What is Peter Hess® method of Sound Massage?
Peter Hess is a German engineering graduate in Physical Technology who has thoroughly researched the effects of sound on people. Based on his diverse experience, particularly in Nepal and Tibet, he started work with metal singing bowls in 1984.
His sound-massage method has been developed through drawing on ancient eastern practices and modern scientific research into the effects of sound and vibration.
The ancient art of sound healing has been around for more than 5,000 years. In many cultures around the world sound has been used for celebration, ceremony, prayer, medicine and healing, including tribal drumming, gong playing, and voice in chanting and singing. In his many years of practice, Peter has adapted this knowledge for western cultures – the result is the original Peter Hess® method of Sound-Massage.
In Germany, research into the science of sound and its impact on the human body is rapidly advancing and the use of Sound Massage as a complementary therapy in mainstream healthcare is greatly increasing.
Its fields of application extend from the gentle, but highly effective relaxation to the target-oriented application in therapy and as a complementary therapy in healthcare and specialised healthcare professions.The combined sound and vibration can induce a deep sense of meditative relaxation which helps to de-stress mind and body.

What happens during a Peter Hess® sound massage?
During a Peter Hess ® Sound-Massage special singing bowls, the so called Peter Hess® therapy singing bowls, are placed on/around the body and gently tapped with a felt mallet.
- The gentle and harmonious sounds are absorbed through our ears and body that quickly take us into a deep and beneficial relaxation.
- The rhythmic sound oscillations are transmitted to the body and produce a subtle vibration, which is often described as a form of “sound-massage.”
- Sam proces rezonancije zvuka koji se proizvodi tokom zvučne masaže i oseća na našem telu je utemeljen u fizici.
During a Peter Hess ® Sound-Massage an atmosphere of safety and security is created that allows us to let go - letting go of stress, worries, anxieties, doubt, fears and feelings that have a negative effect on our health and our life.
Based on the theory that vibration releases trapped energy that’s been stored around the body, this type of massage uses sound waves to produce gentle rhythmic pulsations. These pulsations or vibrations are strategically sent through the body, massaging the cells, working out any stored up tension. Simultaneously, the range of frequencies emitted by the bowls has a calming effect, drawing the brain into the meditative state.
During normal daily activity, our regular brain frequency is that of Beta. The sounds gently draw the brain, first into the Alfa state and then Theta and Delta, where deep relaxation and meditation occur. Whilst in this deep meditative state, the heart rate slows and the body is able to rejuvenate and find peace of mind.
The Peter Hess® Sound-Massage is, therefore, primary to be seen as a holistic relaxation method that stimulates our physical, emotional and spiritual well being. In the hands of a qualified practitioner, the sound-massage becomes an effective tool in the areas of therapeutic, medical interventions as well as in prevention, pedagogic, counseling/coaching and wellness.
