Singing Tibetan Bowls Healing approach is one of the approaches for non – medication based treatment.
The scientific basis of sound therapy lies in the understanding of the brain’s response to auditory stimuli and its potential for inducing relaxation and positive physiological changes. Several key concepts underlie the effectiveness of sound therapy in promoting relaxation and alleviating insomnia.
Through our sleeping therapy treatment , the mechanism of brainwave entrainment, where the brain synchronizes its electrical activity with external auditory stimuli, is pivotal in this process. By introducing specific frequencies, sound therapy aims to guide the brain into patterns associated with deep sleep, notably delta waves, providing a potential remedy for insomnia.
Brainwave entrainment is a process in which the brain synchronizes its electrical activity to an external auditory stimulus. The brain exhibits different types of brainwaves depending on its current state. Such as being awake, asleep, or in deep relaxation.
By introducing an external auditory stimulus with a specific frequency, the brain can be encouraged to match its own frequency. This results in a shift in brainwave patterns. For insomnia treatment , sound therapy aims to induce brainwave patterns associated with deep sleep, such as delta waves.
Different studies have proven how Tibetan singing bowls can quieten the mind chatter and flip the brain into calmness by changing our brain waves.
They can take us into a deep sleep where our senses wind down and cut us off from the outside world. Using these bowls before sleep can also slow down your heartbeat and breathing rate to naturally prepare you for sleep.
An added bonus is you’ll wake up refreshed instead of groggy or frustrated after having a hectic yesterday.
But that’s not all singing bowls can do!
They can also put a stop to sleep problems like nightmares or waking in the middle of the night by leading your brain into the sleep wave state.
Incorporating sound therapy into your daily routine can be an effective approach to managing insomnia, can help with stress , anxiety, overthinking and even pain . That’s why it’s often used in detox centers to rehabilitate patients dealing with all sorts of problems.
