‭Sound Healing India | Sound Healing Therapy – Sanatanyog

At Sanatan Yog in Pushkar, healing is not just a practice—it’s a tradition. For over four generations, our ashram has welcomed seekers from around the world to experience balance, clarity, and peace. Among our most cherished practices is sound healing, a gentle yet powerful way to restore harmony in the body and mind.

What is Sound Healing?

Sound healing is an ancient practice where vibrations from instruments like singing bowls, gongs, and even the human voice are used to shift energy within the body. These vibrations create resonance, calming the nervous system and guiding you into a meditative state. When practiced regularly, sound frequency healing can bring you closer to inner balance and emotional clarity.

Think of it this way—just as a musical instrument needs tuning, so does your body and mind. The sound frequencies act like a tuning fork, helping you realign and reset.

How Sound Healing Works

Sound healing works through the principles of resonance and entrainment:

1. Resonance – Every organ, tissue, and cell in the body has a natural frequency. When exposed to specific sound vibrations, these parts can “resonate” back into balance.
2. Entrainment – Our brainwaves naturally synchronize to external rhythms. For example:
   Slow, steady beats can shift the brain into a relaxed theta state (deep meditation).
   Gentle harmonics can promote alpha states (calm awareness).
3. Vibrational Massage – Instruments like singing bowls create vibrations that physically travel through the body, releasing tension and blockages.

Instruments Commonly Used in Sound Healing

• Tibetan Singing Bowls – Create harmonic overtones that induce relaxation.
• Crystal Bowls – Made from quartz, believed to amplify healing frequencies.
• Gongs – Produce deep, layered sounds that affect multiple brainwave states.
• Tuning Forks – Used on or near the body to target specific frequencies.
• Drums & Rhythms – Help ground energy and bring awareness to the present moment.
• Chanting & Mantras – The human voice is considered one of the most powerful healing tools.

Types of Sound Healing Practices

• Sound Baths: Group sessions where participants are immersed in sound vibrations from gongs, bowls, and chimes.
• Individual Sessions: Personalised with tuning forks or specific instruments aimed at certain energy imbalances.
• Mantra Chanting: Repetition of sacred sounds (like “Om”) to align mind and spirit.
• Music Therapy: Professionally guided use of music for mental health and rehabilitation.
• Binaural Beats: Listening to slightly different frequencies in each ear to shift brainwave states.

Sound Healing and Chakras

In yogic tradition, each chakra (energy centre) resonates with a particular frequency:

• Root Chakra (Muladhara): 256 Hz – grounding and stability
• Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana): 288 Hz – creativity, emotions
• Solar Plexus (Manipura): 320 Hz – confidence, willpower
• Heart Chakra (Anahata): 341 Hz – love, compassion
• Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): 384 Hz – expression, truth
• Third Eye (Ajna): 448 Hz – intuition, wisdom
• Crown Chakra (Sahasrara): 480 Hz – higher consciousness

Frequency (Hz)	Purpose & Effect
40 Hz	Linked with improved cognition and memory, often studied in Alzheimer’s research.
174 Hz	Reduces pain and tension in the body.
285 Hz	Helps tissue repair and rejuvenation.
396 Hz	Releases fear, guilt, and negative emotions.
417 Hz	Encourages positive change and emotional healing.
432 Hz	Known as the “natural frequency of the universe,”; brings deep relaxation and harmony.
528 Hz	Called the “Love Frequency” or “DNA Repair Frequency”; linked with cellular regeneration.
639 Hz	Balances relationships and emotional healing.
741 Hz	Detoxification, awakening intuition, clearing negativity.
852 Hz	Heightens awareness, inner strength, and spiritual connection.
963 Hz	Associated with the pineal gland and higher states of consciousness.

Singing bowls and mantras are often tuned to these frequencies to restore balance.

Scientific Perspective

Research shows:

• Heart Rate Variability: Improves with exposure to calming sound frequencies.
• Brainwave Entrainment: Helps transition between beta (alert) to alpha/theta (relaxed) states.
• Cellular Impact: Some studies suggest sound frequencies may influence cellular repair and immune function.
