Waves are energy in motion. All matter vibrates at a specific frequency through which it can both influence and be influenced by all other matter. Everything on the planet and beyond can be considered interconnected through resonance.

There are two main theories which detail how sound can facilitate healing. 

1. If a human organ vibrates at a frequency disharmonious with its surrounding environment, it is unable to absorb energy as efficiently and becomes vulnerable to disease. Vibrational energy practitioners can then target specific areas of the body to restore them to their natural states, in harmony with other biological systems.
2. Sound vibrations act to clear channels of transport within the cell, helping the movement of energy across the cell membrane and making it easier for cells to receive.

In a typical sound healing procedure, practitioners select several instruments and/or devices to use in a 30 or 60-minute therapy session. 

To achieve a greater state of relaxation, participants / patients lie on a table or floor, while others prefer to sit. Practitioners then apply sound in their chosen modality to create a sound bath or specifically over the chakras (energy centres) and other trigger points on the body.
