Is a sound healing session for me?
An intuitive guide to deciding if sound healing is right for you.
I can still so vividly remember my first sound healing session— I did it purely to support my friend and recall thinking what can sound healing really do. By the end of the session, I was blown away by the power of the sound bowls, I felt relaxed on a cellular level, my mind was calm, and I had a strong desire to tap into my creativity. At that point in my healing journey, I did not realize how activated my sympathetic nervous system was, how much worry consumed me or the true power of stilling the mind. For weeks after the session, I felt a profound shift. My awareness had broadened of how peaceful life could be. Little did I know at that time that one sound healing session would completely change the trajectory of my life.
A sound healing session can be a wonderful experience for a multitude of reasons. Here are some that have resonated the most with me:
-Still the mind. The sound of the bowls help to entrain our brain waves allowing the parasympathetic nervous system take over welcoming a level of deep relaxation. Once the mind and body are feel safe and at ease, our intuitive guidance system is activated, and the body can begin to heal.
-Activate creativity. By slowing down, letting go of control and relaxing completely we create a beautiful environment for beauty to blossom.
-Soften physical pain in the body.
-Connect to your spiritual team and inner guidance system.
-Create a clean, energetic slate to set intentions and manifest your visions into form.
-Enter into a deep meditative trance.
-Bring awareness to your thought patterns. Our thoughts hold the power to create a reality full of joy, compassion and abundance or a world full of hardship. By slowing down and dropping into a deep mediative state we can create an awareness of the endless mental dialogue inside our heads. We allow ourselves to become the observer of our thoughts instead of entangled in the chaos. From this place we can start to take note of how we communicate with ourselves— is it with love and tenderness? Or is it with judgement and harm? Sound healing is a powerful tool to help us begin to reprogram our neurological pathways to live a more joyful life full of love and faith.
