- Binaural Beats
Perhaps one of the most widespread types of sound therapy, binaural beats involve the ear playing two somewhat different frequencies. The brain interprets a third tone- the difference between the two- which may affect brainwave activity. Binaural beats can enhance relaxation, better concentration or sleep, depending on the binaural beat frequency used, and these are necessary to those with depression.
- Tibetan Singing Bowls
Tibetan singing bowls are applied in ancient meditation practices and they produce profound vibrations that leave one relaxed and in the present moment. They are useful in clearing mental clutter, reducing anxiety and creating emotional balance and are played in a therapy session or when one is on a personal meditation. This is a common technique employed in Sound Therapy in the programs of Depression NSW to supplement the conventional therapeutic procedures.
- Music Therapy
Music therapy in contrast to passive listening is directed by a professional therapist and could be listening to music, playing musical instruments or even creating music. It is very personal and has provided great outcomes in treating symptoms of depression especially those who cannot communicate well using words.
- Gong Baths
Gong baths are based on the immersive sound of large gongs in order to provide a meditative and healing experience. Deep vibrations generated by it can even produce a tremendous effect on the nervous system, assisting to relieve emotional clogs and a state of abiding relaxation. These workshops are increasingly becoming popular in wellness centers that provide Sound Therapy to Depression in NSW.
- Nature Vibes and White Noise.
It is easy, but natural sounds such as rain, ocean waves, or forest can be very relaxing to hear. These sounds will make the listener grounded and they are particularly useful in dealing with insomnia and anxiety that comes with depression.
Sound therapy is not a curative measure of coping with the symptoms of depression but rather a value to the individuals whose symptoms are treatable by normal medicine and counselling. Sound healing can be included in your mental health practice, be it with binaural beats, singing bowls, or guided music therapy, and can lead to emotional balance and clarity in you.
