Sound helps to facilitate shifts in our brainwave state by using entrainment. Entrainment synchronises our fluctuating brainwaves by providing a stable frequency which the brainwave can attune to. By using rhythm and frequency, we can entrain our brainwaves and it then becomes possible to down-shift our normal beta state (normal waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxed consciousness), and even reach theta (meditative state) and delta (sleep; where internal healing can occur). This same concept is utilised in meditation to regulate breath, but with sound it is the frequency that creates the shift.

The sounds and vibrations of singing bowls promote relaxation and restoration with subtle and sometimes profound healing effects. They can be used to take the recipient into a deep meditative state, which can then lead the body into a place of homeostasis, helping it to self-regulate and heal.

Our bodies are made up of 65-75% water, which is an excellent conductive medium for sound and vibration. The pure tones and vibrations from the Tibetan and crystal bowls are transmitted to our cells which release toxins.

The body is also made up of many crystalline structures. When the crystal bowls are played, there may be profound effects on the tissues, cells and organs in the body, as well as rebalancing the circulatory, endocrine and metabolic systems.
