SOUND HEALING WITH CRYSTAL QUARTZ BOWLS
We are used to listening to music, analyzing how it is performed, and occasionally being moved emotionally by what we hear, but research shows that sound affects us more deeply that we realize. It can be used to heal us, but it also can harm us.
We remember from high school physics that matter is highly condensed energy, which to our senses appears solid. Sound and color are both made up of vibrations, and so is what we call “reality.” “The visual spectrum in frequency terms is 400-790 THz, so it’s just under one octave. Humans with great hearing can hear from 20 Hz to 20KHz, which is ten octaves.” So, we while we can see one octave, we can hear ten! Yet, we hardly pay attention to sounds around us and often learn to suppress them.
Resonance is the frequency at which an object most naturally vibrates. We’ve all heard about singers that can break a glass by singing loud enough and long enough at the glass’s resonant frequency. What researchers are finding is that every cell, every bone in your body has its own resonant frequency, and to carry it a little further, we can actually think of disease as disharmony, being “out of tune!” Using music and sound appropriately not only can relax us,
but bring us into harmony with others and nature.
Recently, a lot of work has been done to document the measurable effects that sound can have on the heartbeat, respiration, and the ability to concentrate, and some really exciting exploration is looking at its use in healing and supporting the immune system. Just as different tones can affect the walls of Jericho or a glass, different tones and instruments have been found to affect various parts of the body. There are many elements to sound that affect us, for instance repetitive rhythmic patterns affect breathing and the heart rate, much more than lyrics or melody. Think of all the noises and sounds we are bombarded with everyday!
The knowledgeable use of sound can support us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. During your sound session large crystal bowls will be placed directly on your body and resonated, creating an experience that will overwhelm the senses, alter consciousness, relax the body and release trauma.
The bowls are made from quartz crystal of the same type used in watches and computers--each molecule vibrates at the same frequency creating an extraordinarily pure tone that vibrates through the body and the air.
Within moments the talkative left brain will be silent and the right brain will be activated unleashing a world of color, creativity and emotion. An experience beyond words and thought.
One recent client reported that when the bowls were played on her body, she felt like her body was an empty vessel, vibrating as if it were a musical instrument, like a flute.
