Tibetan singing bowls are said to help the brain move into Theta brain wave frequencies, gently shifting the mind into a deeper meditative state. Theta State is a state of very deep relaxation; it is used in hypnosis and during REM sleep. Theta brain waves can be considered the subconscious; they govern the part of our mind that lies between the conscious and the unconscious, and retain memories and feelings. Dr Thomas Budzynski, one of the world’s foremost authorities on bio-feedback, said that Theta brain waves produce “a sensation of detached relaxation” with “results ranging from… drowsy, (hypnotic) like states, to vivid, holograph-like images”.
