Sound Healing is an effective and proven modality that uses vibrational sound to help reduce stress, alter consciousness and create a deep sense of peace, well being and better health. Sound has also been shown to be a vital part of the healing process for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and side effects especially for pain relief management.

During our waking state, the normal frequency of our brain waves is that of Beta. Sound tools entrain the brain to move into the deeper Alpha and Theta brain wave frequencies. These are the frequencies that induce deep meditative and peaceful states, clarity of mind and intuition. Modern medicine can now measure and thus confirm the practice of sound as a means to promote healing.  Thus, sound is a type of energy medicine that creates the sacred space in which people can heal from stress disorders, pain, depression, the emotional roller coaster and more.

How does it work? Ancient instruments, including Tibetan singing bowls and Chao (Chau) Gongs are 'struck and sung' in specific rhythmic patterns to create vibrational sound harmonics at the frequency of "AUM" or "OM". This sound frequency known as that of Perfection impacts the sympathetic nervous system as your brain waves synchronize to the vibrations of the bowls. The harmonic vibrations engage the relaxation reflex and slow down the respiratory, brain and heart rate and disrupt the pain reflex creating a deep sense of well being. Some toning, biofeedback and visualization is integrated into your session.

What are the benefits? Among the many, are relief from pain, stress- related conditions and the ability to alter ones consciousness. It can be an integral part of healing the effects of chemotherapy, pain reduction and discomfort from fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and depression. Many report out of body experiences, a deep sense of tranquility, relaxation, stress relief and deep sleep. After a session you may experience clarity, improved memory,  vitality and the ability to take action.  Most people feel the effects of the treatment for several days. Everyone's experience is different and unique. Most people feel improvement and balance in mind, body and spirit.

What are sessions like? Sessions last one hour and take place fully clothed on a mat on the floor or a massage table. Bowls are placed and played all around your body, head and on your charkras (energy centers). Clients are asked to wear comfortable clothing without buttons, zippers or jewelry. After the session you are offered a refreshing drink before you go home.

Can people who feel fine benefit from a session? Yes, very much so. People have used the Tibetan Bowls for centuries to alter their consciousness and attain deeper meditative states. Many clients also treat themselves to a session to gain clarity on an issue, re-vitalize and just feel great and even more connected to the universe.
