The Latest Trend in Wellness: Sound Therapy
By Lori Vargas, founder of 360 Wellness Education
The latest trend in wellness? It’s absolutely audible. Spas and wellness centers are using singing bowls, medicine drums, soft music, the sound of a heartbeat, and vibrations to leave clients relaxed, recharged, and rejuvenated.
Singing Bowls
Wellness is an important aspect of modern life, and people are seeking new and innovative ways to combat stress and anxiety. One of the latest trends in wellness is the use of sound therapy. This involves utilizing sound to create a relaxing, rejuvenating, and therapeutic experience. Whether it's through sound baths, gongs, heartbeats, soft music, or singing bowls.
Singing bowls are hand-made Tibetan bowls that produce a soothing and calming sound when struck or played. They are often used in sound therapy and meditation to help balance the chakras, improve concentration, and calm the mind. The sound and vibration produced by singing bowls are believed to have a therapeutic effect on the body and mind.
The advantage of singing bowls is their mobility, enabling you to either place them around a client or carry them as you walk while emitting sound. This allows you to create a custom experience for each client and you can integrate them with any service.
