Sound treatments have a balancing and calming effect, even on people who usually find it difficult to find a way out of stress and tension. The body tambura is a stringed instrument that is placed on the client’s body. When played, the vibration of the instrument is transmitted to the body through direct physical contact, helping to calm the nervous system and release blockages.

Ethereal tones become cloud-like, heart-opening sound structures. These can create a connection with one’s own inner essence as well as an awareness of being connected to a universal force. Due to its immediate access and effect from a place of stillness, the body tambura was originally developed for working with people in a persistent vegetative state and for hospice care.
