How Does Sound Massage Work?
Ancient knowledge and tradition
According to Tibetan teachings, the world and man were created through primeval vibrations. Therefore, the human being IS a sound. And some sounds, as the holy mantra "OM" have the power, by their healing vibrations, to bring man into harmony with himself and the cosmos.
In India, the Vedic healing art, that was developed about 5000 years ago, is based predominantly on the effect of sounds. Here lies the origin of healing through sounds and, even today, the healing power of sound is highly regarded in India.
​
"In Nepal people believe that a man who vibrates harmoniously is healthy. A sick (disharmonious) man who listens to harmonious sounds will readily absorb those, become centered, and will start to heal."
- Peter Hess
How does it work?
Inspired by this ancient knowledge, the Peter Hess Sound Massage is a scientifically proven method based on 30 years of experience and research. It is exclusively practiced by providers trained at a Peter Hess Academy.
During a Sound Massage, the Peter Hess Singing Bowls are placed on the clothed body and gently sounded. The human organism, composed of about 50 % to 75 % of water, is an ideal medium for sound waves. The relaxing tones and vibrations are absorbed by the whole body massaging softly and pleasantly every of its cells, tissues, muscles, organs, joints…
Through unresolved problems, stress and worries, we usually build blockages that can manifest in very unpleasant ways (for example, a pain in our joints or a hardening of certain muscle groups).
During the Sound Massage, the gentle vibrations dissolve blockages and tensions, freeing the entire body. The bonds that prevent the internal mechanisms of healing and revitalization are released, initializing a process of self-healing and detoxification.
And, as every body cell starts vibrating, harmony is brought, the mind becomes silent… This favorises our connection to our own inner wisdom and our soul experiences room to develop.
In this state of deep relaxation equivalent to that which can be achieved through meditation, the person who benefits from the Sound Massage let go and experiences relief from stress, fears, worries, doubts and all feelings that have a negative impact on one’s health.
By calming the mind, the harmonic sounds of the Singing Bowls create space for new positive thoughts and feelings, self-empowerment, inspiration and creativity.
