What is sound healing?

Sound healing is an ancient practice that uses various sounds and vibrations to promote relaxation, improve physical and mental well-being, and even achieve healing.

It’s based on the idea that everything in the universe vibrates at a specific frequency, including our bodies and minds. Disharmony in these vibrations can lead to disease, and sound healing aims to restore balance through specific sound frequencies.

Sound healing involves various instruments such as singing bowls, bells, traditional Andean flutes, tuning forks, gongs, drums, and your practitioner’s own voice.

What are the benefits of sound healing?

Attuning ourselves to a more harmonious frequency can help to address the following:

  • Stress and anxiety reduction

  • Improved sleep

  • Pain management

  • Increased focus and relaxation

  • Emotional well-being

  • Gain more clarity, insight

  • Be liberated from toxic or repetitive thought patterns

  • Let go of the things that are weighing us down or disrupting our sense of peace

  • Alleviate certain types of pain or discomfort

  • Complement other healing modalities to cultivate more receptivity

  • Shift perspective

  • Cultivate deeper awareness

  • Access the dream space
