Vibrational sound therapy is based on the principle of sympathetic resonance, which is the term for when a vibrating object, placed next to another vibrating object, causes them to vibrate together – with the lower vibration compelled to rise and match the higher vibration.
“The body is made up of sound. The presence of disease indicates that some sounds have gone out of tune.”- Deepak Chopra

A Vibrational sound session can retune your body, mind and spirit, encouraging relaxation, transformational healing and wellness. This one-on-one service is done while laying on a table while fully-clothed. It uses therapeutic singing bowls placed on body, tuning forks and buffalo drum to create a combination of tones and vibrations that produce a state of tranquility and act as a massage for the nervous system. It is very effective to clear out stuck energy or tension which may have been deeply-held in the body for years or decades.
A Vibrational Sound session is a very effective form of alternative healing because it works directly on the body's energy field and chakras as well as the body itself. When the energy body is healthy and balanced, its own natural healing abilities are enhanced.
All emotions, thoughts and feelings carry a specific energy vibration. In effect, we are our own unique sound system. Where the vibrational frequency is low the natural frequency and harmonious pattern is disrupted. This can manifest into illness or disease unless the vibrational template is changed on a physical, mental, emotional or spiritual level.
Sound changes your internal vibration, helping you return to resonating at the authentic frequency for you.
What is vibrational sound therapy?
Vibrational sound therapy is a therapeutic technique that uses sounds and frequencies to enhance a person’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It involves the use of different tools and instruments (i.e. singing bowls) to unblock chakras and promote a healthy flow of energy. Vibrational sound healing works at the cellular level, activating the body’s natural healing powers and inducing a meditative state.
Research has shown that sound healing can treat a variety of mental and physical issues, including addiction, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, chronic pain, and more. It is also known to increase mental focus, boost immunity, and elevate people’s auras.
Himalayan singing bowls are most often used to perform vibrational sound therapy. However, there are many other tools and methods out there, including tuning forks, shamanic drums, bells, chimes, drums and gongs. Even humming and singing can have a profound effect on the body.
How does sound vibration therapy work? To fully understand how vibrational sound therapy works, we must first understand the Law of Vibration. Basically, this states that everything in the universe is in a perpetual state of movement. Not only do sounds have vibrations, but so do humans, tables, chairs, and any other thing for that matter. Every word and thought also has its own vibration, so it’s important to be mindful of how we use them in our daily lives.
The following quote shows how sounds and vibrations work at a basic level:
“If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes. Sound can redress imbalances on every level of physiologic functioning and can play a positive role in the treatment of virtually any medical disorder.” — Dr. Mitchell Gaynor
From the moment we were in the womb, we have all been affected by sound and vibration. Whether it’s the euphoria we feel when listening to our favorite song or feelings of calm when hearing rainfall, we all are influenced by the power of sound and vibration. They can either nourish us or hurt us. By understanding their powerful effects on the mind and body, we can learn how to apply them for our greatest good.
The science behind the vibrations of soundVibrational sound therapy isn’t just a fringe concept practiced by those outside of the mainstream. It’s also accepted by modern Western medicine. All you have to do is look at an MRI machine – which uses sound and vibration to produce detailed images inside the human body – to know that this method works. Watch someone undergo an MRI, and you’ll see different parts of the brain light up when listening to different sounds. It’s no wonder, then, that sounds can elicit emotional states.
Through Quantum Physics, scientists have proved that everything has a vibration. After all, everything you can see and feel is made up of atoms, which are 99.9999% energy and 0.00001% matter. So, instead of focusing on our physical nature (<1%), we ought to focus on the energetic field of information within us (>99%).
Now that we can grasp vibrations at a fundamental level, let’s next look at vibrational sound healing.
History of sound healingSound therapy has been practiced by humans for tens of thousands of years (if not, longer). The earliest known records of sonic healing rituals date back 40,000 years to when Australian Aboriginal peoples used didgeridoos. Vibrational sound therapy was also widely used to treat mental disorders in Ancient Greece. Perhaps the best example of all was the use of sound chambers in the pyramids of Ancient Egypt. Beyond the above examples, vibration sound therapy has been used in many other contexts throughout history. Music, for example, has often been used to boost morale amongst military troops, while chanting and other ritualistic sound ceremonies have been used to fight off evil spirits. Vibrational healing is truly a timeless tool.
Why is vibrational sound healing popular today? Though sound vibration therapy has been around a long time, it’s experiencing a resurgence today due to all the social and political issues of our time. From the COVID-19 pandemic to culture wars and geopolitical issues, there’s a lot of uncertainty hanging over people’s heads. This has led to a public mental health crisis affecting millions (if not billions). Rather than taking a pill for every ill, more people are turning to vibrational sound healing and related modalities as an attractive alternative.
In 2022, large segments of the population have rejected modern medicine for ancient remedies that have stood the test of time. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs and supplements, which only work while you’re taking it, vibration healing therapy is a solution that can transform your energy in the long term. Much of the contents found in vitamins, for example, are lost in the digestive tract and need to be taken daily to realize their effects. Vibration, on the other hand, can access the body’s cells and connective tissues directly, bypassing these barriers. Sound healing is also non-invasive, providing a natural way to treat pain and illness.
Benefits of vibrational sound therapy
The benefits of vibrational sound therapy are endless. Beyond it being super relaxing and rejuvenating, here’s are some top sound healing benefits you should know about:
What are the 4 pillars of sound healing? It's about time to dive down the rabbit hold of what principles lay behind sound healing.....shall we? There are four main concepts to understand - harmonics, cymatics, entrainment, and binaural beats.
What does vibrational sound therapy do to the brain? Often the process of firing off a message also creates new inter-neuronal connections called dendrites or axons. This means that using Sound Therapy may build new brain connections, increasing the neural network. This is exactly what is needed to recover from a stroke or brain damage.
How to prepare for a vibrational sound session? Loose, non-restrictive clothing is always a good choice, or perhaps comfortable athletic attire. These sessions are completed while you are clothed lying on a table or padded mat. Avoid eating a heavy meal within an hour prior to the session.
How often should you do a vibrational sound session or sound bath? Generally, 1-2 sessions per month are recommended. However, if you are experiencing emotional, physical or mental challenges that need to be addressed, then weekly sessions are better. In a physical, emotional or spiritual crisis, you may wish to come in once or twice per week would be best. Once the initial concerns are addressed, you may come once per month or every other month for a tune-up or preventative care that helps keep the body in harmony. Also, if you are just starting out, then go for 4 sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart. Of course, you can come as often as you would like and will receive a lot of benefits.
What to do before a vibrational sound session or sound bath: Preparing your mind and body for your sound healing experience is always a good idea. Therefore, before attending a sound bath, you may set an intention for the session. Be clear in your mind about what you would like the outcome to be and use positive language as you form this intention in your mind.
What to do after a vibrational sound session or sound bath: Afterward it is important to drink plenty of water and remain relaxed. Many people have noted feeling as though they are in a dream-like state for a day or two and some have reported vivid dreams for several nights afterward. This is very normal. After a sound session, most people have a feeling of peace, harmony and well-being; they feel present, centered and in-tune.
Can a vibrational sound session make you cry? Many people find that they may cry during a sound bath or vibrational sound session, which is often seen a sign that the body is releasing deep-seated emotions and toxins. The experience of crying in a sound bath or vibrational sound session can be incredibly cathartic and healing for the individual.
Why am I tired after a vibrational sound session or sound bath? Let the cleansing and healing vibes take over your body. You may feel tired, which is normal considering that a lot of energy was released and mended through this holistic activity. Be aware of yourself. Feel how your body has shifted.
Are you supposed to fall asleep during a vibrational sound session or sound bath? You might fall asleep. That's ok. You can feel very relaxed. The session still works even if you sleep the whole way through.
What happens during a Vibrational Sound Session?
Vibrational Sound session has profound effects on the body and mind. This method is above all a method of relaxation, and most people will reach this state of relaxation quickly - even during their first session. During a vibrational sound session the body will go through noticeable changes as it responds to deeper and deeper states of rest and release of long held tension and energy. Relaxation is not only a physical state but also a state of consciousness, and vibrational sound has very strong effects on alertness and perception. Relaxation during a vibrational sound session brings on the same kind of brain states as yoga, tai chi, and meditation.
Most clients will start to relax as soon as the session begins. Their muscles will lose tension, and they may even start to slip into the alpha brain wave pattern within the first minutes. The alpha wave pattern is associated with daydreaming and pre-sleep. At this point the client's breathing and heart rate will start to slow down, and the body will begin to absorb the waves of vibration into its tissues. The slowing of breathing and lack of muscle tension are both signs that the metabolism is slowing. Insulin levels will rise, and cortisol levels will fall. As the heart rate slows, blood pressure falls and arteries expand giving rise to a feeling of warmth. This relaxed state allows the body to repair itself instead of responding to outside concerns. The immune system is at its best when we are relaxed.
Some parts of the vibrational sound session is so gentle and relaxing that almost all people will fall asleep at some point during the session. The theta brain wave state is associated with meditation, sleep, and deep relaxation. The delta brain state is a deeper form of sleep and is also associated with hypnosis and ritual. During normal sleep, people will oscillate between both of these states. The brain wave state of clients undergoing a "sound massage" will change naturally and in reaction to the modality as positions are changed and different bowls are introduced. Small tremors and shakes are common as people enter and exit the theta and delta brain rhythms.
Those who undergo a state of deep relaxation often report a feeling of mental freshness that they carry with them after the session is over. Relaxation and meditative states of mind have also been shown to increase the threshold for emotional response, meaning they can help us control our emotional responses to outside influences. Like other kinds of meditation, sound therapy can help us be more internally aware while being more present in the moment and more connected with our surroundings.
