How Does Sound Healing Work? The Science Behind It
Sound healing uses the body’s natural sensitivity to vibration to promote relaxation, clear blockages, and restore balance. Let’s break down how it works on multiple levels:
1) Resonance and Frequency Alignment
Every organ and system in the body vibrates at its own frequency. When exposed to external sounds—like the deep hum of a gong or the shimmering tones of a crystal bowl, your body “absorbs” those frequencies and begins to mirror them. Resonanceis the principle: just as one tuning fork can cause another to vibrate, sound can help the body reset into harmony. For instance, research shows that frequencies between 40–150 Hz stimulate the Vagus Nerve, a key regulator of stress, digestion, and emotional balance. By toning this nerve, sound can reduce anxiety and even strengthen immune functioning.
