At every
point of our daily lives, sounds affect us. For example, many sounds affect
every point of our lives whether it is the sound of our morning alarm or the
sound of footsteps. It is also observed that some sounds give us peace of mind,
affect us positively and improve our wellbeing. For this reason, it is also
possible to create a peaceful environment using sounds during meditation and to
easily get away from the unpleasant noise of the city.
There
lies the harmonious way that vibrations come together in the heart of the
sounds of nature while bringing us good feelings, joy, well-being, and harmony.
This harmony, on the other hand, can be expressed from a philosophical point of
view as the most important source of peace and the independence of the
universe. However, if the vibrations cannot achieve harmony, this situation
turns into a chaos of incompatible sounds, evoking negativity which can damage
a person's inner peace. This negativity can reveal the thoughts in an
individual's subconsciousness and drag that person into an unstable or restless
mood which can damage the peace of a person's inner world.
For this
reason, listening to harmonious and light sounds, especially during meditation,
is a more accurate approach. As an example of these light sounds that should be
listened to when meditating, you may choose sounds from nature such as the
sound of rain, tree branches, and wind. Because nature has the greatest
harmony, and the basis of meditation is based on nature.
Why and
How Is Sound Meditation Done?
Sound meditation depends on light vibrations and
is done with selected instruments focused on the problem. These instruments of
various tones might be listed as gong, drums, Himalayan bowls, crystal bowls,
and mbira. In particular, gongs are one of the sounds that are often listened
to during sound meditations because they are considered to have vibrations that
are compatible with the vibrations of the universe. Because at the heart of
meditation, lies the goal of becoming one with the universe. When the sounds of
the universe are captured at the same frequency as the vibrations of the
universe, changes are felt with the beginning of a structure where inner peace
and wishes come true.
The
purpose of sound meditations is to try to connect you with the vibrations of
the universe by integrating your brain waves with the vibrations of the
instrument. Because the awareness levels of individuals who are integrated with
the vibrations of the universe increase greatly, and it becomes possible to
make the principle of a spiritual journey to find oneself come true.
In
addition, sound meditation is among the most preferred types of meditation
because it has a structure that allows individuals to relax. This is possible
because individuals are sometimes stripped of reality by the sound of the sea
or sometimes wind, and generally get caught up in a softer reality. This
engagement marks the beginning of the spiritual adventure which is the main
purpose of meditation and with the notes that reach harmonious vibrations, it
represents the essence that flows into their inner peace.
