Question 1

What is sound therapy?

Accepted Answer

It’s an alternative therapy and healing modality that uses sound frequencies on the body and auric field.  I use various instruments such as the Frame Drum, Metal bowls, Crystal bowls and the Voice.

Question 2

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

It is really effective because we are energetic beings vibrating at various frequencies.
Sometimes there may be an energetic blockage or dis-ease in the body.  Through a process called entrainment the cells of the body start to resonate with the healing frequencies aiding the healing process.

Question 3

What is a sound bath?

Accepted Answer

Similar to how it sounds you are literally being bathed in sound, the healing frequencies penetrate through the ear canal and the vibration is felt deep in the body and cells.
You can enjoy the relaxing experience whilst laying down or sitting up and doing absolutely nothing.  Your body’s nervous system will start to slow down and your brain waves will naturally then move from Beta the normal everyday thinking brain, to Alpha relaxed and not thinking, to Theta deep relaxation and possibly even to Delta deep dreamless sleep.  Once you are out of Beta healing can take place in the body.

Question 4

How long does it take?

Accepted Answer

1 hour is excellent for unwinding after work and in the evening before sleep.
30mins is really good for morning or daytime rest and re-set.

Question 5

What do I need?

Accepted Answer

For virtual Sound baths you will need to listen with headphones, noise cancelling if possible. A comfortable, undisturbed space to lay or sit. An eye cover can be a good idea as it will deepen the experience, and you will want a blanket because it can get cold.
For Real life you will need your own yoga matt, and blanket and your own pillow.

How will it make me feel?

Afterwards you will feel calm, centred, less stressed and anxious.  Certainly, in a different more relaxed frame of mind.  Depending on the type of sound bath you may also feel energised afterwards.

Question 7

How does it affect my body and mind?

Accepted Answer

After just 20mins a sound bath can reduce inflammation in your blood cells.  The heart rate slows and the blood pressure drops.
The meditative state helps relieve stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia and even pain.

Question 8

Will it help me sleep?

Accepted Answer

You may fall to sleep quicker and have a deeper more restful sleep after a sound bath.

Question 9

Can it hurt me?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes the sound may feel uncomfortable.  If that happens just breath through that feeling and into that area of the body if you can.  Try not to leave the sound bath, it may be that either a physical or emotional blockage is clearing.
If you are Pregnant have a pacemaker, epilepsy or have a severe mental health condition I would advise against this therapy.

Question 10

What is the history?

Accepted Answer

Sound uses ancient techniques.  The metal bowl also known as the Tibetan bowl, have been used my Tibetan Buddhist monks since 3000BC for meditation purposes.  They were introduced to the USA in the 1980’s and were also used for their healing properties.
The drum has been used by Shaman’s even before Buddhism came to Tibet.  Mainly used for ritual, healing and consciousness expansion.

Question 11

How else can sound therapy help me?

Accepted Answer

We are more conscious now and much more aware of our energy body.
If the sound bath resonates with you, then you should try one-to-one therapy.  I tailor the sessions to your needs in order to create more balance in your life.
