Bowls, bells, gongs, drums and an
assortment of ‘Sound Therapy” instruments.
Besides
being beautiful to look at many
of the healing sound items you’ll find here have a history or tradition attached
to them.
You
may find your joy comes from self-discovery and wonder as you make colourful
sounds with each instrument.
Or
you may like to know a little about the history and use in different cultures
and religions..
Either
way this can be the first step of an adventure in sound that can last a
lifetime.
There are
many wonderful Sound Therapy Practitioners who work with one or many sound
producing objects in their practices.
Many offer
one to one sessions and ‘sound baths’.
They are
referred to as ‘gong’ or ‘sound’ baths because they gently “bathe” the listener
in sound waves that resonate with different chakras or parts of your body. It
is believed that sound therapy can reduce stress and release emotional
blockages and they can also promote feelings of deep relaxation.
You can
learn how to work with these sounds in your own practice or simply for the joy
of it.
As you
listen to the healing sounds your brain produces “Alpha brain waves.”
This
frequency range acts as a bridge between your conscious thinking and your
subconscious mind. Giving you access to deeper emotions.
In
other words, alpha is the frequency range between beta the
faster brain waves and theta the slower and deeper states of
consciousness.
