R U Ready for a Sound Healing Session?
How often have you turned on the radio and heard a song that made you bounce in your seat? How about the feeling you get when you hear the sound of a soldier playing taps? What about the amazing chills that run up the back of your spine when a good gospel singer lets it rip? Do you see just by these examples how powerfully sound can affect you – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually?
Everything in the Universe is vibrating – every atom, every molecule, even you – remember your high school science? Everything that vibrates emits some kind of a sound and the sound waves travel and interact with each other throughout the space time continuum – ever since that first sound – the sound of the big bang – in some ancient traditions the sound of OM – the first, sacred, seed sound that birthed our universe into being.
When we are out of tune, dissonant, or out of harmony with our environment, we begin to feel ill at ease and can begin fairly quickly to display signs of illness or dis-ease. Sound therapy is a marvelous way to re-attune and re-harmonize ourselves with our environment and return to a natural and healthy state of being
Sound has long been used in the medical community to see inside (Ultrasound) and to return the body to a state of wellness. Sound therapy is an ancient practice designed to return the client or patient to a state of harmony and balance. There are some fundamental principals behind the practice and why it is effective. Harmonics, resonance and entrainment are three of these principals. Harmonics is the expression of the same note or sound vibration at a higher frequency than the fundamental note. Resonance is a matching of frequencies with the natural frequency. Entrainment is the matching of brain waves to a desired frequency. All of this is interesting “left brained” information but is not necessary to learn or know about in order to receive the maximum benefits of a session.
Many sound healing practitioners have been formally or informally trained as musicians however this isn’t a required qualification to an effective session or practitioner. There are also many in the field who are naturally ordained and intuitively gifted who can be even more powerful healers because they have opened themselves to Spirit as the guiding force for the session.
Some of the many tools that can be used to facilitate sound healing include rattles, bells, chimes, gongs, tuning forks, metal or crystal singing bowls, the didgeridoo and the human voice. Each of these tools have differing uses within a session. Most sound healing sessions are intuitively driven and the healer will be “called” to use differing beats, rhythms, sounds and volumes in each unique circumstance since no two people have the exact same vibration or issues to be resolved. No matter what is used you are sure to leave the session feeling shifted at a very profound level.
Working with sacred sound to heal, balance and harmonize is beautiful, natural and restorative – people can really feel the difference within after a sound session – it’s easy to receive – plus it’s fun!
