If youโve been curious about what a Peter Hess Sound Massage feels like, or why the experience can be so deeply relaxing, this post from the Peter Hess Academy Australia offers a wonderful explanation.
Have you ever experienced sound in this way before?
It also shares a link to one of the studies exploring the effects of sound massage for those who enjoy the science behind the experience.
โจ I feel very grateful to offer this amazing process and love supporting others through the power of sound.

What people feel during a Peter Hessยฎ Sound Massage ๐ถ
Curious about what really happens during a Peter Hessยฎ Sound Massage?
In recent years, Singing Bowls and sound-based approaches have become increasingly present in wellbeing, therapy, and education. While there is some research on passive music listening, the effects of on-body sound applications have been less explored.
A 2022 study by Walter & Hinterberger (University Hospital Regensburg), published in Medicina, examined a professional Peter Hessยฎ Sound Massage with Therapeutic Singing Bowls placed on and around the body.
The findings were insightful - not only on a physiological level (brain activity, heart rate, breathing, and relaxation responses), but also in participantsโ subjective experiences.
Many participants reported feeling:
โข More balanced and integrated
โข Calmer and mentally clearer
โข A sense of openness and spaciousness
โข A distortion of time perception (โlosing track of timeโ)
โข More connected and secure
โข Experiences described as warmth, love, and deep inner safety
These states are often comparable to meditative experiences, without participants being instructed to meditate.
It is important to emphasise: this is not simply โplaying bowls on the bodyโ. A Peter Hessยฎ Sound Massage is a structured, internationally recognised and taught professional method developed over more than 40 years. Technique, placement, instruments, and practitioner presence all contribute to the overall experience. While research in this field is still emerging, studies like this offer valuable insight into why this approach can be perceived as deeply regulating and restorative.
