About Sound Healing

Sound healing is "...the practice of using sound and listening in a mindful manner to transform and expand consciousness in order to
enhance  our body's natural drive to regenerate and heal itself."
Beaulieu and Perez-Martinez

Re-tuning

Our bodies have a pulse, rhythm, and vibratory signature of health and well-being. Just as musical instruments require regular tuning, so, too, do our bodies. Highly sensitive to sound, we are tuned by our surroundings, often to our detriment, but we can learn to tune ourselves in spite of our surroundings. We can “tune in to tune up,” which is the process of self-regulation.

Sound healing is a valuable self-regulation tool, and the Sound Awakenings method is both vibroacoustic and psychoacoustic. It supports relaxation and a balanced, healthy nervous system while also quieting the ever-active mind, supporting clarity, creativity, and connection.

As we tune in and tune up, shifting from the lower vibrational frequencies of negativity, stress, anger, fear, and dis-ease to a higher frequency, we are reminded of our perfect tuning at the cellular level, creating harmony that radiates through the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies.

What to expect in a session:

• We invite clients to set their intentions, as they rest in a comfortable posture on the massage table or the cushioned floor, surrounded by the singing bowls.

• Specific sound patterns, guided breath practices, and energy healing techniques invite relaxation and presence.

•We often play bowls on the body to deepen relaxation and support healing.

• A BioMat can be added to the session, free of charge.

We uniquely tailor each sound session to meet the frequency and intention of the client. The sound of the bowls changes throughout the session, and these subtle shifts help us determine which bowls and protocols to utilize to support the client’s intentions.

Well-being:

As Dr. Mitchell Gaynor wrote in The Healing Power of Sound, “Sound is both a manifestation of breath and a means to revitalize it, with far-reaching consequences for people’s well-being and recovery.”

A session supports both the physical breath and the “mental breath,” inviting quiet spaciousness that affords an opportunity for our full being to pause, reset, and remember that which is right within us. 

This vibrational balm for the exhausted, stressed, or wounded psyche is also an effective form of preventative care.

The number of sessions needed varies per client. Some come monthly or bi-monthly as a practice of self-care, while others come every few months, and some feel complete after one session.
