While music is an extremely popular medium to alleviate stress levels, sound bath therapy is another healing practice that has been found to be helpful in dealing with the tremors related to stress and anxiety and negate the side effects of other health conditions as well.
How does sound therapy work?
Sound bath therapy works as a form of guided imagery or meditation by engaging your senses on the core levels, soothing and calming down the nerves and the tremors holistically. Just like at times taking a bath can be very therapeutic, sound bath classes use meditative notes and musical mediums to bring holistic and restorative benefits for the mind and body. This form of therapy is now getting incredibly popular as a wellness fad. However, the benefits of the same extend beyond the trend. It can prove to be immensely helpful in fighting stress from the root.
When you enter a sound bath, there are no specific rules to be followed. A regular session will have the person sit down comfortably (or lie down, with rested eyes) and focus on the sounds and frequencies emitted in the room. Sometimes, instruments like forks, gongs, crystal bowls, and chimes are brought into use to introduce soothing sounds in the room. Some healers also like to use their own voice as a guided meditation medium.
Sound baths work by engaging the sensory notes in the body. With the additional use of music emitting bowls, gongs, and other instruments, the vibrations created bring around balance, calmness and a sense of relaxation around you. This also helps promote a healing environment. It pushes the body into a meditative state and clears away the bad toxins, just like meditation promises. It is a good practice for both beginners as well as experienced meditators. Not just that, sound meditation also clears away the stress tremors which might be compromising the other triggers affecting the quality of your sleep, memory or digestion and cut the risk of catching chronic health infections. It can also slow down your heart and respiratory rate, creating a therapeutic balance in your body.
In fact, it can be an extremely helpful way to detox your body of the toxins and create a sort of relaxation both physically and mentally. Another benefit of the medium can be good to reset the nervous system, boost immunity and make you better equipped to deal with the pain tremors, which again, can get compromised during times of stress and tension.
Hence, an alternative form of healing like this is often suggested by experts alongside a traditional form of medicine to deal with chronic illnesses, trauma.
