About Sound Healing

When sound waves reach our ears, they are converted into electrical signals that travel up the auditory nerve into the auditory cortex, the part of the brain that processes sound. Once sound waves reach our brains, they trigger responses in our bodies.

Our bodies are also composed of about 65% of water. Water acts as a fantastic conductor of the vibrations of sound waves. The therapeutic Instruments which are specifically chosen and played on or around they body, produce sound vibrations that are carried through the body’s water content to the organs and body systems.

Sound healing also works with the human Biofield, the field of energy that surrounds and extends from the body, helping to facilitate the releasing of vibrational dissonances and restoration of coherent vibration to the Biofield.

Wear comfortable clothing and avoid tops with zips and buttons. You will remain clothed during the session and will lay on your back or stomach on a treatment table or mat on the floor. Occasionally clients may be asked to sit upright in a chair.

Depending on the type of treatment required, the Practitioner may use the instruments over and around the body or at times may place different instruments gently on areas of the body to allow the vibrational frequencies of the instruments to penetrate the body in a greater way.

Each session is a participatory experience. While you become relaxed and experience stillness, you participate by focussing on your chosen healing intention while the sounds are created. At times you may be asked to co-create sounds with the practitioner in order to strengthen the healing work.

You may have an array of experiences ranging from feeling warmth and tingling throughout the body, a sensation of floating or becoming very light, or a sensation of becoming very heavy and melding into the table. It is common for clients to see colours or visions, have spontaneous muscle jolts, or even have an emotional release such as crying or giggling. Experiences will differ with each person, every time. 

Regardless of whether you experience any of these, the frequencies are working throughout your biofield and physical body creating a healing response.

Benefits of Sound Healing will be gained from the first session, however, there are various factors that determine when healing may be fully experienced. Healing is a journey and takes time. Timeframes for healing will vary person to person and depend on the severity of the issue being addressed, how long it has been an issue and the client’s willingness to engage in the healing process. For some people it may be 4 sessions, for others it might be 12, or 20. However, because Sound Healing transforms the root energetic dissonance into new coherent vibrational patterns, in most cases, results are lasting and therefore won’t require lifetime treatment.

As the healing journey progresses, many clients utilize simple vocal toning exercises /other recommendations to support their general wellbeing and choose to return for occasional maintenance sessions as they feel is needed.

With the hustle and bustle of life, sometimes we push past our body’s indicator signs of stress and overload. In the absence of regenerative and replenishing practices, our Nervous system, Endocrine system and other organs and body systems can move into overdrive or progressively shut down.

The sound frequencies and techniques used in Sound Healing trigger deep relaxation and slows down brain waves to a deeply restorative state, which activates the body’s system of self-healing.

Tiredness is the body’s way of indicating that it is in healing mode and is using energy to restore balance and vitality. If tiredness is something that you experience after a session, the best way to support this restorative time is to allow yourself the time and space to rest. This may mean having a nap or choosing restful, quiet or gentle activities or restructuring your calendar to accommodate the necessary down time.

Allowing yourself the space for your body to utilize its energy to restore balance and heal will not only maximise the effects of the session but also support sustained healing longer term – especially when adopted with ongoing regenerative and replenishing practices.

Everyone’s healing journey is different, and what we experience in the healing process depends on many factors. For some, their health condition or disease may be linked to unresolved stress, trauma and/or unresolved emotions from life experiences.

If we have experienced an emotion and not been able to deal with it or not known how to process it, it gets held within our biofield and/or body creating a dissonant pattern of stuck energy that can manifest in various ways such as pain, aches or repetitive behaviour. During Sound Healing sessions, this dissonant pattern may be released and with the release of the dissonance can come a release of that stuck emotion. For some this may mean a re-emergence of old emotions pertaining to a life event/experience. For others they may feel emotion without a clear link to memories. In either case, it is important to allow yourself the space and time to process the emotion and find safe and appropriate ways to let it go.

For some people it may mean crying, writing in a journal or talking with your partner or friend. For others it may help to physically exert energy. Some people may also find they look for extra support from a professional counsellor or psychologist to assist with processing the healing process.

Sound Healing is able to gently yet effectively support the releasing of held emotions, trauma and stress whilst reforming new patterns of calm, peace and balance that support your journey of life moving forward.

The vibrational frequencies used during the Sound Healing session penetrate deep to the cellular level.

While not experienced by everyone, some people do find that their urine changes colour. The colour can range from anywhere between a dark yellow through to mid brown, even black. The colour of the urine simply indicates the body’s healing process in detoxifying and eliminating toxins and waste from the cells and organs.

The best way to support the detoxification and healing process is to eat nutritious, wholesome foods and drink plenty of water.

This usually settles within a few days.

After a Sound Healing session, the vibrational frequencies are moving throughout and around the body healing and balancing energy to organs and body systems. As a result, digestion and elimination processes are triggered, removing waste products and toxins that have built up over time.

Some people may find they need to go to the toilet more frequently, others may find their bowel movements change in colour or form. This is part of the body’s detoxification and healing process.
