How does sound healing work?

Stress reduction is one of the most important results of receiving sound therapy. It is the underlying cause of many physical conditions and it melts away with ease when you are bathed in the ocean of sound healing vibrations. 

Every sound is a vibration and this vibration touches each and every cell of our body. We perceive sound with our ears, but also with other cells in our body.
