So here is why you should come and join us at the next Gong Sound Bath (Tuesday 15 March)
Here’s the science:
Sound healing is nothing new; it can be traced back to many ancient civilizations as much as 3,500 years ago, with each culture having its own variation and instruments. But modern-day science is catching up with the concept that sound can be a healing practice.
Before the nuclear age, the common perception was that everything was made up of matter. Then, scientists split the atom and discovered that this isn’t the case; everything in the Universe is made up of energy, vibrating at different frequencies. Similarly, even things that appear ‘solid’ are oscillating at the molecular level. This includes you.
Now, think of your biological frequency like a radio station: when it’s at its optimal vibration, the signal is clear. When it oscillates at an abnormal rate – be it irregular, too fast or too slow – it disrupts the transmission, and there is white noise. In human terms, this white noise can be emotional, physical or mental imbalances.
Still with me? Good ☺
How do you fix a frequency that is out of alignment?
Well, when there is the introduction of parallel frequency that carries the same optimal vibration, it corrects the other vibration.
For example, if something has an optimal frequency of 7.8hertz (Hz), but for whatever is transmitting at 152 Hz. Exposing the thing to a transmitter with a rate of 7.8 Hz will realign it back to its ideal vibration, until both are oscillating at 7.8Hz.
It is the same in a sound bath: the instruments transmit the full spectrum of frequencies. One of the rates will match your own biological vibration and help to correct any fluctuations.
Sound healing also activates the parasympathetic nervous system. This is because the vibrations of sound activate our brainwaves (the communication between neurons within our brains) to move from beta into an alpha state. In layman’s terms, we go from a flight-or-fight mode, as is the case for most of our normal waking state, into a deep sense of relaxation and calm.
So hopefully, now you can see why more and more people are trying Gong Sound Baths.
