Sound healing operates on the principle that everything in the Universe, including our bodies, is in a state of resonance and vibration. When the body is healthy, it vibrates in harmony, and disease or illness is thought to be a result of those vibrations becoming out-of-sync. Sound healing aims to bring the body's vibrations back into balance and harmony.

 

Resonance occurs when one vibrating object causes another to vibrate at the same frequency. Entrainment is the process of synchronizing two different beats so that they become harmonious. In the context of sound healing, the body's natural frequencies can be tuned to a state of harmony using external sounds.

​

The powerful vibrations from sound healing instruments can lead our own internal processes to synchronize with the rhythms of the sounds around us. Drum beats may encourage our heart rate and breathing to slow down, leading to a state of calm and relaxation, or they can be activating to our energy.

​

Sound therapy can influence our brainwaves, the electrical impulses in the brain. By using rhythmic sounds, a states of meditation, deep relaxation, or even increased concentration can be induced. This is often achieved through techniques like binaural beats, where two slightly different frequencies are played in each ear, leading the brain to perceive a third tone that encourages relaxation or focus.

​

I use various instruments and tools, including singing bowls, chimes, harps, drums, gongs, and voice. These instruments are played in a therapeutic manner to produce vibrations that interact with the body’s energy. These vibrations can help to reduce stress, alleviate pain, improve sleep, and even enhance cognitive function by influencing the brain's state. This is thought to occur as the sound waves from the healing instruments or music enter the body, encouraging relaxation and healing responses from the nervous system.
 

Beyond the physical, sound healing can also have profound emotional and psychological effects, helping to release pent-up emotions and leading to feelings of peace and well-being.
