A sound healing session is essentially:

A structured way to put your brain into a relaxed, inward, semi-dreamlike state using sound instead of effort.

That state can feel profound because your brain doesn’t spend much time there in everyday life.

Well supported

Stress reduction
Attention modulation
Mild altered states of conscious

How it compares to meditation

Both reduce activity in the default mode network
Both can increase alpha/theta brainwaves
Both promote parasympathetic activation

Key differences

Meditation usually requires active mental training (focus on breath, thoughts, etc.)
Sound healing is more passive—the sound does the attentional work for you

Meditation you train your attention
Sound healing your attention is gently guided for you

Your nervous system downshifts

The steady, non-threatening sensory input can activate the parasympathetic nervous system.

That leads to

Slower heart rate
Deeper breathing
Reduced muscle tension

This is the same general pathway involved in many relaxation techniques.

Your brainwaves may slow down

Your brain naturally syncs loosely with external rhythms, a process called brainwave entrainment.

You might shift toward

Alpha waves relaxed, awake (common in light meditation)
Theta waves dreamlike, introspective (borderline sleep state)

This is why people sometimes report

Vivid imagery
Time distortion
Feeling “somewhere between awake and asleep”
