Sounds for disconnecting: listening sessions that make well-being easier
The uninterrupted listening of relaxing sounds, which keep the mind occupied and make it easier to enter a state of calm is on the rise.
Meditation, exercises, visualisations, walks and also sounds. One of the trends on the rise in the search for physical and mental well-being consists of listening to relaxing sounds to escape and find this feeling of absolute tranquillity. This type of practice, used by the Australian Aborigine people and the Tibetan monks for centuries, has no scientific basis, although those who practice it, such as the actress Charlize Theron, affirm that it helps with concentration, improves memory and brings a deep state of relaxation and satisfaction. It involves listening sessions, of at least 15 minutes without interruption, of different sounds, such as tuning forks, vocal gongs or Tibetan singing bowls. During the process, the mind remains occupied and concentrated on the sound, which makes it easier to enter a state of calm that helps to fight against anxiety or insomnia, amongst others.
