A brief history of sound therapy:
The earliest record of sound being used as a healing tool dates back more than 40,000 years to the Aboriginal people of Australia.
In Greek culture, Pythagoras, known as the “father of music,” discovered musical intervals and used sound and harmonic frequencies for healing. In fact, he was the first to prescribe sound as medicine.
Singing bowls found their origin in Mesopotamia more than 5,000 years ago. The cultures of Tibet, Nepal, and India have singing bowls in their history too, dating back roughly 2,000 years.
Today, there are many types of sound therapy and music therapy. Sound healing (also called sound bathing) makes use of Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, tuning forks, bells, drums, and more, to calm the mind and spirit.
