Sound therapy uses the principles of resonance, entrainment, and vibration to effect changes in tissues and organs. When something vibrates it creates a soundwave, which spreads out to all molecules around it. Gently rubbing a quartz crystal bowl with a playing stick causes the bowl to vibrate and the pure sound and tone created penetrates and is disseminated throughout the body by numerous nerves and by bone conduction to the extent that the music can be felt as well as heard. Quartz crystal bowls create very high frequency overtones that can help relax you while energizing your brain; people often describe feeling totally relaxed yet fully energized. It’s the resonance of the sounds (the frequency of vibration) of these bowls that your body begins to resonate with, in order to change or uplift its vibration. This is where natural healing begins.
