Sound Healing Instruments

Your guide to sound healing

Sound therapy is an nurturing healing practice that utilises sound vibrations to promote relaxation, balance, and overall well-being.

Practised by ancient and Indigenous cultures from Ancient Egypt to India millenia ago, sound healing now plays an important role in many people’s meditation, yoga and self-care practices.

‘Sound baths’ are a great way to experience sound healing. They combine music and meditation to ‘bathe’ your mind, body and soul in the sound and vibrational frequencies when a sound healing instrument or combination of instruments is played.

A person does not hear sound only through the ears; he hears sound through every pore of the body,” said Hazrat Inayat Khan, Sufi, philosopher and musicologist. “It permeates the entire being, and according to its particular influence, either slows or quickens the rhythm of the blood circulation; it either awakens or soothes the nervous system.”
