ancient Greece music was used to treat mental illness. The Australian Aboriginal people, for 40,000 years, used the didgeridoo for sound healing, and in Tibet the singing bowls have been part of spiritual ceremonies for many many years.

The connection between sound and healing was chronicled in 1896 when American physicians discovered that certain types of music improved thought processes and spurred blood flow. This paved the way for creating new therapies with sound and treating a variety of illnesses. Sound therapy has evolved and morphed into many forms of healing that we see today but the fact the sound helps one heal still remains true.

What do the experts say?

Marlynn Wei, M.D., J.D., a board-certified Harvard and Yale trained psychiatrist and therapist, suggests that sound healing has ancient roots in cultures all over the world. Sound healing is a form of focused awareness. The frequency at which sound bowls resonate through the body allows for higher levels of inner peace and relaxation. - Psychology Today

“It also has a particular effect on the brain because music or sound healing has a particular vibration,” the professor-in-residence in UCLA’s department of psychiatry. “It’s just one practice, a very ancient practice, that can be part of the portfolio of tools that leads to stress reduction." on the TODAY show

“Sound healing helps the body do what it does best by realigning on a cellular level to heal itself,” explains Spaulding, a registered nurse and a master sound healer. “It’s a scientific fact that everything in the universe is vibrating and everything has its own resonant frequency. When those resonant frequencies get misaligned, that’s when disease or illness happens.” - Stewart Magazine
