Sound therapy at home: 5 steps to acquire your inner harmony

Stressful days at work, constant flow of information, absence of confidence in the future – all this leads to anxiousness. Some people deal with it with the help of meditation and yoga, others prefer dancing and aromatherapy. The key to solving this problem is finding your own way to relax.

What is sound therapy?

Shortly speaking, it is a practice that involves vocal or instrumental vibrations (like gong, Tibetan singing bowls and tuning forks) to relax your mind and body.

What’s the benefit?

Sound therapy is used to recover from daily stress and reduce tension. By absorbing negative energy from your body, it helps you relax, regain energy and enhance the feeling of well-being.

How to carry out sound therapy with RAV Vast at home?

Follow the steps described below and you will be able to let go of your anxieties and achieve a state of relaxation through sound, without costly visits to a psychologist.

1.Get in the right state of mind

You need to find a comfortable place for the sound therapy session, just like in meditation. It means absence of distraction of any kind – phone, children, TV and other external sounds. Create a cozy environment for yourself with the help of blankets, pillows, low light and aroma sticks. Candles can also contribute to the peaceful atmosphere and help you enter a state of deep relaxation.

2. Get yourself comfortable

Prepare a comfortable surface for you to sit, for example a soft pillow. Place the RAV on your knees, try several notes to make sure you will not think about the drum’s weight and position while playing. For longer sound therapy sessions, we recommend using RAV Vast stands. 

3. Focus

Set your mind to peace, love or hope and to your RAV drum. Breathe deeply and focus on your intentions and your inner self. Try not to think about work and current tasks while you are playing.

4. Play

Play slowly by tapping one tongue at a time. You do not need to fill the whole space with sound. Let the sound vibrations of one note or chord unleash their whole power, hit one tongue, make a pause, move on to another one. Do not plan on the melody but let the musical instrument guide you. Feel your mind and body relaxing, and let the sound vibration create the feeling of harmony and calmness.

5. Appreciate

When you are done, stay in silence for several seconds and thank yourself for the practice.

Express gratitude for your RAV and for your own efforts.

Sound therapy is the easiest and the most natural form of healing. This powerful practice creates the necessary atmosphere for relaxation and energy recharge. After sound therapy sessions one can feel tranquility and serenity. It also boosts productivity and even rejuvenates your mind and body. And because sound therapy with a professional can be costly, you can create your own sessions by purchasing your own RAV Vast and following our simple guide.

We created several RAV scales pitched in 432Hz frequency, specially for spiritual practices, yoga and meditation. The so-called "The Earth's heartbeat" resonates with the human's inner vibrations and by that has even greater meditative effect.

Another instrument in our collection that is popular for everyday practice is RAV Galaxy Drum. It has smaller dimensions and price but has the same high quality of sound. It soothes and captivates with its ‘cosmic’ sound.

Take care!
