Within the four walls of a spa, music, or say “sound,” is an important element of experience. As a sauna-goer, you are usually presented with a relaxing mix of wellness music, with piano, guitar, singing bowls, pan flute, harp, hand pan and a diverse list of natural sounds as the main “ingredients. We understand that loud drums or fast beats in a tranquil sauna session would not create the desired experience and that (an interplay of) the above instruments and elements are usually perceived as “unstressful,” but that is not all…

In our “world of wellness,” “sound healing” or sound therapy is known as a powerful tool to heal and balance the mind, body and soul. It is ancient practice that uses different sound frequencies (vibrations) to achieve a profound healing effect. This is through various techniques, including the use of voice, singing bowls, gongs, whistles, and even pieces of music composed to specific frequencies. One of the most commonly used tools in sound healing are singing bowls. These bowls, often made of an alloy of different metals, produce rich, resonant tones when struck.

The punch line in the story is that each unique sound frequency is associated with specific chakras or energy centers in the body and thus has a different effect on the body and mind.

For example, the frequency of 432 hz is often associated with healing and harmony, while 528 hz is known as the “miracle tone” and is associated with dna repair and activating the heart chakra. In summary, sound healing can help reduce stress, anxiety and physical pain, improve sleep, increase focus and concentration, and promote a deeper sense of well-being and inner peace. Whether listening to relaxing music, experiencing a sound healing session with a trained therapist, or playing an instrument yourself … the healing power of sound can be a valuable addition to our pursuit of wellness and balance.
