Sound healing is nothing new, it is a practice that has been occurring for hundreds of thousands of years and the west is finally starting to catch onto the benefits of the healing power of sound vibrations.
What is Sound Therapy
A Tibetan Acu-Sound Therapy treatment uses chimes, musical tuning forks and singing bowls, in a non-invasive way, to re-align and balance the body's natural energy fields and to help clear energetic blockages. Harmonic sound, both audible and vibrational can locate and resolve energetic disharmony. For example, you can activate the third eye chakra, located between the eye brows , by first hitting a bowl and then gently touching the vibrating rim of the bowl at the chakra.
The beautiful and melodic tones of Sound Therapy can deeply penetrate our body, mind, and spirit and Tibetan singing bowls healing powers are immense. Sound Therapy therefore supports self healing and is complementary to other therapeutic measures, in particular Reiki Healing which also works on the chakra system.
It is a gentle and enjoyable method and is opening up fascinating new areas of subtle work, together Reiki and sound therapy can work wonderfully. The only requirement for you is to relax and listen.
Benefits of Sound Healing Therapy
Tibetan singing bowls, chimes and healing forks, are considered to be natural tools for Healing. The vibration caused when the tools are struck travel through the body, causing cells to vibrate faster so removing energy blockages and energising chakras. As a holistic and complementary therapy, Sound Healing Therapy is increasing in popularity and regularly used alongside conventional medicine to relieve side effects off illness and to promote recovery.
Our Tibetan Acu-Sound Therapy treatment is great for people who are particularly stressed or worried. Results can vary from a deep sense of relaxation, to relief from physical and/or emotional pain, a sensation of lightness as the body lets go of past emotional and physical issues. Many people say that they feel a release from deep-seated emotions after the treatment.
What to Expect
You remain fully clothed during the treatment but you will be asked to remove your shoes, watch, jewellery and spectacles.
You will be made comfortable lying down on a massage couch, or seated in a chair, calming music will help you to relax. The main thing is for you to be as comfortable as possible. During your treatment you may choose to be quiet so as to truly calm your mind and body but you are encouraged to speak up if you feel uncomfortable in any way or need to ask a question.
Singing bowls and healing forks are placed on or close to your dressed body (within your aura) and tapped gently with a felt mallet. Whereby, the gentle vibrations and sounds created induce a feeling of relaxation and well-being. The vibration can correct your balance and provide feeling of inner strength, harmony and energy.
The vibrations, like acupuncture needles, are amazingly efficient to help vital energy flow freely. In the same way, Shiatsu strokes and pressures are helping the vibration, and mind of the recipient to connect deeply. It is a good synergy and people disconnect from their worry and experience the present moment
There is no massage or manipulation in the session. The treatment isn’t a deep tissue massage so it won’t work on knots in your back, but it can really help you switch off and relieve tension in your muscles. It will take you to a level of relaxation that will feel positively blissful.
Results can vary from a deep sense of relaxation, to relief from physical and/or emotional pain, a sensation of lightness as the body lets go of past emotional and physical issues.
You may feel heat, tingling or coolness as your body reacts top the vibrations. You may feel these sensations more in certain areas where more energy is flowing or you may feel nothing very much at all apart from a deep sense of comfort and peace. Many people drift in and out of sleep, most say it is the most relaxed they have felt in a long time Everyone experiences sound healing differently. Some feel a slight tingling or sensations of warmth or coolness, others just a deep relaxation. Some find themselves in a deep meditative state whilst others feel rejuvenated and energised. Some even fall into a deep and refreshing sleep. Other common experiences are subtle pulsations where the practitioner's hands are placed or cascading waves of pulsations throughout the body.
Sometimes the experience of sound healing is dramatic, while for other people, the first session in particular may be uneventful, although they feel somehow better afterwards. The most common experience is an almost immediate release of stress and a feeling of deep relaxation.
Sound healing gently allows the body to let go of old emotions, tensions and unhelpful patterns. Sometimes this causes tearfulness or a slight feeling of pressure as negativity is released. This often leaves you feeling lighter, as if a weight has been lifted from your chest and shoulders.
