Exploring the Healing Benefits of Crystal & Himalayan Singing Bowls

Vibrational Sound Healing


Vibrational sound healing can be traced back from present day trends to many ancient civilizations including Tribal cultures in India, Africa, Europe, & the Orient. In addition, each culture had unique approaches, beliefs & methods specific to their region. Bells, chimes, bowls, gongs, drums and vocal toning, chants & repetitive vibrations are only a few of the many vibrational sound tools that can be used for healing. Ancient Egyptians chanted vowels in specific keys to clear & restore balance to the chakra system. Atlanteans combined sound with crystals to enhance healing. Healers today may use a combination of techniques to assist their clients.

Everything in Our Universe Is Made Purely of Vibrations

Everything in our Universe is made purely of energy vibrations. Everything is vibration, and resonates with its own unique frequency. Ancient religions and modern sciences now agree that our 'Reality' is simply an entity of living, resonating energy, and all matter (such as a human being) is simply interpenetrating waves of energy which have densified into crystalline form and structure. This primordial life force energy is called by many names in different cultures – AUM (OM), Prana, Chi, Ki, Mana, Baraka, Spirit, or Quantum Energy. Most importantly, Crystal Bowls & sound frequencies work directly with this universal energy, affecting the human body by way of entrainment, bringing the body and mind back into balance and impacting our entire being! Through this balancing flow of life-force energy, we remember our connection, with ourselves, with our Higher Source, therefore allowing us access to heal, creating space and the equilibrium needed to tap into the unlimited healing energy from within.

 

Vibrational Sound Touches our Bodies on a Molecular & Crystalline Level

The body is a network of vibrational fields and energy currents. Each individual resonates at his or her own

vibration. Sound is an acoustical wave, while colour is an electromagnetic wave. The colours of the rainbow

correspond to a specific musical note. This relates in the same way that each chakra of the body correlates with a specific tone and colour.

Though its important to note, even though there is a tone and colour that corresponds to each of the chakra's, each Crystal or Himalayan bowl and their tone will affect the whole body. You may feel the effects in one section of your body more deeply, but the vibrational sound will also travel throughout your entire energy field. It tends to focus mainly on the areas that are most out of balance first.

The human body and the entire earth are made up of energy, vibrating at different frequencies. When out of rhythm, disease and disharmony result. Vibrational sound healing addresses these imbalances or blockages of the energy channels. And just like a radio or Wi-Fi can tune into certain sound waves & frequencies, our body is the same.

Crystal Bowl Notes are Tuned to Specific Frequencies Found Within The Human Body

When the sound moves through the atmosphere and touches us, it causes our cells to move in different directions at a different speed, in rhythm with the sound wave. This puts us in harmony with the sound wave. The sound penetrates into our very cells and rebalances them through oscillation and resonance. Hearing is not a prerequisite for benefiting from these healing properties. As a result, studies have shown that sound has a direct impact on the mental processes, muscles, nervous system, (heartbeat, pulse) digestive system and circulatory system. Alignment with the tones of Crystal Bowls is one of the most dynamic forms of sound healing found today.

 

Using Sound to Heal

Dr. Mitchell Gaynor, director of Medical Oncology and Integrative Medicine at the Cornell Cancer Prevention Centre in NY has been using sound with cancer patients. Including Tibetan Bowls, Crystal Bowls and chanting.

 

“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.

It does this on the emotional & spiritual planes. Sound frequencies can redress imbalances on every level of physiologic functioning. Therefore, it plays a positive role in the treatment of virtually any medical disorder.”

His research shows that the sound vibration of the bowls affects the dysrhythmic motion found in cancer cells, causing a harmonious transformation. Research by Dr. David Simon, medical director of neurological services at Sharp Cabrillo Hospital in San Diego, also found that chants are chemically metabolized into ‘endogenous opiates.’ They act on the body as internal painkillers & healing agents.


Crystal Bowl Therapy Helps to Balance the Chakra System


Crystal bowl therapy helps to balance the chakra system and re-energize the auric field. Healing is thus made possible on all levels. 


Each individual is unique as to which energy fields require balancing. You may find yourself drawn to different tones each time  you experience them.


Energy work practitioners find that sessions with clients are dramatically more effective with the use of Crystal Sound therapy. Clients immediately go into a state of full receptivity and relaxation.

This allows the practitioner to go deeper and more easily reach underlying issues.


In Conclusion


Sound impacts us in powerful yet subtle ways, from just listening to music or more significantly with the intention of healing, it calms our nervous systems, recalibrates our body, mind and heart, bringing us into a state of alignment & homeostasis that inspires greater clarity, creativity, and potentially greater healing environments within the body.


It guides us naturally, with gentle and effortless attention into meditation, naturally rewiring our brain waves into Alpha and then Theta which is that dream like state just before deep sleep. Consciousness of the body slips away and as it rests and often even sleeps, our awareness drifts naturally in and out of consciousness as we are guided by voice and sound into states of bliss. Your whole system will feel like its had a reset, you will feel balanced, clearer of mind, tension released, and more inspired to step back into what feels good in life once more. Everything will feel more cohesive, more aligned, more relaxed.
