History Of Sound Healing 🎵 Spiritual Hygiene Series

Using sound and vibration is one of the oldest healing modalities and was used thousands of years ago in the Aboriginal, Greek and Egyptian cultures.

The Aboriginal peoples in Australia were among the first cultures known to heal with the sound more than 40,000 years ago. The ancient Egyptians used vowel sound chants in healing, as they believed vowels were sacred. The Greeks used similar healing chants and a variety of musical instruments in their sanatoriums. Tibetan monks have used singing bowls, whose vibrations have been described as “the sound of the universe manifesting”, for thousands of years. It is interesting to note that most creation stories started with the introduction of sound, including Vedic texts and the Bible.

Over the past 15 years or so there has been a resurgence of interest in the power of sound and vibrational healing. Interest in sound therapy and sound baths has been growing steadily during this time as more and more people, western medics included, are re-discovering its potential.

WHY ARE CRYSTAL BOWLS SO POWERFUL?

While Tibetan bowls are absolutely wonderful, their sound doesn’t penetrate our bodies in the same way. On the other hand, our body is primed to receive the sound that crystal bowls make because we are a crystal ourselves so we can resonate with the bowl. Our body is mostly water which has a crystalline structure and this is what creates entrainment between sound and the body.
