Welcome to your sound healing experience. We look forward to sharing a healing space to nourish your Soul.
How sound healing works
Sound Healing has been around for a few thousand years. Yet the deep healing benefits have been re-discovered. Sound Healing works through healing the body through vibration. Our body is a mass of sensations and vibrations and it is directly through the body that the effects of sound healing are felt and absorbed whether our mind is aware of it or not. As we are approx 70 per cent water, our body is very resonant to the vibration of sound. So when we are immersed in sound healing, the vibrations go straight to the cells and works through the various energetic layers of our being.
So all you have to do is to set the body up in a cosy relaxation lying out and the rest just happens organically with "no effort" while receiving a bath of sound vibrations over the body. This is why they are oftenreferred to Sound Baths!
Different instruments are made and set to certain frequencies. Sound healing allows your body to heal itself by slowing down your brain waves, which affect every cell in your body, shifting them from imbalance or "dis-ease" to being "in ease". It's about aligning your body with whatever you need. Our emotions are deeply connected to sound and may help to releases and to unlock the blocked emotions with ease and grace.
Do you ever notice how you feel when your favourite song is played? You may experience sensations of tingling or something else but it is the body that is directly responding to the vibrations as the body's vibrations "are met" by the vibrations of the sound and that is what brings healing, equilibrium and a sense of wellbeing. Sound Therapy goes enters the body's energy field and so bypasses the mind. Therefore it is this sense of "no effort" required and just to relax and to enjoy!
What can Sound Healing offer you?
A Sound Bath is a powerful way to bring the body into a deep form of relaxation and ease. It works as the sound vibrations from gongs, himalayan singing bowls, crystal bowls, rattles, drums and other instruments such as chimes are used to create mesmerising vibrations of sounds that can help to release emotional and energy blockages in the body and stimulate healing in a gentle yet a very deep way.
