What are the benefits of standing in a singing bowl?
Reflex zone massage of the feet harmonises the whole body
Foot singing bowls are very large singing bowls into which one stands and which are struck while standing. These bowls generate an enormous vibrational force, the resonances of which spread via the foot reflex zones to all body areas and organs connected to them.

Those who step into such a bowl for the first time are impressed by how the vibrations spread through the body from the feet upwards and a relaxing feeling of well-being is created.

In addition to relaxation, people say singing bowl sound therapy can help:
* lessen chronic pain.
* improve sleep.
* reduce anger.
* improve blood pressure.
* improve respiratory rate.
* reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
* improve symptoms of some neurological disorders such as fibromyalgia and Parkinson's disease.

📖 The Benefits of Gong Baths, Sound Baths, & Sound Healing
If you've ever been to a sound bath, you'll know that it makes you feel really good in almost inexplicable ways. Sound and vibration can work wonders to melt away tension and leave you feeling supremely relaxed, calm and renewed. But if you're reading this, then you might never have experienced a sound bath for yourself. Or maybe you have, but you want to know what will happen if you keep going back.
So let me break down some the most common potential benefits of gong baths, sound baths, and sound healing:
☯️Reduced stress
☯️Relief from anxiety
☯️Better sleep (this is one of the most cited benefits!)
☯️Released emotional blockages
☯️Better mood
☯️Improved focus
☯️Mental clarity
☯️Creative insights
☯️Profound physical restoration
☯️Experience of deep peace
Additional benefits are plentiful. At the physiological level, heart rate and respiration rate slow down and come into balance during a sound bath as the parasympathetic nervous system is activated, and some studies have even shown that nitric oxide (which regulates physiological processes related to good health) in the blood increases. When you are in an optimal state of physical and mental health, all of the systems in
your body are working in harmony. Sound can be an effective way to reprogramme your own vibrations to a more optimal state. At the mental level for example, the drone like sounds from a gong can entrain your brainwaves to a lower state (the alpha and theta states) where healing and restoration can occur. If your mind is always in overdrive (when the mind is predominantly in the beta brainwave state), you will likely feel stressed and overwhelmed.
If you can spend more time in a relaxed mental state, that has an overall calming effect on mind and body. And vice versa - when the body can enter a deep state of rest, that also helps the mind relax. When you are in a relaxed state, there is a greater chance for harmony and health.

12 Health Benefits of Charka Tuning Forks for Your Body
✨🩵
Tuning forks aren't new to the world. They’re commonly used to tune musical instruments but in the 20th century it was discovered they could positively affect our bodies and they became a part of alternative holistic healing.

The increase in energy flow created by using the tuning forks improves circulation and removes blocked energy in the body. The removal of the blocks help to …
* Increase blood flow and because your cells can work better together, it can have a positive effect on blood pressure
* The vibrations calm you down so inflammation in the body is lowered, as Shape magazine They also report that the vibrations relax your muscles, while also controlling your blood glucose levels and the body’s release of hormones.
* The vibrations can also lower heart rate and brain wave patterns, lowering stress and tension.
* Some practitioners have used tuning forks as an alternative treatment for conditions such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and sleep disorders.
* They can also help to relieve pain. Some studies have suggested that tuning forks can relieve bone and muscle pain, as reported by Senses & Sciences.
* Balance the nervous system, enhances relaxation, stimulates chi, brings tranquility, and inspires calm.

A NON-INVASIVE HEALING METHOD
After striking a tuning fork, a tone is produced. By slowly moving the tuning fork over someone’s aura or space around them, it can offer healing properties, especially when used with each chakra. The ends can be put directly on the body, with or without a healing crystal associated with a chakra.
Tuning forks are made in such a way that they generate a pure sound, with a specific amount of vibrations every second.
AND what’s really great is that you don’t always have to go to a professional or alternative practitioner to be treated with tuning forks. They’re very simple to use.
It's important to get a full set of chakra body tuning forks because, in general, when one chakra is off, the others are out of balance too. If one chakra is blocked, the ones that are open try to compensate for the imbalance.
TUNING FORKS IMPROVE YOUR OVERALL WELL-BEING
Tuning forks have been found to ...
1. Tune the natural cycles of the body
2. Unite body systems, aids digestion
3. Lower inflammation
4. Balance the nervous system
5. Improve and deepen sleep
6. Increase bone density
7. Promote healing of strained muscle, tendon and ligaments
8. Balance and create homeostasis in the body
9. Open energetic pathways, alleviating stasis and relieving pain
10. Relaxes muscle tension
11. Lowers stress and anxiety
12. Helps to balance hormones
WHY SOUND HEALING WORKS
Sound healing is possible because our bodies are not solid and is mostly made up of water, which conducts sound four times faster. Just think of how you feel the beat of music inside you when you go to a concert. Everything in the universe is made of vibration.
Our bodies are rhythmic (just think of the circadian rhythm that monitors our bodies over 24 hour periods) and we instinctively know how we feel when that’s out of whack.
Many issues, problems, diseases can be traced back to something in our body that is out of tune or has lost its vibrational rhythm. That’s why tuning forks work so well. They help us to synchronize with natural cycles, which then enables us to find our balance and homeostasis. Homeostasis is fundamental to healing the physical body, mind and spirit.
OTHER USES FOR TUNING FORKS
Interestingly enough, facials are being given with tuning forks. They are used to vibrate in order rejuvenate the skin. This is a use of tuning forks that you might want a practitioner for and not try on yourself. It’s especially great for people who carry tension and stress in their facial muscles and you can target the chin and jowls.
As Coveteur reports, the vibrations can relax muscles and increase the body’s lymphatic drainage.
There is so much more that could be said about the practice and use of tuning forks. You’ll find how to best use them for your body and situation as you use them more and more. It could be the missing piece to your overall well-being in body, mind, and spirit.

WHAT IS A SOUND BATH?
It is basically a therapeutic and meditative experience whereby you “bathe” in the sounds and vibrations produced by different instruments such as gongs, tuning forks, and crystal bowls. Through these sounds and vibrations, your mind enters a meditative and relaxed state. This brings about healing at mental, emotional, and physical levels.

During a sound bath, the brainwave state is altered from normal waking state (beta) to relaxed state (alpha), dreamlike state (theta), and even restorative state (delta). As the mind and body relax, the heart rate and blood pressure decrease and our breathing become deeper. It is in this state that deep healing can occur.

Thus, a sound bath not only reduces stress and anxiety by inducing a state of relaxation, but it also has physiological benefits. These include a reduction in pain, better sleep, removal of toxins, and strengthening of immune systems.

BENEFITS OF A SOUND BATH
Sound has proven to have healing effects on the mind as well as the body. A sound bath session can lead to reduced anxiety levels, tension, and sadness as well as diminished pain. Research into this subject is limited, but there have been studies that indicate a sound bath may improve your mood and release tension in your body, among other things.

It may seem like sound baths are yet another New Age trend, but sound therapy is as old as time, dating back over 40,000 years. Ancient Greeks used flutes and lyres to treat digestion and mental health, Tibetans used singing bowls for over 2,000 years for meditation purposes, and Australian aboriginal tribes played the didgeridoo to heal the sick.

MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS
Sound baths may help treat mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety.

One 2016 study of 62 adults gauged their feelings before a sound bath, and again after a meditation session that included a sound bath. The researchers found that tension, anxiety, and negative moods decreased significantly after the therapy.

A 2018 study with 60 participants asked 30 of them to listen to the music of Tibetan singing bowls before getting surgery and gave the other 30 headphones with no music.

The analysis found that heart rate and other vitals that indicate anxiety improved in those who were given the headphones with music.

PHYSICAL PAIN REDUCTION
Participants in the previously mentioned 2016 study were also asked whether they were in pain, and to rank their pain on a scale from 1 to 5 if they did feel pain.

Before a sound bath, these study participants tended to rank their pain higher than they did afterward. More research is needed to confirm whether this trend in pain reduction would reach clinical significance, though.

In the 2020 review, physical symptoms such as blood pressure and heart rate also saw improvement. The review concluded, however, that more research is needed to definitively say sound bath has these effects on most people.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A SOUND BATH
Most sound bath programs last 45 to 60 minutes. During a sound bath session with a practitioner, you lie down on a yoga mat with a comfy cushion under your head. The practitioner then asks you to focus on your breath for a few minutes to relax and then uses different instruments like healing bowls, tuning forks, and gongs to produce different sounds and vibrations.

The sounds wash over your mind and body and take you to a deeper state of consciousness such as during meditation. You actually unplug from external stimuli and enter the state of inner peace and harmony.

Throughout the sessions, people experience a range of physical and mental sensations. Most commonly, they fall into a deep state of relaxation. But participants have also had creative “aha!” moments, shed tears, and even slept. Others may feel very little.

CONCLUSION
A sound bath is a meditative practice that’s safe for most people to try. A sound bath can be easier than other meditative practices because it doesn’t require a lot of discipline or patience to learn how to do it — all you have to do is listen.

Keep in mind that sound baths aren’t a replacement for medication or therapy with a licensed mental health provider when treating anxiety or depression. But since relaxation is the main byproduct of this practice, it could be worth to try as a way to recharge.
