Sound Healing

A sound healing session is a therapeutic practice that uses sound and vibrations to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The session may involve various instruments such as singing bowls, tuning forks, rattles, or chimes. These vibrations are believed to resonate with the body’s energy, harmonizing imbalances and fostering relaxation.

​

What Happens During a Sound Healing Session?

• First, we will discuss your intentions, goals, or specific concerns (e.g., stress, emotional release, physical discomfort).

• Next, you lie down comfortably on a mat. Alternatively, you may sit in a relaxed position.

• Your head will be wrapped, covering the eyes to encourage going inward.

• Blankets or cushions will be provided for added comfort, as the goal is to create a safe and nurturing space.

• The session begins with gentle tones to ease you into relaxation.

• I will guide you through deep breathing to prepare your mind and body for the experience.

• The session often concludes with softer, calming sounds to help you transition back to a grounded state.

• You may be encouraged to remain still and reflect for a few moments. Lastly, we will briefly discuss your experience and I will offer insights or self-care tips to enhance the session's effects.

Sound Healing Techniques:

• Instruments: A variety of tools may be used, each with a specific purpose:

• Singing bowls (crystal): Placed near or on the body to create soothing tones and vibrations.

• Tuning forks: Emit precise frequencies to target specific areas of imbalance.

• Chimes or bells: Provide gentle, high-frequency tones that uplift and clear energy.

• Drums or rattles: Facilitate grounding and energy movement.

• The sounds are played rhythmically or intuitively, often in layers, to create a therapeutic soundscape.

Who Should Not Get Sound Healing (or Should Exercise Caution)

• Individuals with Sound Sensitivities:

• People who are hypersensitive to sound may find certain frequencies or instruments overwhelming or uncomfortable.

• Those with Hearing Impairments or Tinnitus:

• High-pitched tones, such as those from chimes, or singing bowls, may aggravate tinnitus or create discomfort for those with specific hearing challenges. However, some find it beneficial depending on the method, so consultation is key.

• Those with epilepsy or a history of seizures should consult their doctor before participating, as certain frequencies or vibrations may act as triggers.

• While many aspects of sound healing are safe during pregnancy, powerful vibrations should be avoided during the first trimester or later stages. 

• Strong vibrations or electromagnetic frequencies from certain instruments may interfere with medical devices like pacemakers or affect areas with metallic implants.

• Those experiencing acute psychiatric episodes (e.g., severe anxiety, psychosis, or trauma-related disorders) should consult a mental health professional first, as sound healing might trigger intense emotional responses.

• Anyone Uncomfortable with Alternative Therapies: Individuals who are skeptical or not open to the experience may not benefit fully, as relaxation and receptivity are essential components of sound healing.
