The Science of Sound
Sound is more than music — it’s medicine. And while sound healing may feel mystical, there’s a growing body of science that supports its effects on the body and mind.
When you experience a sound bath or a tuning fork session, your brain naturally shifts into a slower rhythm. This process, called brainwave entrainment, helps move you from busy beta waves into alpha and theta — the frequencies of calm, creativity, and deep relaxation.
These frequencies don't just affect your mind — they regulate your body too. Sound stimulates the vagus nerve, which plays a vital role in controlling your stress response. With regular sound healing, your body begins to stay in its parasympathetic state longer, meaning improved digestion, better sleep, and enhanced immune function.
What’s even more fascinating is that sound therapy works without needing words. You don’t have to understand it cognitively — your body just responds. Whether it’s crystal singing bowls, a deep gong vibration, or even your own voice through toning, the healing power of sound frequency taps into something primal and profound.
