Flow seamlessly into a journey of sounds, where healing vibrations, frequencies and sensations will hold you and weave their magic over and through you.
The Sound Meditation Journey is a deeply immersive, full-body listening experience. It begins with each person lying or sitting down, relaxed and eyes closed.
There’s nothing for you to do but completely receive.
You'll be guided through some gentle focus on your breathing and soothing words that will flow seamlessly into a journey of sounds, where healing vibrations, frequencies and sensations will hold you and weave their magic over and through you. A variety of instruments are used including crystal singing bowls, flow and Koshi chimes, an ocean drum, rainsticks, gongs, crystal pyramids and more. Different sounds and frequencies activate different parts of the body and brain to help recalibrate the nervous system into a state of harmony.
You may experience a number of different sensations, including: visions, emotional shifts, blockages releasing, answered questions, inspiration, a sense of deep connection with intuition, retrieval of memories, physically vibrating/tingling, deep relaxation. You may also experience none of these things, and just have the pleasure of lying still, bathing in healing sounds and vibrations and pressing the pause button on your busy mind.
Sound healing is often described as a science-based meditation with a touch of magic. Words can only go so far—sometimes, the best way to understand it is to simply experience it.
Some potential benefits of Sound Healing:
The sound waves can help to draw your brain waves into theta and delta states (the slowest in humans), associated with deep relaxation, and the most conducive states for the body to heal itself
In this deeply relaxed state, your body releases the hormone oxytocin (love/kindness hormone) and serotonin (happy hormone)
Nitric oxide is also released in some parts of your body, which helps with immunity along with numerous other physiological benefits
Your thinking mind drops away, giving you the freedom to explore the magical space between asleep and awake
In this space, you’re more likely to find answers to questions you’ve been searching for, creative ideas, clarity, an understanding of internal blockages, peace, a sense of coming home
The body, like an instrument, is essentially tuned back to a state of balance and harmony through use of healing vibrations and intention
