About Sounds Healing and How Sounds PLUS Healing Helps!

All About Sound Healing

SOUND HEALING IS THE MEDICINE OF THE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE

SOUND has been an integrated part of the advancement of humans for thousands of years. From everything we sense to everything we feel to everything we see, and to everything we touch…it is entirely made of pure Energy. And these small, dense bits of energy (called particles) vibrate constantly according to the Laws of Creation.

The basic principle about sound healing is the idea that there is a vibratory frequency of any and all objects. This frequency, when in its natural state is known as resonance. In fact, the entire Universe is in a state of continuous vibration. This includes you, me and all living things. Every organ, every cell, every bone, every tissue and every ounce liquid of the human body, and the electromagnetic fields which surround it, has a healthy vibratory frequency. If we are NOT resonating with some part of ourselves or our surroundings, we become dissonant. As a result we become unhealthy. Our naturally healthy frequency becomes that which vibrates without harmony. As a result, we move towards a state of “dis-ease” and ultimately an illness is created.

Sound is measured in terms of Frequency or Hertz (Hz). Frequency, sometimes referred to as pitch, is the number of times per second that a sound pressure wave repeats itself. Humans with normal hearing can hear sounds between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz. Frequencies above 20,000 Hz are known as ultrasound.

MEASURING SOUND

Sound Healing is the application of Healing Frequencies to the physical and subtle energy fields around the body. These healing or therapeutic frequencies and sounds are delivered via live sound therapy sessions (aka sound bath or soundscape) or virtually using the internet using a variety of instruments tuned to specific frequencies. Sound healing tools include things such as Tuning Forks, Tibetan Singing Bowls, Quartz Crystal Bowls, Gongs, Chimes, and Bells as well as those from more Shamanic Sound Healing traditions, such as digeridoo, Native drum, Native flute, rattles and so on. The voice is also a powerful tool when used in speaking affirmations, mantras, signing and humming.

WHAT ARE HEALING FREQUENCIES?

These are frequencies that many therapists, medical practitioners and sound healers have found to be effective in the treatment of different ailments and conditions. Healing frequencies are often based on natural cycles and there are many different opinions about which healing frequencies are most effective. It is with the use of all tools and instruments at a sound healer’s disposal that he/she creates a soundscape and finds a system that best works and ‘resonates’ with their clients.

Natural cycles are cycles that already influence all living things on our planet. These cycles to which our Biorhythms (a recurring cycle in the physiology or functioning of an organism) are tuned when we are in optimum good health. Because sound is measured in cycles per second, any cycle can be converted to audible sound by raising it or lowering many octaves. Healings sounds are those, that through sympathetic resonance, bring the listener and/or client, into harmony with their surroundings, with Nature, with the natural rhythms of Creation and therefore into a relaxed state of health and wellbeing.

WHAT DOES A SOUND HEALER DO?

Sound Healing is a perfectly natural complement to many other types of therapy, having the power to enhance and amplify the healing effects of massage, Reiki, reflexology, crystal and gem therapy, and many others…
A Sound Healer uses their voice and other sound healing instruments and tools such as tuning forks, to help restore balance to the body. These instruments are more powerful than most people realize and also operate on a mental, psychological and energetic level. Sound healing tools are used around and/or directly on the body. On body healing uses tuning forks, singing bowls and crystals.

HOW CAN SOUND HEALING THERAPY HELP ME?

Sound Healing provokes states of deep relaxing where the healing of emotional pain and scars becomes much easier.

Many physical ailments, aches, pains, muscular and connective tissue problems, mobility problems, post-operative recovery, tinnitus and many more serious chronic diseases can all be cured or alleviated by sound therapy. Sound healing aids in easing those with Cancer, Autism, Alzheimer’s, and Dementia.

ALL ABOUT SOUND HEALING – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT CAN I EXPECT UPON ARRIVAL?

Both individual and group sound sessions are created with a harmonious balance of your senses. Lighting will be dimmed to create an ambience, soft background music will be playing, mild incense may be used, and a relaxing environment with a place for you to lie or sit down.

CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE SOUND HEALING EXPERIENCE?

Unique. One of a Kind. No two are the same. It is safe to say that the sound healing experience is special and its impact is different for every person, every time. It is very common to process a large range of emotions, anywhere from laughing or crying. You may enter a state of euphoria. Sometimes there may be the sensation as though you may have fallen asleep but it is more likely that the brain waves have actually slipped out of beta state to alpha and even reach delta (sleep state, where internal healing can occur). In the end you will come away feeling more relaxed, grounded and centered.

HOW TO I GET THE MOST OUT OF A SESSION?

To start the session we will go through some calming exercises that focus on unconditional love by setting a clear intention, a few breathing exercises to induce relaxation and receptivity, and a guided meditation. That’s when you are really freeing your spirit and opening yourself up to receive the actual vibrations. It’s about focusing on that energy and on the intention that we set at the beginning of the session. Keeping your heart open and intention in mind.

AM I LISTENING TO MUSIC?

Yes. And No. You are not listening to music in the formal sense yet the sounds come from instruments, as well as my voice (and your own). Often the sounds don’t incorporate a specific melody, harmony, rhythm or arrangements like music does. However, there are a few exceptions such as rhythmic drumming. The less-structured sounds in a soundscape help you listen without judgement. Our soundscapes remove the desire for reaction and analysis that you might have with a song, and allow the listener to go deeper into their own experience. It is about being in the present moment!

IS A SOUNDSCAPE THE SAME AS MEDITATION?

Sound healing is NOT meditation as you may traditionally think of it, but the Sounds PLUS Healing soundscape experience can be helpful for anyone who wants to access the benefits of meditation or a moment of relaxation. Instead of a meditative practice that requires you to sit up straight or have a point of focus or recite a complicated mantra or count your breaths, all you have to do during a soundscape is listen. Sound is ephemeral – this particular sound is only happening right now – and thus an awareness of each sound helps you connect to the present moment, and explore mindfulness. This experience can be beneficial for both beginners of meditation and experienced meditators.

WILL A SOUND BATH HELP ME SLEEP?

Many of our clients tell us they have had a “good night’s sleep” after a Sounds PLUS soundscape. And very often this feeling extends into a calm and centered feeling the next day. Our soundscapes also bring about a reflective, self-healing state and invite calm into your daily life, and further promote healthy sleep.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR / BRING?

Please dress comfortably. Highly recommended are mats (yoga mats are beset) and blankets for you to lay on and feel free to bring a small billow, eye covering or anything else that will help you to feel more comfortable.

I AM NOT COMFORTABLE OR ABLE TO LAY ON THE FLOOR, SHOULD I STILL COME TO A SOUND BATH?

Lying on the floor is one way to experience a Sound Bath. If this is not possible, you are also welcome to sit on a cushion or chair.

CAN CHILDREN COME TO A SOUND BATH?

Sessions are primarily designed for adults however when we offer a program that allow children we will happily welcome kids of all ages are welcome. Many kids have enjoyed the experience yet for some children, being quiet and still for any length of time is difficult and movement, fidgeting or talking is disruptive to other participants. You know about your child and his/her behavior’s best.
