SOUND MEDITATION

Experience the transformative power of a deep sound journey, meticulously crafted to harmonize your mind, body, and spirit. 🎶 Immerse yourself in the celestial melodies, resonating Tibetan bowls, and ancient instruments that will transport you to realms of inner peace and rejuvenation.

Sound meditation is an integrated practice that combines a shamanic ceremonial setting with an Eastern emphasis on breathing exercises and visualization. Specific musical instruments played during the meditation allow participants to use sound as a therapeutic tool to disconnect from discursive thinking and  reach a transcendental state. Sound meditation draws on depth psychology, ancient wisdom traditions, contemporary science, and music theory. 

WHAT IS SOUND MEDITATION & HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Sound Meditation is an active meditation that operates from the principle of resonance, vibration, and a body-mind integrated approach to wellness. We use sound to help regulate & calm the nervous system, boost energy, and release emotions to facilitate healing.

The active listening to the sound will slow down your brainwaves and you will be guided into a deep meditative state (or altered state of consciousness). By accessing the subconscious the sound can help you clear negative thoughts and untruths, behaviors, emotions, energy, trauma, anxiety, depression, and more. The subconscious can show you the root cause of physical, mental, and emotional issues and help clear them. Releasing stuck emotions and negative energy, self-defeating relationship patterns, and negative self-talk. 

As a certified trained Sound facilitator, I tune into each client and work with the wisdom of the body to guide you through the session in order to facilitate the healing process that is inherent in all of us. 

Tuning forks, antique Tibetan bowls, Gong, Swing chimes, Koshi chimes, and Sansula may be used depending on your needs for the session. Through dialogue and open communication, safety and respect, we will use the appropriate instruments and techniques for the healing to take place.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SOUND:

“Psychoacoustics is a field of scientific inquiry still in its infancy, and is an offshoot of acoustics, the branch of modern physics devoted to the study of sound. Its purview is the range of psychological and physiological responses that occur in human beings when exposed to sound, whether music or speech. With the aid of highly sophisticated equipment and theory, it is now beginning to discover principles that have been grasped intuitively in the spiritual practices of so-called ‘primitive’ indigenous cultures for millennia. Look, for example, at the EEG screenshots that graphically illustrate the effect of certain kinds of sound on the patterns of electrical activity within the human brain, as measured by electroencephalography (EEG).” ALEXANDRE TANNOUS

Here are some screenshots from various EEG studies made by my teacher Alexandre Tannous (ethnomusicologist, sound therapist and sound researcher)

Basically, it shows to what extent the brain activities (the peaks in different colors) in both hemispheres diminish or even flatten when certain harmonic overtones-emitting instruments are played, and the level of synchrony and coherence that resulted in both hemispheres. Notice the numbers on the bottom in both hemispheres. These are the brainwave cycles measured in Herz (Hz. cycles per second).
