BENEFITS
Nutrition for your Brain & Nervous System
BRAIN
Brain waves and sound waves are both frequencies measured as hertz. The human brain has the ability to change its EEG frequency towards the frequency of a dominant external stimulus (such as sound). For example, certain workout songs can help you exercise harder. When the brain is focusing on something like breathing, the electrical patterns of your brain can slow and relax to the amplitude of the alpha and theta waveforms. Through the concept of entrainment, brainwave frequencies can sync with these specific frequencies created in a sound bath, to transport participants into the alpha and theta brain state. These waveforms are the relaxed state that are needed for meditation to take effect and promote healing.
NERVOUS SYSTEM
Data has shown that sound waves have an effect on the human nervous system, more so than traditional meditation. Sound can lead to decreased heart rate and pulse, lower blood pressure, and deeper breathing, which has also been linked to longevity. The body is comprised of 60% water. This allows the sound vibrations to help move emotion, allowing you to purge sadness, grief, and anger, as well as physical pain. Together, these calming effects can boost your immune system, leading to improved heath long after the sound bath is over.
CHAKRA ALIGNMENT
Crystal singing bowls help align and balance the chakra energy systems. A “mallet” is run around the outside of crystal quartz bowls, each producing different notes and pitches, corresponding to one of the seven chakras.
Chakras are concentrated energy centers located along the midline of the body, each corresponding to a different life function. When these are “aligned” and functioning correctly, we are at an optimal level of balance and wellbeing.
