At The County Care Home, we're always looking for innovative ways to enhance the well-being of our residents and recently we introduced sound bowl therapy.
Sound bowls have been used for centuries to promote relaxation and healing. The gentle vibrations created by the instruments can have a profound impact on the mind and body. For our residents, who may experience stress, anxiety, or discomfort, the soothing sounds of the sound bowls offer a much-needed escape.
During our sound bowl sessions, residents were invited to simply relax. As the tones filled the room, we observed a noticeable shift in the atmosphere. Some residents closed their eyes and drifted off to sleep, while others seemed to experience a deep sense of calm and peace. We also had a bit of fun at the end experimenting with the sounds bowls and other the instruments that were used in the session!
We believe that incorporating sound bowl therapy into our care home routine has numerous benefits. It can help to:
Reduce stress and anxiety: The calming vibrations can help to lower cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress.
Improve sleep quality: Regular sound bowl sessions can promote relaxation and prepare the body for restful sleep.
Enhance mood: The gentle sounds can uplift spirits and create a positive atmosphere.
Stimulate the senses: The auditory experience can be particularly beneficial for residents with sensory impairments.
The feedback we received from our residents and staff was very positive and everyone felt that the sound bowl sessions were a valuable addition to our care home. We will definitely be doing it again and will recommend it to the other Sanville Group homes!
