History and Effects of Sound Massage
Sound massage is based on ancient knowledge of healing with sound used in India since 5000 years. According to Eastern ideas man was created out of sound, i.e. he IS sound. If we are "in tune" with ourselves and our environment, then we are able to live our life freely and creatively.
Since the early eighties, the German engineering graduate (FH) in Physical Technology Peter Hess, born 1941, has been studying radiesthesia (the science of assessing energy). He did a series of investigations on places of force in Wales and in Nepal. In 1984 he started looking more and more into the effect of sound on people. Based on his manifold experience with sound, particularly in Nepal and Tibet, he started to work with singing bowls.
Investigations and experiments on the effects of traditional music on the human mind and body form the basis for sound massage. In the course of many years of practice, Peter Hess has adapted this knowledge to the Western culture. The result of this work is the Peter Hess-Sound Massage.

Peter Hess ® Sound Massage:
In 1984, the former physical technology engineer, Peter Hess, began to develop what today is referred to as the Peter Hess Sound Massage and Sound Methods. In his search for alternative healing methods he traveled on more than one occasion to India, Nepal, and Tibet. It was during these trips when he was first introduced to healing with sound. Today, the Peter Hess® Sound Massage is used successfully by many professionals in the fields of education, counseling, therapy and medicine. The comprehensive training courses offered by the Peter Hess Institute range from beginners to advanced to highly specialized training and reflect the many possibilities of how sound massage, sound methods, and singing bowls can be integrated into professional areas— ranging from childbirth to student counseling, relaxation to stress prevention, coaching and therapy all the way to accompaniment of death.
