Sound Therapy with Tina
Sound therapy, also known as sound healing or sound therapy, is a practice that uses sound frequencies to promote healing and well-being. It’s based on the idea that sound can affect our physical, emotional, and mental states.

Types of Sound Therapy:
-
Binaural Beats: This technique involves playing two slightly different frequencies in each ear, which the brain then interprets as a single, new frequency. It’s often used to promote relaxation, focus, or improved sleep.
-
Tuning Fork Therapy: This uses calibrated metal tuning forks to apply specific frequencies to the body, aiming to balance energy and promote healing.
-
Crystal Singing Bowls: These bowls are made of crystal and produce resonant sounds when played. The vibrations are thought to aid in balancing energy and fostering relaxation.
-
Gong Therapy: Gongs produce rich, complex sounds that can create deep relaxation and help release emotional and physical tension.
-
Chanting and Mantras: Repeating specific sounds, words, or phrases can have a meditative effect and help shift mental states.
