So what actually happens ?

Sound healing sessions can happen on an individual or a group basis. Each therapist  runs sessions  a little differently, bringing in something of themselves and working from the heart. I trained with the Sound Healing Academy for over a year and there is a specific 10-step process we follow when offering an individual sound healing session. The experienced sound therapist will not rush the first step of helping you to settle into the present moment and connect with the therapist and the space around you.

You will be invited to relax on the floor or wherever you are most comfortable and wrap up in a blanket with pillows and perhaps an eye-mask.  I will guide you gently through visualisations accompanied by sound from beautiful instruments such as Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, crystal singing bowls, flutes, chimes and more to help open the mind and heart to the experience.

We also use the power of intention to enhance the effect of the sound vibrations. Some people may relate to this better as positive thinking, identifying a wish, a desire, an affirmation or manifesting a desired state of being for after the session. Jonathan Goldman, international authority on sound healing, says “FREQUENCY + INTENT = HEALING”.

Then, all you have to do is lie back and listen, letting  the sound vibrations do the rest for you.  It’s like meditating without having to learn how to. By the end of the sessions people often feel deeply relaxed and almost unable to describe the feeling in words. When they do, they often say something like ‘wow that was powerful’, ‘I saw beautiful colours, shapes and images’, ‘I couldn’t feel my body’, ‘I have never relaxed like that before’, ‘I felt tingles all through my body’ … When I first had one, I described the resulting feeling as both calm and energised at the same time which I later realised could more accurately be described as ‘balanced’.
