common questions

I use the term healing and balancing interchangeably, but they are the same thing. Sound healing/sound balancing uses instruments and vibration to activate the body’s parasympathetic nervous system — the part that helps us rest, restore, and heal. This natural shift slows the breath, calms the heart rate, and settles the mind. It also works with the electromagnetic field by utilizing tuning forks to navigate and identify pockets of resistance where blocked energy might be held. By introducing a coherent tone to the field, the body’s own healing system is activated to naturally bring balance back to the system.

The benefits can be wide-ranging, and vary, including:

• Reducing stress and anxiety

• Supporting better sleep

• Lowering blood pressure

• Easing physical pain

• Supporting emotional balance and connection

Everyone experiences sound healing in their own way. Many describe it as feeling “reset” more relaxed, centered, and connected.

A sound bath is where we gather as a group to enjoy sound healing. We begin with a meditation which leads into sound immersion. Afterwards we ground back in and some choose to chat with others about their experience.

Reiki is a form of energy healing and is one methodology, but not the only. Energy healing works on the premise that there is a life force energy, ether, all around us that can be accessed by utilizing intention and focus. By accessing this field, and your own, the practitioner can help energy move through areas where it may be stuck or stagnant.

Research on energy healing (biofield therapies) is growing but remains in its infancy. That being said, over 140 studies of reiki have been completed and have shown positive results in helping with pain, anxiety, and depression.

During a session I am utilizing different sound instruments, focusing on tuning forks, to work around what is called your biofield. You can think of your biofield as the energetic imprint that surrounds your body and reflects your experiences, emotions, etc. The sounds help to move stagnant or static energy and helps to activate the body’s healing system. The sound works on multiple levels, helping the body to relax and rest, and the mind to quiet down. Every session is a bit different depending on your needs. Energy healing will be worked into the session accordingly.

These sessions you will be lying down on a table, most people experience deep relaxation within these sessions but everyone’s experience is slightly different. Energy healing can be done with a gentle hands on approach, or hands off whichever you prefer.

Everyone experiences energy and sound healing a little differently. For some, the effects are immediate; for others, they unfold gradually. Many people describe it as their brain receiving a “massage” or “cleaning”.

Detox sensations are common such as: light flu like symptoms, fatigue or tiredness, emotional fluctuations, etc. These are temporary and shouldn’t last more than a few days.

These practices can ease tension in the physical body, support emotional release, and open space for spiritual connection. You may find patterns in your life shifting after a session such as: feeling stronger, feeling calmer, lessening pain, better sleep, deeper connection and overall well being.

Just like working out different muscle groups at the gym, this type of healing can bring a range of sensations.

Sometimes you may feel lighter right away, while other times you might notice emotional or physical shifts in the days following.

The goal is to bring balance back to the system, whatever that means for you, and by using frequencies we are able to work with the out-of-tune charges directly and usually effectively. Due to us interacting with this, it is common to notice changes after even just one session.

Sound healing affects each person differently, and research has shown many positive benefits for the mind and body. However, as with any practice, there are some medical conditions to be mindful of. Due to the detox and healing reaction the body often goes through after a session, sound healing might not be right for you at this time. This information is based on anecdotal experience and not research, due to this it is important to loop in your health care professionals and limit the use of this method until you know how your body reacts. That being said, it is possible to slightly changed the methods used to focus on relaxation depending on your circumstance to better fit your needs.

Lucky for us, with the introduction of biofield therapy studies, more and more scientists are on board with studying CAM practices (complimentary alternative medicine)…and yes there are studies showing these modalities are beneficial! If you are interested in learning about the studies behind these practices, please view my blog where I go into deep detail and list all sources and medical studies and journals I pulled from.
