Cover Story: The prevalence of anxiety since the emergence of coronavirus disease has increased dramatically; thus, effective relaxation interventions are welcome. The main objective of our study was to compare the acute relaxation effects of Tibetan singing bowl (TSB) sounds against the progressive muscle relaxation technique and a control waiting list group in an adult nonclinical anxious population. In our cross-sectional randomized control trial study, we observed that TSB treatment was able to induce higher parasympathetic activity evidenced by an increase in time/frequency heart rate variability and reductions in neuro-electrical alpha power, both associated with lower self-reported anxiety scores. Complex sounds composed of a base tone merged with several overtones such as TSB might be an innovative and effective intervention in anxiety-related conditions. View this paper
