What is that NATURE OF HEALING? How does healing occur? How can we help facilitate healing? There will be a short talk on the nature of healing, how to facilitate healing in your life and how you can use therapeutic sound in your personal healing.

Following the short talk, and question and answer session, we will usher in our own healing with participatory exercises that will include group toning, and an immersive sound bath. Because this workshop will be done on the waning moon, we will work with letting go of the outmoded to create a sacred container for healing and setting a tone and focus for the new year.

About the Sound Bath

The term Sound Bath was first coined a few years back by musicians or possibly sound healers who took instruments and immersed the audience in this sound for relaxation and stress relief.

It was found that specific instruments coupled with energetic medicine knowledge created conducive vibrations to provide ease of tension and deep relaxation. Deep relaxation is a per-cursor to health and healing and allows the individual to release patterns of tension, trauma and stress that create illness.

Science has long known about brainwaves—patterns of electrical activity generated by the billions of neural cells in the human brain. Different levels of consciousness generate brainwaves at specific frequencies. More recent discoveries have shown that when people listen to sound vibrations and rhythmic sounds matched to a particular frequency, their brainwaves begin exhibiting the same frequency. This process is called “brain entrainment,” and it’s how we harnesses the power of the mind to help heal the body.

The idea that sound affects the health of the mind and body is not new. Chanting and mantra recitation have been part of Hindu spirituality and the healing power of yoga for thousands of years. Given the recent interest in mind-body medicine, it’s not surprising that this ancient tradition is experiencing a modern-day renaissance.
