When done in conjunction with meditation, these tones can lead you into a state of deep relaxation in which healing and connection to a higher consciousness which takes place in the body even on a cellular level.

Waves from the brain in its normal state, i.e. in everyday conscience, produce different waves, which are Alpha, Beta, Theta, & Delta. Alpha waves are present in the states of meditation, calm, & relax. Theta waves are typical for the state of slumber, whereas delta waves are present only during deep sleep. When the waves produced by singing bowls were recorded, scientists discovered the waves were the same as those produced by the brain. These waves give a feeling of relaxation, they are thought to be ‘like those from a singing bowl’ by researchers at the University of Oxford, have been used by people in a study of the brainwaves.

There are two broad ways that you can engage with sound healing. The first involves a session where you receive sounds from the practitioner. The second involves you being a more engaged participant, where you are in a yoga studio in Singapore & practising meditation techniques with sounds which may make you want to sleep! Ask the type of sound bath they offer & what types of instruments they use, with the fact that are they guided or not, if it is beginner friendly. Always seek to speak with the facilitator to get the vibe of who will be running it & have your questions answered. If you like a grand sound bath experience, then you would expect them to have a form of singing bowl gallery of some sort, or a gong gallery etc.
