why sound – and how can it help your meditation practice? at some point in our lives we have all probably turned to music and other sounds to alter our mood. whether we intuitively knew the power of sound and its effects on our mental, emotional – and yes, physical state – research results have shown significant benefits such as reduction in one’s stress, depression, and anxiety levels, and lessens physical and psychological pain. listening to sounds during meditation helps to quiet the mind, encourages you to disengage from your surroundings – therefore enhancing your state of presence, release traumas, enhances your self-awareness, and supports you going deep into your meditation session by serving as an effective tool for deep focus and concentration.

for thousands of years sounds – like tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls, and tuning forks – have been used to encourage healing and other therapeutic effects in individuals. the tuning fork for example has been believed to promote and stimulate the natural flowing of ones energy around and throughout the body – this energy is often referred to as qi – which is ones vital life force energy. healing sounds have also been know to induce heighten self awareness, treat mental ailments, encourage deep sleep, and lower blood pressure.
