Sometimes we can feel it directly: just a little more, and we will explode. The phone will fly into the wall, and the cup will hit the floor. You are not to blame. It’s just that in the harsh rhythm, constant stress, deadlines, and multitasking, our psyche does not have time to recover.
“Inside us, there are two powerful and opposing forces: the sympathetic part of the nervous system is our internal 'gas', while the parasympathetic is our internal 'brake'. Due to processing large volumes of information, the sympathetic system operates almost continuously. It is overloaded and creates constant tension,” says Irina Kotova, a Hatha yoga instructor and yoga therapist.
It is better not to reach the point where someone's innocent remark or mistake provokes your hysteria. There are ways to quickly reset the nervous system and maintain balance.
How to Calm Down Quickly
“Sound waves and vibrations help bring the nervous system into balance. They activate those parts of the nervous system that help release internal blocks and harmonize many processes in the body. High-frequency sounds calm, create a sense of mental equilibrium, help release negative emotions, and normalize hormonal levels,” the expert explains.
What can you do during storms and transformations? Retreat. Go deeper. It’s less turbulent there.
Sound is your personal therapist. The right level of vibration can relax the mind and ground you in just 10-15 minutes. It is important to expand your repertoire, sound palette, range, and toolkit. Sensory diversity provides the psyche with adaptability to different situations and circumstances in life.
Top 3 Sound Healing Practices Accessible to Everyone
1. Joy Playlist
This is an emotional shower, first aid, and a minimum hygiene requirement. Create a separate personal joy or release playlist. It is important to give space to the stirring emotion, experience it, and let it go as soon as possible.
“This is a simple but very effective method that allows you to shift your focus in time and withstand pressure. And most importantly — to raise your vibration levels here and now. It’s ideal to connect spontaneous dance to the listening experience. This will help you experience and release emotions through the body,” advises the yoga instructor.
2. Healing with Your Own Voice
How does it work? For example, you can rewrite a limiting belief and record new scenarios, settings, and affirmations in your own voice tailored to your specific situation. Model a new reality by regularly listening to the recordings and resetting mental programs.
3. Singing
“When we sing, the vagus nerve is activated, which reduces the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. The vocal cords vibrate, and we literally massage this nerve, which in turn sends impulses to the internal organs, signaling that we are safe and can relax,” Irina Kotova explains.
This happens, for example, during mantra singing. In yoga tradition, a mantra is a tool for spiritual practice: an ancient sacred phrase in Sanskrit that praises gods and higher powers, helping to calm the mind. Yoga practitioners believe that when a person focuses on repeating these vibrations, they themselves fill with divine qualities.
“During spiritual practices, singing mantras or prayers, high-frequency melodies help open the heart, establish contact between the soul and body, and hear answers to one’s questions,” says the specialist.
Emotional detox is not a luxury but a daily hygiene of the soul. Just 15 minutes of sound healing — and the nervous system resets. You regain calmness, joy, and inner strength. Start today: create your joy playlist and let the vibrations heal you.
