Sound Therapy
It is a well known fact that our universe is created through patterns of frequency and science is now documenting what ancient cultures have known for centuries. Everything that exists on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level vibrates at a particular frequency. Holistic therapies such as Reiki, sound, light, crystal therapy and other energy medicine techniques influence the body by somehow altering its frequency resonance.
The effects of sound are obvious in our every day life. When hear music with a heavy beat for example we experience an energizing effect. Not only does sound affect our state of mind but it can actually be used to improve our health.
Before a Sound Therapy session begins you will be asked a few questions relating to your medical history and current state of health and a scan of your energy system with sound will be carried out before the treatment to highlight any energetic imbalances. This gives the Sound Therapist an indication of where to direct the sounds and which sounds to use. You will then be made comfortable on a couch and all you need to do then is relax and enjoy the wonderful soothing sounds are played around you.
The Sound Therapist might use Himalayan bowls, voice (toning and overtoning), crystal bowls, the gong, tuning forks, drums, mantra or sound essences to treat the imbalances that they find and will scan again at the end of the treatment to see what has changed.
Tuning Forks
You can tune your body like you tune a piano so that it can achieve optimal physical balance. The use of various types of tuning forks will instantaneously alter the body's biochemistry and bring the nervous system, muscle tone and organs into harmonic balance. The body will enter a deep state of relaxation and a feeling of being centered and at peace will prevail. The benefits of this form of sound therapy are:
- it will induce states of deep relaxation
- reduces stress instantaneously
- increases blood flow
- enhances the immune response
- fully integrates the body and mind
- Improves mental clarity and brain functioning
- Increases the level of physical energy and mental concentration
- Integrates left and right brain thought patterns
- Enhances massage, acupressure, dreamwork and meditation
Drumming
Repetitive drumming slows down the rhythm of the brain helping us to experience trance like states, allowing healing to take place. The regular rhythm of the drumbeat will entrain the heart and breathing rate aiding relaxation.
Voice
Research in the US has shown that certain sounds are under stress in our voices and that these sounds correspond to imbalances in our bodies. Changing the voice pattern changes the brain wave frequencies and reduces illness. By removing the stress frequencies in the voice we can help to reduce high blood pressure and it has been found to have helped diabetes, emphysema and eye problems, speeded up the body's healing and has been shown to reduce pain.
Singing Bowls
Crystal singing bowls are pure healing light and resonate in perfect balance and harmony just like a crystal. Their sound is absorbed on a physical, spiritual, mental and emotional level, which facilitates healing.
