A Study on Effect of Singing Bowl Sound Meditation on Body Relaxation
Keywords:
Singing Bowl, Sound Meditation, Relaxation, EEG, Pulse Wave, Average Pulse Rate, StressAbstract
The Singing Bowl, a bowl-shaped tool originating from Tibet, India, and Nepal, emits sounds that relax the body through synchronization. Singing Bowl sound meditation is a therapy that combines these sounds and meditation. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Singing Bowl sound meditation on brain waves and pulse waves, which are physiological indicators. The Singing Bowl sound meditation and music relaxation were applied to experimental and control groups just once for 20 minutes. The results showed that there were statistically significant changes in physiological indicators related to stress and anxiety in the experimental group compared to the control group. It is expected that various relaxation programs using the sound of singing bowls will be activated in the future.
