What is sound healing?

Relieving stress, rejuvenating, and improving overall health with sound and music indeed is an ancient practice - one that currently is experiencing a reemergence. Thanks in part to the internet, global commerce and industrialization, new awareness of values, morality and mortality, increased average daily stressors, and a resulting interest in holistic well-being. We now have great access to tools and applications, both new and old, which can be used with care to engender environments that can reduce stress, improve sleep, encourage mental clarity and creativity, help with emotional processing, provide pain relief, and re-pattern us toward our highest selves.

How does it work?
Sound healing uses acoustics to work on several levels, helping individuals to navigate their way toward health in various dimensions of being. Sounds and certain types of music, when applied after proper training and with great care, can help us shift into parasympathetic nervous system responses where the body can rest, relax, and rejuvenate. Getting out of extreme, repeated, or prolonged states of stress is vital for our bodies to self-heal. Sometimes we struggle with letting go of looping thoughts; sound can help us disconnect from these negative patterns and allow us start anew. If we have physical pain, sound can help the body produce nitric oxide, which is critical for pain relief and many other self-healing functions, and which can shut off under extreme stress. Binaural or monaural beats can help guide us into more useful brain rhythms / activity, out of over stimulated states, and toward more clear and relaxed thinking. How we deploy acoustics can derive from clinical / scientific knowledge, as well from as intuitive or subjective discovery. So long as we are being thoughtful and safe, without putting anyone in harm’s way, sound can be used for deeply profound reorganizing of our perceptions and states toward wellbeing.

Who is this for?
Sound healing is for anyone who is curious or open toward it. From skeptics of the art to those who have spent lots of time in spiritual spaces and practices, anyone can approach and find great support when the offering is attentive and tuned-in, not rushed or forced. There are still many very new and inexperienced practitioners, and since this is not a licensed practice and anyone can jump into a facilitator role with minimal experience, clients should use discernment when choosing, and perhaps be understanding when an inexperienced facilitator has made a mistake. Ask your friends for recommendations, or ask other practitioners that you trust, and try to explore different classes to find out what you respond best to, and who you feel comfortable with.
