Why Does Sound Bath Get Popular ?
Because it’s the easiest way to relax just in minutes ! You don’t have to do anything , your brain does everything by itself and we always need simple solutions.
In fact, our lives are getting more and more complicated with the development of technology. Although artificial intelligence provides us with many benefits, it actually makes our already complicated brains even more complicated, and this brings us back to the simple primitive techniques used in ancient times to relax. We can say that as we advance in technology, we are actually regressing. We do this on purpose. Isn’t it always safer to try the tried and tested.
Sound therapy is not a new discovery. It has just started to become more popular nowadays. This popularity is still at the point of obscurity. This timidity is understandable. After briefly discussing who should not receive this session, I will go into the details of this amazing practice, which is almost 100% safe, from ancient cultures.
I will give you a very brief summary of the worst things that can happen in sound therapy. This is not a medicine to be taken. The side effects are not so big that we are worried. The worst thing that can happen is that the memories of a person who has experienced trauma before can be intensified, disturbed, the person can be triggered so every practitioner should warn people about this before the session. If you are on medication for a psychological condition, do not take this session without consulting your doctor. Mild sedatives are fine ,as far as we know.
The Sound Bath is all about relaxing you and allowing your brain to go into a pre-sleep state. It is normal to sleep during the session. Everyone is different and there is no right or wrong during this session. Isn't it a great method?
Sound therapy can significantly alter brain waves, changing agitated wave patterns to exceptionally calm wave forms. As our brain waves slow down, we shift from an active state to a more relaxed, dreamlike state.
Well,
What do we know about brain waves ? What does Sound Therapy do to our brain and body?
All you have to do is let sound therapy bring you into the Alpha state. I can hear you asking
What are the brain wave types ?
Gamma (problem solving, concentrated), Beta (busy, active mind), Alpha (reflective, restful), Tetha (drowsiness), Delta (sleep, dreaming)
THE MOST IMPORTANT STATE
What are alpha waves?
How do they change?
The shape of the wave is different at rest than it is when someone is using all of their focus and attention. Controlling our brain waves could help optimize relaxation and productivity. Read about three ways that you can change your brain waves to get closer to the state you want. Regular meditation and sound bath have been shown to increase alpha waves – your relaxation brain waves — and reduce beta waves – the brain waves of active thought and learning. That’s why it’s most commonly recommended for reducing stress. Deep breathing and closed-eye visualization – techniques that mindfulness meditation during a sound therapy usually employs – also boost alpha waves.
Besides relaxation, alpha waves may also help boost creativity and thereby act as a natural anti-depressant by promoting the release of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Another way to boost your alphas, surprisingly, is to do high-intensity workouts. Not only do they release endorphins that give that exercise “high”, but they also promote alpha waves as you rest.
After all this information, I think you understand the wonderful benefits of sound therapy for our brain and how it works. All you have to do is find a sound therapy studio around you and experience your first session. You will love it!
