The melodious harmony of the instruments chiming together improves mental clarity, restores inner balance, and curbs all negative thoughts. The instruments such as sound healing bowls are carefully chosen and played in such a harmonious manner that the rhythms of the sound waves are in sync. These waves are meant to help balance the flow of energy in our bodies and keep any unwanted thoughts at bay.
