At each session, clients relax on a sound-emitting bed while music or therapeutic frequencies play. Vibrations synchronized with sounds activate your parasympathetic nervous system to promote restfulness and recovery.
Contrary to vibration plates which limit lower frequencies, our bed extends all the way up to 1000 Hz for a full and immersive tactile experience. Listeners can feel both the body of a cello and piano.
Relaxation
cultures throughout history have used music and rhythms to induce relaxation or meditative states, with modern vibroacoustic technology carrying on this tradition by employing therapeutic vibrational frequencies to bring about balance within both body and mind. Sound healers have known for centuries that our bodies contain rhythmic music within, so therapeutic vibrations may help retune them when stresses or injuries throw them off key.
Vibroacoustic meditation beds use low-frequency vibrational waves paired with soothing music or tones to activate the parasympathetic “rest and digest” response in your nervous system, providing relief from stress and tension. Furthermore, these vibrations activate natural endorphins and serotonin produced within your body to promote overall well-being and help promote overall well-being.
As you lay back on the therapy bed and close your eyes, sound and vibration envelop you. Sessions typically last 20-40 minutes and include soothing nature sounds, guided meditation or soothing music synchronized with vibrations to provide an immersive and deeply relaxing experience.
Not only can meditation provide physical relaxation, but its gentle vibrational frequencies can retrain your brainwaves into more relaxing patterns – when combined with BrainTap (an established technique to calm and restore balance) this combination becomes the ultimate stress management solution.
Sleeplessness is an all too familiar condition and may stem from factors like stress, physical discomfort or illness. By choosing one of the relaxation beds offered by inHarmony you can choose music mediation designed to promote sleep while its soothing vibrational frequencies lull your body into deep restful restful restful slumber faster while having less interruptions during the night.
Stimulation
Sound has long been used as an effective way to induce tranquillity and meditation, with sound beds using vibrational frequencies to stimulate the body and trigger relaxation responses that help reduce stress hormones and enhance sleep quality. Sound frequencies can be played through specially designed speakers in a cushioned lounge or bed and programmed according to specific therapeutic goals.
These frequencies, when combined with meditation, can produce a deeper and more restorative state by activating the parasympathetic “rest and digest” state. Their vibrations also reverberate throughout your entire body to increase circulation and ease somatic discomfort; additionally, these gentle vibrations may speed up entry to meditation by decreasing cortisol levels faster and improving sensory integration.
Vibro-acoustic therapy uses specific sound frequencies to stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms and can be safely utilized by nearly everyone. As this noninvasive procedure does not have known side effects, this therapy provides a soothing and relaxing experience, and may lead to dream-like or deep meditative states for some clients; others report slowing thinking speeds down while feeling clarity or new insight from this therapy session.
Sage Space Technologies’ OPUS SoundBed offers a fully immersive sound and light experience designed to accelerate entry into deeper meditation states more rapidly. Equipped with both white and colored lighting programming options as well as an energy-balancing sound therapy program tailored specifically to client preferences, this meditation bed helps accelerate progress toward deeper levels of meditation.
One study demonstrated that 20 minutes of vibro-acoustic meditation produced similar EEG results as guided mediation; however, since EEG indices may not accurately represent short-duration changes in cognitive state. Therefore, larger sample size research should be conducted in order to examine longer term and cumulative effects of this modality.
At each session, a practitioner will play soft music while the participant lies down on a mattress and is led through a mindfulness-based meditation or body scan, in which they mentally and physically inspect every inch of their bodies from head to toe, being audibly encouraged to affirm positive self-talk or visual imagery.
Brain Entrainment
The brain produces an electrical response when exposed to rhythmic external stimulation such as sound or light pulses. This response, called cortical evoked responses (CER), allows your brainwaves to sync up with periodic stimuli such as music beats or drumbeats – helping you calm the mind, sleep more soundly and relax quicker. The more often your mind syncs up with these external rhythmic stimuli, the easier it will be for your body and mind to restrain and relax.
Brainwave entrainment refers to any technique for creating synced neuronal oscillations synchronized to perceived frequencies; different techniques offer their own set of advantages and disadvantages for brainwave entrainment. One such popular and widespread technique for brainwave entrainment is binaural beats (BBs). Auditory beats create binaural beats by playing two pure tones of slightly different frequency through stereo headphones in each ear – creating auditory beats which cause our ears to detect beat frequencies; then our neurons synced up to that perceived beat frequency; ultimately neuronal oscillations become synched up with this perceived beat frequency by human auditory.
Studies have demonstrated the power of brain-beating sounds to enhance cognitive performance. One IP-CPT task, a working memory test with a timer, revealed that participants who received gamma BBs performed significantly better than those exposed to pink noise as their control condition. Researchers attribute this result to frequency following response (FFR), in which neurons align their oscillations to match up with periodic stimuli such as beat frequency or frequencies used by periodic stimulus generators.
Another study demonstrated the power of BBs to aid attention by decreasing vigilance decrement during sustained attention tasks, but only under specific parameters; specifically those using low carrier tone gamma BBs with beats covered by white noise (regardless of their beat frequency) had the greatest vigilance-enhancing effects.
Each therapy track includes specific frequencies to coax your brain into various therapeutic states, from sleep (with delta frequency), stress relief (with theta frequency), relaxation (alpha frequency) or even energy boosts (low beta frequencies). Each therapy track also features low frequency sounds designed to vibro-tactilely stimulate cells for increased circulation and decreased pain relief.
Enhanced Focus
Vibration and sound together offer an effective means of meditation. When combined with binaural sounds (perceived through both ears), music, or guided meditation, this vibrational therapy facilitates greater brainwave synchronisation and more focused attention.
While the findings of this study are encouraging, they also present some cautions. For instance, observations that concentration decrease for some meditation participants, even within a guided setting, highlight the need for tailored approaches to meditation for novices. Practitioners must adapt to individual client responses and manage expectations regarding treatment duration – this may mean emphasizing longer sessions or committing to ongoing practice to realize lasting benefits that align with incremental wellbeing improvement through repeated exposure.
Vibroacoustic meditation beds can be programmed with different sound frequencies to meet specific therapeutic goals, such as regulating the nervous system or supporting muscle recovery, deepening meditation experience or deepening mindfulness training, hypnotherapy or bodywork protocols. They may also enhance the sensory experience during professional wellness protocols like mindfulness training, hypnotherapy or bodywork protocols.
Our Vibroacoustic Meditation Bed offers an immersive sound and vibrational healing experience, utilising a custom 8-transducer array to produce a resonant field that encompasses your entire body, eliminating vibrational dead zones while providing consistent autonomic nervous system support. Dual 50W RMS subtransducers deliver deep grounding vibrations between 20Hz-200Hz that resonate through skeletal structure and large muscle groups for an unforgettable healing session.
