FAQ
Common questions
Is sound meditation studied scientifically?
Early research exists. Small studies of sound meditation, including singing-bowl and gong sessions, report reduced tension, anxiety, and improved mood immediately afterward. Trials are few, small, and rarely controlled, so lasting effects are unproven. It is reasonable to enjoy for deep relaxation; claims beyond relaxation currently outrun the evidence.
