About Sound Healing

Sound healing is a holistic therapeutic practice that uses the power of sound, music, and vibrations to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Sound healing is often considered a form of vibrational or energy medicine. It operates on the idea that everything in the universe is in a state of vibration, including our bodies. When our vibrations are out of balance or harmony, it can lead to physical and emotional ailments. Sound healing seeks to restore or rebalance these vibrations.

Sound healers use a variety of instruments to create specific sounds and vibrations. Common instruments include Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, tuning forks, drums, chimes, and various string instruments. Each instrument produces unique tones and frequencies believed to have specific healing properties.

Binaural beats are a popular component of sound healing. They are created by playing two slightly different frequencies in each ear, which the brain perceives as a third, "beat" frequency. The theory is that listening to binaural beats can help synchronize brainwaves and induce states of relaxation or meditation.

The human voice is also an essential tool in sound healing. Chanting, toning, and singing specific sounds or mantras are used to create resonance within the body and mind. These vocal techniques are thought to promote healing and balance.

Sound healing often revolves around the concept of resonance. It is believed that different frequencies can resonate with various parts of the body and energy centers (chakras). By exposing a person to specific frequencies, sound healers aim to stimulate healing in particular areas.

Sound healing sessions typically involve participants lying down or sitting in a relaxed position. The sounds and vibrations produced by the instruments or the healer's voice are used to guide participants into deep states of relaxation or meditation. This state of relaxation is thought to enhance the body's natural healing processes.

Important Notes & Contraindications:

• It is highly recommended to be well-hydrated (with water) for sound bath sessions.

• Consumption of alcohol: Alcoholic beverages with a sound bath, before or after, is not advised. Alcohol dehydrates the body - the human body is generally 60-70% water; the sound vibrations travel through the cells of the body supporting the body’s natural detoxing processes - with the help of water. To get the full benefit of the session, hydrate well (with water) before and after the session.

• Pregnancy: Not recommended during the first trimester - avoid loud, low, deep tones (such as from gongs).

• Sound-induced epilepsy: Sound healing/sound baths are not recommended.

• Sound healing/sound baths are not recommended for those who have a history of severe depression, psychosis, and other serious mental health challenges.

• Individual experiences may vary.

Everyone’s experience can be different. Some may find they’re feeling effects physically/emotionally more than others. Properly hydrating with water before and after the sound bath experience can greatly help the body process the benefits of the sound healing experience.

Every sound bath experience can be different and may express different results — multiple recipients attending the same sound bath session may have completely different experiences. This may be due to a multitude of reasons and may be unique to our life journeys.
