The Art & Science of Vibrational
Sound Healing
By Elivia Melodey
 Vibrational
sound healing can be traced back from present day trends to many
ancient civilizations including India, Africa, Europe, and the Orient.
Each culture had unique approaches specific to their region and
beliefs. Bells, chimes, bowls, gongs, drums and vocal toning, chants
or repetitive sound vibrations are only a few of the many vibrational
sound tools that can be used for healing. In Ancient Egypt vowel
sounds were chanted in specific keys to clear and restore balance to
the system. Practitioners and healers today use a combination of
vibrational sound techniques to assist their clients.
Vibrational sound touches our bodies on a molecular
and crystalline level. The body is a network of vibrational fields and
energy currents. Each individual resonates at his or her own
vibration. Sound is an acoustical wave while color is an
electromagnetic wave. The colors of the rainbow correspond to a
specific musical note in the same way that each chakra (energy center)
of the body correlates with a specific tone and color. Although there
is a tone and color that corresponds to each energy center, each part
affects the totality. This is important to know since each crystal
bowl will affect the whole body. You may feel the effects in one
section of your body more deeply, but the vibrational sound will also
travel throughout your entire energy field. The human body and the
entire earth are made up of energy, vibrating at different
frequencies. When out of rhythm, disease and disharmony results.
Vibrational sound healing addresses these imbalances or blockages of
the energy channels.
 Crystal
quartz singing bowls can be played anywhere and in a variety of ways.
Light bowls can be held in the hand, while large heavy bowls are more
easily played on a level surface.
The notes of the crystal bowls are tuned to specific
vibrational frequencies (notes) found within the human body. Thus when
the sound moves through the atmosphere and touches us, it causes our
cells to move in different directions at a different speed, in rhythm
with the sound wave. This puts us in harmony with the sound wave. The
sound penetrates into our very cells and rebalances them through
oscillation and resonance. Hearing is not a prerequisite for
benefiting from these healing properties. Studies have shown that
sound has a direct impact on the mental processes, muscles, nervous
system, (heartbeat, pulse) digestive system and circulatory system.
Alignment with the tones of the Singing Crystal Bowls is one of the
most dynamic forms of sound healing found today.
Dr. Mitchell Gaynor, director of Medical Oncology
and Integrative Medicine at the Cornell Cancer Prevention Center in NY
has been using sound, including Tibetan Bowls, Crystal bowls and
chanting in work with cancer patients for many years. “If we accept
that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part
of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only
through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason
sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and
transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes. Sound can redress
imbalances on every level of physiologic functioning and can play a
positive role in the treatment of virtually any medical disorder.”
According to an article in Spirituality and Health magazine, his
research shows that the sound vibration of the bowls affects the dis-rhythmic
motion found in cancer cells and causes a harmonious transformation.
Research by Dr. David Simon, medical director of
neurological services at Sharp Cabrillo Hospital in San Diego, who now
directs the medical services at the Chopra Center, found that chants
are chemically metabolized into 'endogenous opiates,' that act on the
body as internal painkillers and healing agents.
 Crystal
Singing Bowls can bring Healing and Stress Relief
Crystal bowl therapy helps to balance the chakra
(energy) system and re-energize the auric field. Healing is thus made
possible on all levels. Each individual is unique as to which energy
center(s) require balancing, so you may find yourself drawn to
different tones each time you experience them. Body and Energy work
practitioners have found that sessions with clients are dramatically
more effective with the addition of crystal sound therapy. Clients
immediately go into a state of full receptivity and relaxation. This
allows the practitioner to go deeper and more easily reach underlying
issues.
