Science of Sound & Acoustics

“The principle of sound healing is forced resonance.”

Explore the scientific foundations of sound, vibration, resonance and entrainment to understand how singing bowls and gongs produce complex acoustic patterns and how sound and vibration are perceived by the human body. This module connects fundamental acoustics with the proposed mechanisms of therapeutic sound, while also examining scientific evidence, traditional theories and the current limitations of sound-healing research.
