Inner Alchemies
11min sound bath
From mid-night waking up to back to sleep
Sleep.
What a topic..
Who can say today that he or she has a consistent and healthy sleep? Not that many people…
Delta brain waves are the slowest known brain waves that run between 1 and 4 Hertz (Hz). They occur during the deep stages of sleep. Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night feeling groggy, unrested, stressed out? Then, you probably didn’t spend enough time in the delta stages of sleep. So how can you come back to that brain wave stage easily?
A sound bath, especially with crystal singing bowls, produces low-frequency sounds to entrain the brain into a delta brain wave state associated with the deepest levels of relaxation and restorative healing sleep. Entrainment is a process of synchronizing two different beats to become harmonious. Brain wave entrainment works by pulsing a different sound in each ear to stimulate the brain into altered states of consciousness.
This sound bath is using mainly lower tones, and using the swirling technique (guiding the and around the rim of the bowl with a gentle pressure) which has a soothing effect (compared to the chiming technique (gently striking the bowl) which has an accelerating effect. In this sound bath I also played a lot my Amethyst D # bowl working on the adrenal glands, bringing balance to these glands responsible for the production of cortisol, the stress hormone.
Come back to a state of homeostasis and balance, slow down your brain waves, fall back to sleep.
