Step 3: Conclusion

Sound therapy can retrain the brain response by removing negative emotional associations to sound. The gong’s sounds and vibrations have a quick effect on the brain and the body. They move us from our awake (Beta) state to a more relaxed and calm (Alpha) state, then on to a restful (Theta) state and finally to a deeply relaxing meditative (Delta) state. When we relax with the sounds of Gong, bells, or Tibetan bowls, our concentration improves and our emotional tensions and blockages are eased. The sound with its vibrations can ease mental or emotional pain (low self-esteem, worries, fear, anger, anxiety, depression, insomnia).
