![]() Chimes or string instruments can be a bit too stimulating right at the beginning. Playing them at 128 Hz is effective in relieving localised pain,” says Delhi-based sound bath practitioner Shagun Marwah.ĭas, on the other hand, has a different approach. “I like to start with singing bowls that invite the person into an introspective space. “Their vibrations loosen up the musculature and help activate the parasympathetic state or the part of your nervous system responsible for relaxing the body. Some therapists begin the session with grounding sounds such as those created by chimes and tuning forks. Those considered to have healing effects are gongs, tuning forks, crystal bowls, energy chimes, bells, didgeridoo, monochord and tingsha cymbals. That’s where different instruments come into play as each carries a distinct vibration. While every practitioner designs the flow of vibrations based on their methodology, what’s fundamental to any sound work is “active listening and cultivating a relationship with to understand how it affects us”, according to Das. “Frequencies as low as 40 Hz enhance brain coherence, whereas binaural beats at 6 Hz activate all areas of the brain within 10 minutes, promoting calm,” she says. I can release because times get hard, but that doesn't mean I need to beat myself up in the process.“Psychoacoustics talks about how lower Hz help alter the brainwave state, allowing one to go from an active beta state to a calmer alpha or theta state,” says Auroville-based Priyanjali Das, who runs Farasha sound immersion, a sound-healing collective. I can relate, and refer to my circle, who want the best for me, and offer me perspective. I can relax and still work towards my goals. I'm appreciating the phrase, "relax, relate, release", more and more because it's confirmation that I will be alright. I'm learning that everything I want out of life will not come in the packaged deal that is in my imagination. I try to challenge myself, and do things outside my norm, so I can get the types of results I want (or hope to obtain.) I'm learning to "relax, relate, relax." I'm grateful enough to have friends and family, who love and support me, remind me how strong I am, and that I will be okay. ![]() I set personal goals for each week and/or day in order to feel better about my process. Something that I've realized that I'm doing is constantly working towards my goals. I'm learning how to take things day by day, and just to be grateful that I'm able to see another 24 hours. I find myself questioning everything at times, and wanting answers for everything, but I'm learning not everything is meant for me to see and understand RIGHT NOW. A 23 year old, college grad, who is navigating through this journey called life. If I'm being quiet honest, though, I still feel freak out, like everyone else who's in my shoes. I've read multiple quotes, telling me that my time is coming, and I just need to work hard, and be patient, which I believe is true. I've seen memes about Oprah getting fired from her first major job at 23. As a 23 year old, I see memes on social media on daily basis, telling me to trust the process. Today, I find myself using "relax, relate, release" to get my life. As a fan of the show, "A Different World", I laughed when Whitley was huffing and puffing, and making weird gestures, repeating "relax, relate, release", and I didn't think anything of it. Her therapist basically told her that she needed to chill, and take things day by day, and to be true to herself. Whitley Gilbert said it best, "relax, relate, release."ĭuring this episode, Whitley was freaking out about her life and visited her therapist in order to gather her life.
