So that we can feel more like we are centered, more like one. [MUSIC PLAYING]
Sound healing is a very natural and alternative way to be able to bring relaxation to the body.
You have to understand that the brain waves usually operate under what we call beta.
But in order for us to go deeper into our sleep, deeper into our thoughts, deeper into our relaxation,
we need to go towards alpha and theta waves. And the way that you can do that is with sound therapy.
Whether it's a Tibetan bowl, whether it's the bells, whether it's a tuning fork, what you're
trying to do is get the vibrational sounds that takes your brain waves to alpha and theta
and therefore brings you more towards what we call parasympathetic functioning, slowing down the heartbeat,
being able to slow down the way that we breathe, and be much more relaxed and tuning in to our own minds,
our own thoughts, our own pulses, so that we can feel more like we are centered, more like one,
