Many times, we depend on modern medicine to find a cure for our everyday troubles. From sleepless nights to aches and strains of the body, our generation is plagued by health issues that stem from daily stress and tension. But consuming medicines for such lifestyle-fueled conditions is often counterproductive – which is why we recommend alternative therapies to manage our health and well-being in the long run.
One such treatment that is safe, effective, and highly therapeutic is the Peter Hess® Sound Massage. To put it simply, sound massage uses soothing sounds and vibrations of singing bowls by positioning them on and around your dressed body. The therapist plays the gentle and harmonious sounds, putting you in a deep state of relaxation. Sound massage evokes the feeling that every cell in your body is massaged by sound waves, breaking away the stress and tension you hold. Each sound/vibration stimulates and soothes the skin, organs, and tissues in your body.
At our wellness center in Dubai, we recommend that every one of our clients try out the Peter Hess® Sound Massage. Here is why we believe in its therapeutic abilities-
The effects of Sound Massage
Studies confirm that approximately 70% of the human body is water. As the majority of our body is composed of water, our cells are sensitive to sounds and vibrations. Based on the theory that vibrations release energy stored around the body, gentle, rhythmic vibrations from one or more Himalayan bowls are strategically sent through the body during the sound massage treatment. The deep and soothing sound waves travel through the body, where the cells naturally absorb specific frequencies that are essential for releasing blocks, relieving muscular tension, and healing strains and injuries. Thus sounds help repair, regenerate, and re-energize your body, leading to a sense of complete wellbeing.
When we perform everyday activities, our brain runs in Beta frequency. The soothing vibrations during the massage also elevate the brain into the Alpha state and subsequently to Theta and Delta stages, which calms down our nervous energy and draws the brain into a meditative state.
Sound healing is an ancient art that has been around for more than 5,000 years. About 30 years ago, the German scientist Peter Hess reinvented this healing technique and propagated it to the masses. Today, we know that sound massage is highly beneficial and provides-
- A deep state of relaxation
- Releases tensions and blockages in your body
- Promotes good health through harmonization, regeneration, and revitalization
- Improve your self-awareness and oneness with your body
- Relieves stress and anxiety
- Provides better sleeping patterns
- Releases creative/productive energies and foster resilience
What to expect during a session?
At our wellness center, each Peter Hess® Sound Massage session is about 60 minutes. Prior to the treatment, our in-house sound practitioner, Antje, will assess your individual needs and requirements, followed by a 45-minute sound massage.
To generate sound and vibration, Antje uses one or more Himalayan bowls made of different metals and varies in size and weight. The bowls are used to produce sounds across a range of frequencies that specifically target the area you want to focus on.
Following a session, you will experience a wonderful calmness around you that helps you think clearly and remain focussed. At The Hundred, we encourage our clients to share your experience with our practitioner. However, it is a personal choice as you can also retire without further analysis to enjoy the effects in peace.
