Sound Vibes

Music is known to soothe the soul, but it doesn’t have to be limited to your favourite pop or classical tunes.

Music is known to soothe the soul, but it doesn’t have to be limited to your favourite pop or classical tunes. Gaining mainstream popularity is singing bowl therapy, which is offered at various wellness studios and yoga classes as part of meditation practice. Different sizes of bowls made of bell metal – also known as Tibetan singing bowls – are played by striking or rotating a mallet around the outside rim to produce deep, resounding notes. Recent studies have found singing bowl therapy to be effective in improving mood, reducing anxiety and pain, as well as enhancing spiritual well-being, to name a few benefits. If you’re often stressed or suffer from chronic aches, no harm giving this a shot. To experience this sound therapy as part of a holistic spa treatment, check out Super Vibrator at Spa Esprit.
