Listen
Sound therapy refers to a range of therapies in which sound is used to treat physical and mental conditions. One of these therapies is music therapy, which can involve a person listening to music for conditions such as stress and muscle tension. Music is one component of this therapy. Others use sound wave vibrations to treat physical and mental conditions. It is based on the theory that all of life forms vibrates, including people's bodies.
Something surprising often happens at the end of a Kundalini yoga class, and it’s one of my favorite parts of the practice., It’s when my teacher plays the gong. This occurs when we’re on our mats in Savasana (resting or Corpse pose). Like many Kundalini yoga students, the gong swiftly and powerfully transports me to a place of peaceful, calming bliss. The use of the gong can be traced back hundreds of years to northern India, and is now a staple in Western Kundalini yoga classes. When appropriately played, the gong sends listeners into an otherworldly realm, massaging and soothing every cell in the body with pure vibration and sound.
