Sound healing uses vibrations (vocal or instrumental-like gongs, Tibetan singing bowls, and tuning forks) in order to relax the body, mind, and soul. Some proponents also believe it can relieve certain ailments including pain, anxiety, depression, or insomnia. Sound therapy is a clinical and evidence-based therapy used for dealing with mental health issues, such as anxiety, pain, and sleep disorders. These issues are usually caused by high levels of tension and stress. Sound healing brings one to a relaxed state with sounds created by singing bowls, tuning forks, and other resonant musical instruments, including the human voice. Recent research suggests that counseling sessions can be a catalyst for emotional healing used in combination with other modalities such as meditation, deep breathing, and visualization.
