12 Sound Healing Techniques

  • Written by The Times


There are 12 Sound healing techniques that can be effective for relaxation.

  1. Singing Bowls: Metals bowls when struck or rubbed create a resonant sound are known as singing bowls. Sometimes they are used for sound healing to relax and balance the body’s energy.
  2. Tuning Forks: These are metal instruments that vibrate a fixed frequency when struck. In sound healing they are used often to help balance the body’s energy and aid in healing.
  3. Chanting: Repeating a mantra or sacred sound is called chanting. This can be done alone or with another and it is thought to have a calming effect on the mind and body.
  4. Gong Baths: A gong bath involves lying down, so one is bathed in sound waves from a gong. It helps you relax deeply and loosen tension and stress.
  5. Crystal Singing Bowls: Quartz crystal singing bowls are made of quartz crystal and produce a pure tone when struck or rubbed. Used in sound healing, they are often used to promote relaxation, and reduce stress as well as balance the body’s energy.
  6. Shamanic Drumming: Drumming in shamanism is the use of a drum to go into a trance and come into contact with the spiritual world. Sound healing uses it often to promote healing and spiritual growth.
  7. Drumming: Drums have been used for healing purposes in different cultures since centuries. Many believe that drumming synchronizes brainwaves, reduces stress and enters a meditative state.
  8. Chanting and Mantras: These vocal sounds and repetitive chanting of mantras are used to concentrate the mind, uplift spiritual awareness and facilitate deep level healing.
  9. Binaural Beats: Binaural beats are where two slightly different frequencies are played into your ears and the brain perceives a third beat. In fact, these beats can even help induce specific brainwave states, whether it’s relaxation, deep meditation or something else.
  10. Nature Sounds: Listening to sounds of nature; ocean waves, bird songs or flowing rivers can be a calming and grounding to the mind and body.
  11. Sound Baths: A surround sound experience is created with various sound healing instruments being played simultaneously in a sound bath. Participants lie down and enter the healing vibrations.
  12. Music Therapy: Different musical and instrumental elements are applied by professional music therapists to the fulfillment of particular emotional, cognitive or physical needs of individuals.

You can use any combination of these sound healing techniques individually or together to create a unique and personalized healing experience. 

During a singing bowl sound healing session the practitioner will usually place the singing bowl on or near the body of the participant and make sounds by striking or rubbing the bowl. The vibrations are supposed to penetrate the body, relaxing and healing the person.

If you would like to attend a private sound healing session or take training, you can contact Light Castle Soundhealing Studio Brisbane.
