What is Sound Healing?
Sound Healing is a powerful practice that uses sound vibrations and sound frequencies to promote healing, restore balance and encourage deep relaxation to the mind and body. It can also bring insights and spark creativity.
How does it work?
Sound Healing uses instruments like gongs, singing bowls and drums to create vibrations and frequencies that resonate with your body. This stimulates the cells and tissues. It can also entrain brainwaves.
Brainwaves
Sound (in the form of vibration, energy and movement) can shift our brainwaves and gently guide us into different states of being.
Delta Waves (0.5-4 Hz)
Delta is the slowest wave. The deep stillness. Think deep, dreamless sleep, total surrender and body repair. You’re not conscious here, but your body is healing. Perfect for deep rest and reset.
Theta Waves (4-8 Hz)
Theta is the twilight zone. The dreaming mind. Just before sleep, just after waking. It’s where intuition stirs, daydreams drift, magic unfolds and emotions surface. Ideal for inner healing, insight and creativity.
Alpha Waves (8-12 Hz)
Alpha is the sweet spot. Relaxed, but alert. The Calm Flow. You’re in the zone, open to new ideas, calmly focused. This is the wave of meditation, soft awareness and creative flow. It’s the pause that powers up your mind.
Beta Waves (12-30 Hz)
Beta means focus, thinking and doing. The active mind. Your brain is in problem solving mode, alert and sharp. This is your 9-to-5 wave. It’s usefull and necessary, but too much beta causes tension. Sound can gently guide you into calmer brainwave states. This is the wave we balance to find peace.
Gamma Waves (30-100 Hz)
This is the fastest wave. The spark of insight. Linked to moments of clarity, memory and peak awareness. It lights up when you’re having a breakthrough, connecting ideas or in deep compassion. It’s the light that connects it all.
What are the benefits?
Benefits can range a lot, as the experience can depend a lot per person. Some examples of benefits are: reduced pain and muscle tension, release of emotional blockages, stress relief, mental clarity and focus, boosted creativity, enhanced emotional well-being, deep relaxation, restored energy flow, improved self awareness, strengthened spiritual connection, encouraged personal growth.
Guarantees and Health
Your health is personal to you. Always consult with your doctor if you have any health issues. Sound Healing is not a substitute for doctor’s advice or medication. The effect of a Sound Healing session depends per person, timing and circumstances. There is no guarantee as to what a Sound Healing session may bring you.
Experiences
Your experience is always unique and no two sessions are the same.
Here are some examples of what others have expressed:
Feeling a deep state of meditation. Very relaxed. Some able to switch of their busy mind completely, some able to do so half.
Within a meditative state, traveling through time. Seeing themselves in different moments in time. Sometimes related to their own lives, sometimes before they were born, or somewhere completely different to what they know.
Dreaming colorful dreams, filled with shapes, forms, light, graphic and fluid, blending, images emerging, stories unfold. Some experience a feeling of “high”, which may last for a while.
Physical bodily experiences, like feeling tilted, drifting, lob-sided, floating, or feeling different body parts with different frequencies. These sensations may linger afterwards.
Often, people experience a mix of these states. Sometimes a shift takes place, physical or emotional, during or after the session. Sometimes the effect is (or seems to be) minimal, just relaxing.
Multiple sessions may be needed for deeper effect.
