In the Vedas it is said, antar bahiś ca tat sarvaṁ vyāya Narayana sthitaḥ: "Narayana is all-pervading, and He exists both within and without." Antar meaning within. There are many things which are beyond the perception of our imperfect senses, yet the authoritative evidence of sound vibration is perfect. The Vedas are known as śabda-brahma because evidence taken from the Vedas constitutes the ultimate understanding. This is because śabda-brahma, or the Vedas, represents the Supreme Personality of Godhead. However, the real essence of śabda-brahma is the chanting of the Hare Kṛiṣhṇa mantra. By vibrating this transcendental sound, the meaning of everything, both material and spiritual, is revealed. The meaning of everything is received through the air through sound vibration. The vibration may be material or spiritual, but without sound vibration no one can understand the meaning of anything. (Vaniquotes)
What is Sound Healing?
Sound Healing is a powerful therapy that combines different healing sounds, music, and sound healing instruments to improve our multidimensional well-being by creating a beautiful experience where all layers of our luminous energy field (body, mind, soul, spirit) are awakened gently and lovingly. (Academy of Sound Healing, UK)
Sound has been used to heal in many cultures for thousands of years. Sound healing is based on the idea that like all matter, us humans also vibrate to different frequencies. We are made up of different energies, such as the chakra system which connect us to the physical world around us and keep our actions in balance. However, often our energy becomes imbalanced and our chakras are blocked because of internal and external circumstances causing pain, illness and distress. Years of research has revealed that sound vibrations can effect our mind and body at a cellular level to heal some of these chakra imbalances and blockages and restore balance and health. The healing power of sound using crystal singing bowls is synchronized through sound 'baths' or vibrational treatments that stimulate the body and mind to feel relaxed and heal naturally.
Some of the potential benefits of sound healing are the following:
Reduce anxiety and bring relaxation
Increase clarity and focus
Relieve pain
Stimulate circulation
Improve sleep
Connect to inner spirit and deepen meditation
