The Power of Deep Relaxation

 

Life in the modern world often keeps our bodies in a constant state of "fight -or- flight" (sympathetic nervous system activation). This week, we'll look at how sound bowls offer a powerful, natural antidote by engaging your body's "rest and digest" system. 

The Science of Calm

When you listen to or feel the vibrations of sound healing bowls, the sound frequencies help slow your brainwaves from an active alert state (beta waves) to a deeply relaxed, meditative state (alpha and theta waves). This process, known as brainwave entertainment signals your nervous system to calm down. 

Key physical responses include:

• Lowered Heart Rate and Blood Pressure: Studies show a significant decrease in heart rate and blood pressure during and after sound bowl sessions. 

• Stimulated Vagus Nerve: The vibrations help stimulate the vagus nerve, a keyplayer in regulating involuntary bodily functions and activating the body's relaxation response. 

• Reduced Stress Hormones: This shift in the nervous system helps decrease the production of stress hormones like cortisol. 

Your Weekly Practice: The 5-Minute Reset

Commit to a 5-minute sound bowl session (or simply listen to a high-quality recording) each day this week. Focus on your breathing, allowing the sounds to guide you into a state of calm awareness. Notice how your body's physical tension begins to melt away.
