What is Sound Healing?

Sound healing is a practice that has been carried out for thousands of years, by civilisations as far apart as the Ancient Egyptians, indigenous North American tribes and of course our own First Nation’s people. It uses sounds and/or music to enable people to heal themselves or adapt to change.

Integral Sound Healing takes elements from these cultures and integrates them with cutting edge modern research into sound and healing, as well as the practitioner’s own intuition.

Emma and Andrew use a variety of instruments in their sound healing work, including tuning forks, Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, gongs, drums, shakers, voice, Native American style flute and yadaki (digeridoo). Their innovative sessions might also include modern ‘classical’ instruments such as flute or trombone.

Sound is one of the most amazing ways to release blocks within and heal relationships

What can you expect from a Sound Healing Session:

Sound Healing can take you into a state of deep relaxation, by altering your brainwave state from a Beta (Active State) to a Alpha/Theta/Delta Brainwave state, where you will feel more grounded and relaxed. This takes you out of the fight or flight mode, and lets your body enter the healing state. The sounds that are played penetrate into your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies.

At the beginning of the session the practitioner will do a scan of your energy field(s) to assess for any energy imbalances in your system. They will then work through any imbalances by playing the healing sounds to restore balance.

Once this is completed, you will then be played a variety of different sounds using different instruments that will help you to integrate your desired healing outcome or facilitate your desired change. At the conclusion of the session there will be some silence, again to help you integrate the sounds you have just listened to, followed by a discussion to enable you to continue your healing journey through personal practice.

During the session , you can expect to feel bodily sensations such as tingling, flushes of heat or cold, and a heaviness within the body. These reactions are all normal and are indicating that there is a shift that is taking place during your session. Small body shakes can also happen which is also part of the energy shifting throughout your body.
