What is Sound Meditation?

Sound meditation is a type of meditation that helps you focus with the use of bells, chimes, bowls, and other instruments. It brings a feeling of awareness because you use your sense of hearing to relax your mind and body. If you are beginning to practice meditation, you might like sound meditation. You can ring your bell, chime, or other instruments every thirty seconds or up to three minutes for concentration.
