Take a deep breath!

Sound is a manifestation of breath, and breath is the most fundamental aspect of life. Breathing is much more than a mechanical reflex for oxygen intake; it is the basis for all our cellular functions, our energetic well-being, even our emotional health.  I have come to realize that sound is both a manifestation of breath and a means to revitalize it, with far reaching positive consequences for people’s well-being and recovery.

Breathing holds a prime importance in yoga. Yoga is a 3000 years old discipline whose goal is to create a sense of harmony with the universe by integrating the mind, body and spirit.  The word yoga means ‘union’ and its three part practise of posture, breath work and meditation is designed to take us beyond transitory concerns and pleasures ego to discovery and awareness of oneself. Pranayama is the Vedic science of controlling the breath in order to direct Prana (Life force) and thereby balance both body and mind. There is a huge difference in between shallow chest breathing- the result of years of conditioning, stress, trauma, and poor habits, and deep abdominal breathing, the kind taught and practised in yogic traditions.

In shallow breathing, the diaphragm does not move downward sufficiently, so that the lungs never fully expand into the abdomen.  As a result, the lower portion of the lungs, which are filled with small blood vessels that carry oxygen to our cells, hardly receive oxygen. In an effort to compensate for this inadequate oxygen intake, our heart rate and blood pressure increases, as our cardiovascular system works overtime. By contrast, in deep abdominal breathing allows ample room for the bottom portion the lungs fill up with oxygen. The result is more than adequate oxygen exchange.

Shallow breathing is also evidence that the body is a permanent state of ‘fight or flight’- the stress response to external danger or anxiety provoking events. During fight or flight, which is a natural mind-body reaction to stress, the sympathetic nervous system goes into overdrive; our adrenal gland pump out stress hormones such as adrenaline; the musculoskeletal system goes out into a stiff state of preparedness; heart rate and blood pressure becomes elevated.

When we are continually stressed out, our mind and body become frozen in  a chronic state of fight or flight; we consistently react as if we are surrounded by a pack of wild animals, an evolutionary legacy of our prehistoric ancestors. The shallow breathing that results causes a particular vicious cycle because the body reacts as if it is oxygen starved, which to a certain extent is the case. The body’s response to oxygen deprivation which is to pump even more stress hormones, only adds to our anxiety, and the cycle is continued. This catapults the rest of our physiological systems out of balance, including other hormones, neurotransmitters, neuropeptides and the immune cells and substances they help to regulate.

The link between breathing and good health is more than just theoretical: studies have directly associated respiratory capacity with longevity. On the negative side, the famous Framingham health study found that lower respiratory capacity is directly associated with higher death rates from heart diseases. Moreover, a 13 years long study conducted in Australia demonstrated the respiratory capacity was a more significant factor than tobacco use, cholesterol level, and insulin metabolism in determining people’s longevity. The oxygen link extends to cancer as well; Nobel prize winner Otto Warburg published landmark studies in the 1960s showing that cancer cells thrive in an environment starved of oxygen.

Singing bowls prove to be an excellent tool which sends a person into a meditative state and proving the body to breathe in deeply to the full capacity of the lungs. Through the mechanism of entertainment of brain and cells with the use of singing bowls, to open and deepen the breath and restore our body to a state of harmony, reunite our spirit with our essence.

Easy Recovery from Past Traumas

Past traumas can wreak havoc on the physical and psychological well-being of a person. Some of the aftermaths of past traumas could be memories that are disturbing, frequent nightmares, panic attacks, a constant low-grade anxiety, inability to trust others, not feeling any emotions intensely, etc. Some of the different ways that past traumas are treated include counselling, psychotherapy, regular physical exercise, meditation, mindfulness, eating a well-balanced diet, relaxation techniques, deep breathing exercises, yoga, as well as getting a restful sleep at night.

Traumas can be caused due to a variety of reasons, such as a natural disaster, accidents, a violent attack such as a mugging, rape, burglary at home, etc. It can also be caused by chronic stress from a life-threatening illness, living in a crime-infested place and being bombarded with threats every day. Traumas can also be caused in the aftermath of surgeries, especially for very young children. It can also happen due to the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or any other experience that has been very traumatic to the individual.

Significance of Sound Healing

One of the most effective ways to treat past traumas are through sound healing. Sound works on both emotional as well as the Physical body of a person. There are special bowls of specific frequency vibrations designed to work directly on the emotional body of a person. These bowls remove all the blockages in a person's emotions, helping him to recover from any past trauma he or she has. The aim of the healer is take the trauma away from its roots to help the person move on with his or her life. Sound healing works on the principle that everything in the universe reverberates to a certain frequency. When this frequency is in balance, there is health and vice versa. By tuning a person to a certain frequency, past traumas can be healed. This helps to bring the individual back to balance by removing all traces of past traumas from the system.

SOUND HEALING THERAPY FOR STRESS REDUCTION

Stress affects people of all ages and from all walks of life. Whether the person is retired or a professional, a homemaker or a student, a child or an elderly person, there is always stress in life caused by something or the other. Stress can cause a whole host of other problems on the physical and psychological levels, ranging from insomnia, panic attacks, trouble concentrating or remembering things, to chronic fatigue, aches and pains, and can even be the underlying cause of many illnesses. A person under stress is also likely to cause stress to those around him, which leads to a domino effect. This is why it is so important to start stress reduction techniques immediately.
 

The conventional ways for stress reduction has been by physical exercise, a nutritious and well-balanced diet, yoga, meditation, art therapy, psychotherapy, counseling, and even medication. However, there is a one modality that is safe and very effective in reducing stress. This is sound healing.

Effect of Sound Healing Therapy

Sound healing therapy is very beneficial for stress reduction. People know how impactful music can be on their moods, such as feeling sad after listening to a sad song and feeling happy after listening to an upbeat song. Sound healing therapy works on the principle that everything in the universe has a unique frequency. When this frequency is maintained, there is harmony in the being. When there is a dissonance in the frequency, stress and illness happens.

 

Sound healing therapy brings the individual frequency back into harmony through the use of music, chanting, toning, singing bowls, tuning forks, etc., and has been shown to be remarkably effective.
