Introducing Sound Healing

Sound has been used for healing in various cultures for thousands of years. The sound of the harp, ancient gongs and the purity of crystal bowls provide waves of peace and relaxation of mind, body and spirit, moving us to a place of coherence and balance.

How Does It Work?

Sound helps to facilitate shifts in our brainwave state by using entrainment. Entrainment synchronises our fluctuating brainwaves by providing a stable frequency which the brainwave can attune to. By using rhythm and frequency, we can entrain our brainwaves and it then becomes possible to down-shift our normal beta state (normal waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxed consciousness), and even reach theta (meditative state) and delta (sleep; where internal healing can occur). This same concept is utilised in meditation to regulate breath, but with sound it is the frequency that creates the shift.
“If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes. Sound can redress imbalances on every level of physiologic functioning and can play a positive role in the treatment of any medical disorder.”
Dr Mitchell Gaynor, Director of Medical Oncology and Integrative Medicine,
The Cornell Cancer Prevention Centre in New York

Harp

The resonance of the harp has unique healing properties. The richness and tonal colour of the frequency have a soothing and relaxing effect. The subtle use of sound cultivates inner quietness, balance and beauty. The benefits of sound healing have long been observed in a range of settings including children’s hospitals, hospices, in business and in performance enhancement.

Crystal & Tibetan Bowls

The sounds and vibrations of singing bowls promote relaxation and restoration with subtle and sometimes profound healing effects. They can be used to take the recipient into a deep meditative state, which can then lead the body into a place of homeostasis, helping it to self-regulate and heal.

Our bodies are made up of 65-75% water, which is an excellent conductive medium for sound and vibration. The pure tones and vibrations from the Tibetan and crystal bowls are transmitted to our cells which release toxins.

The body is also made up of many crystalline structures. When the crystal bowls are played, there may be profound effects on the tissues, cells and organs in the body, as well as rebalancing the circulatory, endocrine and metabolic systems.
