SOUND HEALING THERAPY

Sound healing techniques have been practiced for thousands of years, from times when the lapping of ocean waves was considered a source of healing to the chantings of Tibetan monks.

The most ancient roots of sound healing come from shamanic practices. The Shamans were the spiritual leaders who used music and chanting to bring about healing in their communities.

​

In ancient Egypt, priests used chanting and incantations to induce altered states of consciousness and promote healing. Similarly, in India, the practice of Nada Yoga, or the yoga of sound, incorporated vocal chants, mantras, and musical instruments to balance and harmonize the chakras.

Everything in the universe has its own vibrational frequency and interacts with other frequencies. The belief that music can affect the body and mind goes back many years, and there are references to music therapy in ancient Indian, Chinese, and Greek texts.

Music therapy is often practiced with a credentialed practitioner and can take multiple forms, from guided meditations to dance to sound baths. The practitioner uses various aspects of sound to focus on your physical or mental health. 

You may also experience vibrations applied to the body using tools such as a tuning fork, singing bowls, and bells. During a the session, you can either lie on the floor or sit in a chair, depending on your preferences and what's available in the space where the session is held. The practitioner then plays one or more instruments while moving them around your head and body, creating sound waves that travel through your body. 

It is important to remain quiet and relaxed to allow the sounds to take effect. Some practitioners will incorporate several healing techniques in a session. 

As sound passes through you, it balances your body, mind, and spirit by clearing blockages in the energy flow and helping your body to release tension and stress. 

It is important to let your practitioner know if you have metal in your body or a pacemaker. Sound healing isn't intended to diagnose or treat any health condition. However, it can be beneficial for conditions such as anxiety and depression, which are often associated with high levels of stress.
