Meet the people using sound meditation to help relieve stress, relax and feel better.
Miranda Munro, founder of the Australian College of Sound Therapy in Western Australia, believes much of the stress of modern life comes from a "soup" of artificial stimulation that surrounds us.
"Everything is a resonance, you walk into a room and you can feel the energy. We're energetic beings, we feel everything, we're just so switched off from that," she says. Ms Munro trains people in the art of playing crystal singing bowls, Himalayan bowls and tuning forks, with additional drums, chimes, rain sticks and vocal tones.
In much the same way that an upbeat, feel-good song can instantly lift one's mood, she believes listening to the singing bowls can improve your wellbeing.While the research on sound meditation is thin, there is a body of scientific evidence to suggest that, with the left side of our brains handling speech, and the right side handling music and sounds.
Ms Munro believes that when people listen to the sounds being played during a meditation session it helps them switch off their left brain and relax."It puts the brain into a nice deep theta or alpha brain wave state," she says. "This is a state that we go into when we are in deep relaxation, or just before we fall asleep in deep meditation and also in hypnosis.
