We know that uncontrolled stress can wreak havoc on our bodies both mentally and physically.
When stress is uncontrolled, mental problems may occur such as anxiety, and depression. Physical
symptoms may include headache, stomach pain, chest pain and problems sleeping. When not
addressed stress can worsen these symptoms and cause diseases in the body. The purpose of this
study is to further research the effects of different sound tools such as singing bowls, tuning forks,
chimes, rain sticks and tingshas, and the effects they have on mood, stress, physical pain and overall
wellbeing. The research attempted to compare if adding different sound tools to the group
meditation would effected or change the overall outcome of stress and pain.
