Sound Healing has an ancient kinship with Meditation.
Sound healing has roots in cultures around the world, notably the Aboriginals who developed the Didgeridoo over 40,000 years ago as a powerful healing instrument. In Tibetan culture the use of singing bowls during spiritual ceremonies is common, and in Indigenous Native American Tribes the use of drums and flutes for healing and connecting with the spiritual world is widely practiced. Across the South American continent, music and dance is central to Indigenous healing practices, used for communing with the divine or protective energies to aid in cleansing and strengthening the body, mind and soul.
Recently this ancient wisdom deeply known by these cultures is being shared in “sound baths,” which may include various instruments like ocean drums, crystal bowls and various chimes to guide the listener to alpha or theta meditative brainwave states.
These vibrations have been proven to reduce stress hormones and inflammation while activating the imagination.
I offer sound healing while in Savasana to enhance the restorative benefits of stillness.
Recent scientific studies show improvements in pain response and recovery when patients are exposed to vibrational sound therapy.
