The human body is roughly 65% water.  Netter's Atlas of Human Physiology breaks it down as follows:

• Intracellular Fluids - 70%

• Extracellular Fluids - 37.5%

  • Plasma - 20%

  • Interstitial Fluids - 79%

  • Transcellular Fluids - 1%

 

We also know that sound travels much faster through fluids than air. Combine these facts and you have a therapeutic practice which stimulates the human body on an intracellular level, Patients frequently report feeling "tingly all over" after a bowl session.

Humans experience five different types of electrical patterns or “brain waves” which are measured in Hertz.  (cycles per second) Each serves a specific purpose in human functioning. In order for us to function optimally, we need to have a "balanced dose" of these frequencies.
Delta Waves ~ 0 Hz to 4 Hz
Strongest in infants
Stimulates Para-sympathetic nervous system (rest, digest, heal)
Present during deep relaxation
Necessary for restorative, healing sleep
Theta Waves ~ 4 Hz to 8 Hz
Improves intuition
Stimulates creativity
Supports restorative sleep
Alpha Waves ~ 8Hz to 12 Hz
Helps induce relaxation
Acts as bridge between conscious and subconscious
Beta Waves ~ 12 Hz to 40 Hz
Stimulates focus, memory, and problem solving
Gamma Waves ~ 40 Hz to 100 Hz
Increases learning, memory and information processing.
Engages / Binds the senses to a memory
Supports REM Sleep
 
The beauty of hand hammered bowls is they deliver layers of sound with each strike. This complex, yet soothing "sound bath" causes the brain to process the layers of sound binaurally which evokes a reduction in brainwave frequency. The lower the frequency of the brain, the deeper the relaxation.

Of the three levels of human interaction with sound and vibrations, emotions are the most familiar to us. Hear a favorite song and we smile from the heart; hear a loud crash and we are jolted with fear. A soothing vibration comforts while a rattling vibration disrupts. Certified Vibrational Sound Therapists us the Measured Strike Technique which eliminates the "surprise strike" or accidental "clang" which would jolt you right out of your relaxed state. When the body relaxes, and the mind becomes quiet, the emotions settle. It is from this place of peace that the deepest human answers can be discovered.
