Can Sound Healing Techniques Cleanse Your Aura (Energy) And Eliminate Negativity?
According to an article published by The Times Of India, Sound Healing is one of the most effective methods for aura cleansing (source). Sound, for centuries, has been considered a bridge between the tangible and the intangible, a powerful force that moves through air, water, and matter, capable of influencing both the physical and subtle dimensions of human life.
Ancient traditions are deeply rooted in utilising sound as an important element that could permeate through the human body and heal it. Right from the Vedic mantras to the Tibetan Singing Bowls to the Shamanic Drumming practiced by the Native Americans to Gong Baths that was widely used in the East and South East Asia, sound has been a means of spiritual cleansing and healing.
Today, science is beginning to understand what mystics have known intuitively: that sound has the power to recalibrate the nervous system, regulate emotions, and shift our energetic state. Various cultures have used sound as a healing energy which various studies are pursuing now.
Sound Healing and Neuroscience:
From a neurological perspective, sound directly interacts with the brain’s auditory pathways, influencing perception, mood, and physiological regulation. According to a study (Source) low frequency sound vibration can potentially stimulate neurite outgrowth and neural differentiation. When sound waves enter the ear, they are translated into electrical signals by the cochlea and transmitted to the auditory cortex. Beyond simple hearing, these signals branch into neural networks that govern memory, emotions, and autonomic processes.
This is how rhythmic drumming or chanting can entrain brain waves into slower frequencies such as theta (4–7 Hz) and delta (0.5–4 Hz), states associated with deep relaxation and meditation. Research (source) in neuroscience shows that music and tonal frequencies modulate neurotransmitters like dopamine which modulates musical reward experience, it also spikes serotonin, a chemical tied to pleasure, motivation, and mood stabilization. This biochemical shift demonstrates how sound can effectively “reset” the brain’s internal chemistry, leading to a cleansing of stress or energetic stagnation.
Sound healing cleanses energy not as a mystical abstraction but as a tangible recalibration of neural and biochemical processes that govern our state of being.
Neuroacoustics:
Neuroacoustics is an emerging field that studies how specific sounds influence brain function (Source). It draws from psychoacoustics (the perception of sound) and applies these principles to healing and therapy. Our brain produces electromagnetic signals and various frequencies are produced depending on the neural activity, and neuroacoustics can deliver these frequencies back to the brain.
Binaural beats, where two slightly different frequencies are presented to each ear, the brain perceives the difference between the two frequencies as a beat, such as 5 Hz, and synchronizes its activity accordingly, a phenomenon called brainwave entrainment. Binaural beats in its delta and theta brainwave ranges are associated with a deep meditative state.
Neuroacoustic therapy is already being explored in clinical contexts, such as reducing anxiety before surgery, aiding sleep disorders, and supporting patients with PTSD. Sound healing is practiced to balance an individual’s sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous activity.
Affective Science and Affective Acoustics:
Energy cleansing is often described in terms of emotional release, that is letting go of fear, stress, or tension that weighs down the psyche. According to studies (source) ambient sound events may carry emotional information.
Affective acoustics examines how sound stimuli shape emotional states. Minor keys, slow tempos, and dissonant tones can evoke sadness or tension, while harmonious chords, uplifting melodies, and resonant overtones often trigger joy, peace, or transcendence. According to the philosopher Plato, “Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination….” Neuroscientific imaging has shown that emotionally charged music activates the amygdala (the brain’s emotional hub), the ventral striatum (reward centre), and even the hippocampus (memory integration).
Sound healing uses these emotional cues deliberately. A gong bath immerses you in sound vibrations produced by the gong, these vibrations overwhelm the auditory field with cascading overtones, often leading to release of tears, laughter, or a profound sense of surrender. This cathartic process can be viewed as an “emotional detox,” aligning well with the concept of cleansing energy. By altering affective states, these blissful therapies interrupt habitual emotional loops and allow new neural and energetic patterns to emerge.
Vibroacoustics:
According to a study (Source) published by the University of Denmark, Vibroacoustic Sound Massage (VSM) has been useful in tackling with stress and other mental and physiological ailments. While sound is often considered intangible, it is, in fact, a physical vibration moving through matter. Vibroacoustics is the study of how sound vibrations influence the body directly, particularly through low-frequency, using the principles of biosignals of Speech Prosody.
Clinical vibroacoustic therapy often uses frequencies between 30–120 Hz transmitted through special beds or chairs that resonate through the body. Studies show that vibroacoustic stimulation can reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and even alleviate chronic pain. For example, low-frequency sound has been shown to stimulate the vagus nerve, a key regulator of the parasympathetic nervous system, which governs relaxation and recovery.
Vibration is considered as the atomic core of all existence, therefore, vibrations in a human body can facilitate both cellular and sensory perceptions. When we talk about cleansing energy, vibroacoustics provides a physical correlate: the vibrations penetrate tissues, dissolve muscular rigidity, and create somatic release. The “stuck energy” that many describe in terms of blockages or heaviness may, in physiological terms, correspond to muscular contraction, stress hormones, and restricted circulation. In fact, today, the aerospace industry (Source) is utilizing and pursuing the importance of vibroacoustics in launching spaceships.
What is Frequency Mapping?
Every organ, tissue, and system in the body operates within specific vibrational frequencies. Many researchers are trying to hypothesize how low frequency vibrations can impact various cognitive ailments, one of which being fibromyalgia. Fibro Frequency mapping refers to the study of how different frequencies correlate with bodily and psychological functions. The human heart emits measurable electromagnetic frequencies, and the brain produces oscillations at distinct Hertz ranges depending on cognitive state.
Sound healing modalities often claim that disease or imbalance corresponds to a loss of vibrational harmony. By reintroducing pure frequencies through instruments such as tuning forks, crystal bowls, or chimes, practitioners aim to “retune” the body back to its optimal vibrational state. Scientific exploration in this area is still nascent, but early studies suggest that specific frequencies can stimulate cellular processes such as nitric oxide release, which enhances immune function and circulation.
Physical Frequency Mapping:
| Physiology / Condition | Frequency (MH) |
| Genius Brain Frequency | 80–82 MHz |
| Brain Frequency Range | 70–90 MHz |
| Normal Brain Frequency | 72 MHz |
| Human Body | 62–78 MHz |
| Human Body (Neck up) | 72–78 MHz |
| Human Body (Neck down) | 60–68 MHz |
| Thyroid and Parathyroid glands | 62–68 MHz |
| Thymus gland | 65–68 MHz |
| Heart | 67–70 MHz |
| Lungs | 58–65 MHz |
| Liver | 55–60 MHz |
| Pancreas | 60–80 MHz |
| Diseased Body | |
| Colds and Flu start | 57–60 MHz |
| Disease starts | 58 MHz |
| Candida overgrowth starts | 55 MHz |
| Receptive to Epstein Barr | 52 MHz |
| Receptive to Cancer | 42 MHz |
| Death Begins | 25 MHz |
Frequency mapping also resonates with the chakra model of energy centers, where each center corresponds to a vibrational range. There are primarily 7 chakras in our body, and these are the energy ecosystems. Many individuals report subjective experiences of clarity, release, or balance when exposed to tones associated with these frequencies.

Your aura is the energy that surrounds your body, and every individual has a different colour associated with their aura. It is important to clear any blockages from your chakras in order to cleanse your aura. Sound is more than an auditory phenomenon, it interfaces with the deepest layers of human existence. Neuroscience and neuroacoustics reveal how it restructures the brain; affective acoustics show how it transforms emotions; vibroacoustics demonstrates its tangible effects on the body; and frequency mapping provides a framework for understanding its harmonizing potential. Vibrations penetrate into the biofield and remove stagnant or negative energy.
The Institute of Sound Healing is India’s leading sound healing school. We conduct large sessions to employ the benefits of vibration to clear blockages, release toxins and for cellular and lymphatic detoxification. In a recent transformative session, we brought together over 1,000 participants for an immersive three-hour journey, conducted alongside 50 trained healers. What unfolded was nothing short of profound. Within the first 10–15 minutes, many participants began reporting sensations of lightness, release, and inner clarity, these are indicators of a deep cellular detox process initiated by our brain entrainment protocol.

Brain entrainment through sound works by gently synchronizing brainwave activity with specific frequencies produced by instruments such as tuned singing bowls, gongs, and bells. As the brain attunes to these rhythms, it shifts into states of deep relaxation and coherence, activating the body’s natural ability to heal and restore balance. This subtle reorganization at the neurological level creates ripple effects at the cellular level, allowing the release of stagnant energy, toxins, and emotional blockages stored in the body.
The collective presence of 50 healers amplified the vibrational field, creating a powerful resonance that enveloped every participant. This environment of entrainment, intention, and sound waves acted like a cleansing current, flushing out heaviness and recharging participants with renewed vitality. For many, this experience was described as a much-needed reset. You can also be a part of this journey and immersive yourself in a journey of cellular resonance, where every cell in your body where every cell in your body vibrates with a certain frequency and restore balance in your body.
