Sound Healing
What
Rejuvenating and healing with sound and music is an age-old practice, currently reemerging on a large scale thanks to modern technology. We have access to a wealth of tools and techniques both new and old, which, when used with care and understanding, can be one of the most accessible and risk-free mediums for so many benefits including stress reduction, improved sleep, mental clarity, creativity, emotional processing, pain relief, and overall rejuvenation...
How
Sound healing utilizes acoustics to promote wellbeing and relaxation, which can lead to decreased stress and therefore improvements in various qualities of health. How we deploy acoustics can derive from clinical and scientific knowledge, as well from as intuitive or subjective discovery. As long as we are prioritizing common sense and safety, sound healing has very little risk with profoundly positive results. Samer blends professional improvisational music experience with intuition and clinical approaches that take listeners on a journey that is unique and just for them.
Who
Sound healing is truly for everyone, from skeptics who just like music, to folks who have spent lots of time in spiritual practices. Samer is a musician and healing sound facilitator based in New York City and has learned with a variety of teachers in the field, worked with prominent arts, non-profit, and educational institutions, and has offered hundreds of group and private sessions. As a musician Samer has toured the US and Europe several times with Matthew Dear and Dave Harrington, and appears in Everything Everywhere All At Once and Alanis Morissette’s Storm Before the Calm. He blends his practical demeanor from the world of music with the bedside manner of a healing arts practice to help expand how we understand the healing process.
