Singing bowl therapy and its effects on the body

Singing Bowl Therapy

In various cultures around the world, sounds have been used for centuries for deep meditation and to promote mental well-being. In Nepal, for example, Tibetan singing bowls are used for meditative and medical purposes.

How it works

For the singing bowl treatment, I use singing bowls and other sound instruments. 

At the beginning, we briefly discuss how you are feeling and what you expect from the massage.

Then you lie down fully clothed on the pre-warmed massage table. For 60 minutes, singing bowls are gently placed on your body and played, allowing you to relax deeply.

At the end, you have time to absorb the effects, and we conclude the session with a brief conversation and a drink.


Sound waves

Scientific studies have shown that sounds have a direct effect on the human body. They are measurable through electromagnetic brain waves. These sound waves, measured in Hertz (Hz), vary between 0.5 and 20 Hz.
  •  Beta waves (14-20 Hz) occur in the normal waking state, when our attention is directed at the outside world
  •  Alpha waves (8-13 Hz) are associated with daydreaming and meditation and intensify with closed eyes
  •  Theta waves (4-8 Hz) occur in deep meditative states and during deep relaxation. These theta states are particularly conducive to self-healing
  •  Delta waves (0.5-4 Hz) appear during deep sleep and unconsciousness

Effects of brain waves

The effects of brain waves in the alpha to theta range are impressive:
  •  Improved mental clarity and concentration
  •  Relief of stress and anxiety
  •  Synchronisation of the right and left brain hemispheres
  •  Pain relief
  •  Release of endorphins and happiness hormones
  •  Deep physical relaxation
  •  Immersion into expanded levels of consciousness

Positive effects

In addition, sound therapy and singing bowl treatments have many positive effects on the physical, mental, emotional and energetic state of the body, including:

  •  Deep relaxation and muscle regeneration
  •  Improved blood circulation and digestion
  •  Strengthening of the immune system and increased vitality
  •  Activation of the parasympathetic nervous system
  •  Improved energy flow
  •  Release of emotional and mental blockages
  •  Increased self-esteem and creativity
  •  Cleansing and balancing of energy centres
  •  Becoming one with yourself

How it works

The Tibetan singing bowls, crafted from seven different metals corresponding to the planets of our universe, are particularly effective. When these bowls are placed on your body, you yourself become a resonating body. Everyone hears and feels the sounds and vibrations in their own unique way. The sound vibrations penetrate hardening and tension throughout the body, create gentle vibrations and establish a harmonious structure. They thus enable comprehensive healing.
