1 - What is Sound Healing? 🌟

Sound healing uses special frequencies and tones to improve your physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Sounds can affect your chakras, your body and mind, and help balance your emotions. It can make you feel more relaxed and even help your body heal.

It’s pretty simple: different sounds and vibrations interact with your body and bring it back into balance. These sounds can help lower stress, calm the nervous system, and improve how you feel overall. Healing frequencies work by affecting your body's energy, helping you release tension and feel better.

Sound healing also helps the parasympathetic nervous system—the part of your body that helps you relax. It can lower your heart rate, reduce anxiety, and help manage stress. That’s why it’s such a great way to improve your health.


2 - What is the History of Sound Healing?

Sound healing has been around for ages! It started in ancient cultures like Egypt, India, and Tibet where it was believed to promote healing. Gregorian chants, Tibetan singing bowls, and flute music are some of the old sound healing methods still used today. People back then believed that sacred frequencies could balance the energy in our bodies.

Modern science has also started to show that these practices can really help. Researchers have found that frequencies like 528 Hz and 432 Hz can have real effects on our health. These sounds can help with healing, align the chakras, and create a sense of inner peace.

In ancient Greece, philosophers like Pythagoras believed in the healing power of sound. He used music to create harmony in the body, which is an idea that’s still used today. In India, people chant mantras for spiritual growth and balance, and in Tibet, monks use singing bowls and gongs for similar reasons.
