What is sound HEALING?

It’s all about the vibrations!

Science tells us everything that exists in the universe is vibrating. All that surrounds us are in motion even if the human eye cannot see it. We are constantly moving at every level of being (spirit, soul, mind, emotion and physical body) Lets take a look at the human body, atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, organs = You as a whole organism. Every part of us vibrates at different frequencies.

The human organism is complex to understand to simplify this, our human body contains up to 70% Water. When we throw a rock into the water, enormous ripples vibrate out and when we use sound healing with pure intention our thoughts, prayers, desires are planted. Realigning our vibration.

Sound travels through air then to our ear drums and then it sends a message to our brain which can alter our brainwave states to alpha, theta and delta states. Depending on the sound it can invoke certain emotions unique to each moment-to-moment experience and bodily sensations.

With this intelligence of activating different altered states individuals can access their own natural capabilities to self-regulate, self-heal and assist in their mind-body transformation. As when we are in the alpha-theta state that is when deep healing occurs, our resting and restoring meditative state.

Sound have been used for many centuries in different cultural practices and now this modality is also being used by doctors and physicians to assist in their patients healing journey.

The power of sound – is something to be experienced only then can you understand its healing benefits.

WHAT ARE BRAINWAVE STATES?

One of the ways sound healing therapy works is by synchronising the brainwaves through entrainment - a method to stimulate the brain into entering a specific state of consciousness.

There are 5 main brainwave states

Gamma - heightened perception, learning,problem solving, cognitive processing(thinking/reasoning/remembering)

Beta - alertness, highly focused, actively thinking, problem solving

Alpha - relaxed state of consciousness, reflective, light meditation, stress reduction, positive thinking

Theta - creativity, insight, deep states, dreams, meditative, inner-peace

Delta - deep dreamless sleep, loss of bodily awareness, restorative state, healing

Sound journeys activates the ‘alpha-theta’ state, where deep relaxation, meditative state and healing can occur. Bringing your mental, emotional and physical bodies back into vibrational harmony and natural alignment and balance.

WHAT to expect in a 1:1 session?

The sound facilitator will guide each session with connection and intention. Being clear on the intention is important for the healing. We will spend time to explore these together. There may be resistance and releasing of stagnant energy or trauma in the body or you could feel completely relaxed and fall asleep. Remember that each experience is what you need in that very moment.

HOW TO SET A POWERFUL INTENTION?

Intention setting is one of the most powerful tools available to you. Its your first step in embodying what you desire. If you want to change some aspect of your reality, you must think, feel and act in alignment with your truest intentions.

An intention is a guide in matching to the frequency of how you want to be, live, and show up in the world. Whether in relationships (self, spirituality, family, romantic, community), at work, money or any area in your life.

Intention setting is heart-driven. Ask yourself…

What is important to you?

What makes you feel alive?

What do you want to nurture in your life?

What would you like to let go of?

How do you feel when you practice gratitude?

What are you grateful for?

How do you feel when you are your happiest self?

How do you want to show up today?

Your answers will guide your intention setting.

Examples of intention - Find balance, inner peace, heart expansion, let go of fear, connection to all being, loving awareness, practice of self-love, be present in the moment, to have more freedom, release limiting beliefs.
