FAQ
Common questions
Is sound healing scientifically studied?
It is early. Studies of sound-based relaxation, including singing-bowl meditation, report reduced tension and anxiety immediately after sessions, but the research base is small, rarely controlled, and varied in method. The evidence currently supports relaxation benefits; stronger claims about healing specific conditions are not established.
