Being Well: The Journey of Healing Through Sound

We all seek connection; something that gives meaning and a sense of safety in the world. Feeling isolated and untethered can create anxiety, depression, lead us to mistakenly attach to things outside of ourselves like other people, possessions, food, addictive substances etc- hoping to fill the void within us.  

All the while, everything we need is already within us. But most of us need help in accessing that abundance and stepping into our power and manifesting the relationship with the world we desire.  

Fortunately, there are tools to help us. Through the beauty of their harmonic sounds and the vibrational patterns they emit, the Tibetan sacred sound instruments (singing bowls, gantas, dorjes's and tingshas) help to reawaken within us dormant energies and realign us with the cellular memory of our wholeness. Through brainwave entrainment that creates a synchronization of our heartbeat, brainwaves and respiratory rate, we can release into a relaxed and meditative state so deep, that the body/mind/spirit recalibrates itself.  

Sometimes this happens with the initial sound healing session. Sometimes it takes several sessions because we learn by repetition, and we are learning to align with deeply effective vibrational patterns in a new way- the sound way. 

Healing is a movement from disharmony to harmony, from duality to non-duality or Divine Awareness. The journey of healing then is a spiritual awakening with consequences on our physical well being. As we awaken, our perspective shifts. As our perspective shifts, our vibration shifts. As our vibration shifts, our cellular make up shifts. The shifts can not occur as separate entities- they affect the whole of who we are and extend infinitely. 

Healing is a process where we are released from an ego centered finite perspective of ourselves in the world and move into our essence where our vibratory energy is connected with the universe. Once we remember and feel that connection, we feel supported by the universe, as in fact we always are, and can begin to manifest our life in a ways that reflects our hearts desires.

Good to hear what is around you

I have a story to tell you about oranges. One in particular that came with me last week when I went to Las Vegas to do a concert, some healing sessions and then 2 days of kayaking... Oranges are great on trips because they hold up so well. We were on the Colorado river in a place where there were natural hot springs in the hills just above the camping area. We climbed up there to sit in the mineral bath and I had an orange in my pocket. Along the way I noticed a small group of people with one large man who was sitting with his head in his hands. He had fainted from being in the tub too long and couldn't get down the mountain. Every time he stood up he fell down. He had a cut on his nose from one of the falls and was bleeding. As I walked by I heard someone was saying that he needed sugar so I gave him the orange. For the next 2 days every single person I passed on the river from that group thanked me for overhearing their conversation. They said that it was only after eating the orange that he was able to walk without fainting and that all they had was water. Normally, eavesdropping is not considered to be in good taste but responding to what I heard turned out to be a gift for this man. What is really cool about the whole situation tho is where the orange came from. I had gifted a client of mine who is suffering from cancer a free sound healing session. A few days later he turned up at the cancer clinic where I work with a huge bag of oranges from his orchard. So the orange was the energy of gifting from one person to another. I wonder what gift the man who ate the orange will pass along...

Sound Healing and Cancer

If you have cancer or know someone who does, tune into this teleclass which will discuss how Tibetan bowl sound healing can be used with cancer clients on Monday March 1, 6pm Pacific time. The subject is so rich it will probably involve more than one session. I have been working with cancer patients for about 6 years now and sound healing is so effective in the healing journey.

The Spirit of Sound

Last week I had the great fortune to be on a large sail boat in La Paz, Mexico. We spent a few
days out at sea and were delighted when a large pod of gray whales came near us to breach for about an hour. The sight of their huge bodies bounding in and out of the water was magnificent, but the booming sound of their voices silenced us. It was like a call from beyond time and space. It touched a part of my soul that recognized the connection to all things. Upon return home, this quote arrived on my computer:

" For there is nothing in this world that can help one spiritually more than music. Meditation prepares, but music is the highest for touching perfection."

Yesterday, I conducted a Tibetan bowl sound healing session with one of my cancer clients. She said that each visit is like a sound meditation that leaves her with a sense of infinity. I realize that is also what I felt in the presence of the whale calls. There are just so many opportunities to feel gratitude in this life.

Re-Aligning with the Fundamental

Healing is simple, but not easy. Being in resonance with 'What Is' is being in harmony with nature. This includes being in resonance even with things we dislike. When resonance is established through intentionally opening to it, we may experience the Fundamental vibration of the Universe ( AUM- the vibration of Universal Perfection). We can neither chase nor force it; we can only receive it and in doing so, discover what it is.

Healing is not separating from a hindrance, it is opening fully to it, embracing, accepting and honoring it. Through the act of opening, the Fundamental is revealed. It is in the vibration of the Fundamental that the miracle of Spontaneous Healing can occur; when we awaken to how everything is interrelated; how even illness, car crashes and the worst news is an agent of healing. A challenge can illuminate our blind spots- our areas of vulnerability NOT to destroy us but to awaken us to those areas of ourselves so we may become whole. That we do by giving attention to and strengthening that part of ourselves. Healing is a spiritual awakening that impacts on our physical body and the whole of our lives. It is a transformation of consciousness.

For most of us there is so much resistance to opening to distress that we need tools, ambassadors to help us. Tibetan bowls, meditation, chanting and toning are just some of the wonderful tools available to help us cease interrupting the pattern of the Fundamental which exists in all things and reopen to the fullness that is our birthright.

Cancer Center Video

It is a good day when complimentary therapies are integrated into the mainstream. Cancer patients are receiving state of the art care at the San Diego Cancer Center. In addition to their traditional treatments they are offered my Tibetan bowl sound healing, acupuncture, massage, chi-gong and more. It is incredible when people come into my room connected to their chemo equipment and leave feeling like they don't have cancer at all because they are so relaxed and have connected to their wellness. Look at the video:( just after the Navy Blurb) There are links to the Cancer Center under the ‘Links’ tab above the info box. Visit my website at http://www.soundenergyhealing.com

Book Review:The Healing Power of Sound

The Healing Power of Sound by Dr.Mitchel Gaynor is like the sound healers bible. Dr. Gaynor started using sound many years ago when he met a Tibetan monk and was awed by the sound of the instruments and the effect on his body/mind/spirit. The book is an exploration into his personal transformation from traditional medicine to a more holistic approach and the research and work he has done with cancer patients over the years. Although I am an advocate for using the ancient Himalayan singing bowls rather than the modern glass ones, Gaynor uses them both along with toning and visualization for effective and healing treatments for his patients. If you are only going to get one book on sound healing... I would choose this one. For more information, services and products focusing on sound healing visit www.soundenergyhealing.com

Sound Healing Workshops at Cancer Center

Wow. I am excited. Just returned from a revitalizing bike trip in BC, Canada and am ready to offer some upcoming workshops at the San Diego Cancer Center. The workshops combine breath work, which is a vital part of helping clients there focus on self with intention, release toxins, and get into present moment. Between the effects of chemotherapy and the stress of having cancer it is easy to spin off into fear and be 'out of the body'. Breath work is like an anchor that keeps bringing us back to ourselves. If we can keep bringing ourselves back to it, then we are better containers for the healing sounds of the Tibetan instruments.

The workshops also combine visualizations and of course the harmonizing and soothing sound of the Tibetan bowls along with some gongs. Each workshop also has time for the participants to play the instruments and learn about their properties. I know that healing is taking ownership of all aspects of the self, so the ability to learn to use the instruments is a great way for people to engage in self healing too.

Workshops will be offered twice in July and August and then I will create a new schedule for the fall. A really exciting aspect of these workshops is that SignOn San Diego, the TV channel here will be doing a spot in their news hour on July 18th. The more exposure this modality gets, the better.
