Pain is the body's way of telling us there is an imbalance in the body.
Sound therapy and meditation is being studied as alternative options to relieving pain. When combined, these modalities can have magical effects.
One theory why is that sound works through the vibrational tactile effects on the whole body. Sound could stimulate touch fibres that affect pain perception.
According to the Australian College of Sound Therapy, sound healing instruments generate sound waves. Each molecule in the body absorbs a small amount of energy from these waves and then passes the wave on to the next molecule. When molecules are hit by sound waves close to their inherent frequency they will oscillate or strongly 'resonate'.
The oscillation, or resonance, of molecules, triggered by the sound vibrations cause alternating compression and relaxation of cells. It is like a form of massage at a cellular level deep within the tissue.
When the cell is compressed it loses some of its fluid, along with waste products and toxins. As the pressure relaxes, fresh nutrients are drawn into the cell and hormones within the tissue are also stimulated by this oscillation effect that will improve blood flow to the area for many hours. In this way, regeneration and repair mechanisms are stimulated.
So sink back and relax into this meditation, allowing your pain to be released on the sound waves as they flow throughout your body.
