Where does healing with sound come from?

‌ Sonic healing originated in the Himalayan region and is widely used especially in Tibet, Nepal and India. ‌ A soundbowl is a bowl-shaped musical instrument made of metal that resonates and vibrates by striking or rubbing its edges. The therapy uses sound and vibration to promote physical and mental health and is derived from the traditions of Tibet, Nepal and the Himalayan region ‌12.

The specific principles of sonic healing are achieved through sound resonance and energy balance. Usually made of copper and tin alloys, striking or rubbing the rim of the bowl produces rich and long-lasting sounds and vibrations that are thought to affect the body's energy field, bringing about a deep level of relaxation and balance. The overtone of the vibration of the sound bowl is long-lasting, converts the low-frequency energy state in the human magnetic field through resonance, adjusts and improves the energy, makes people calm and relaxed, and soon enters the state of deep meditation ‌34.
