Sound Healing has been around for a few thousand years. Yet the deep healing benefits have been re-discovered. Sound Healing works through healing the body through vibration. Our body is a mass of sensations and vibrations and it is directly through the body that the effects of sound healing are felt and absorbed whether our mind is aware of it or not. As we are approx 70 per cent water, our bodys are very resonent to the vibration of sound. So when we are immersed in sound healing, the vibrations go straignt to the cells and works through the various energetic layers of our being.
So all you have to do is to set the body up in a cosy relaxation lying out and the rest just happens organically with "no effort" while receiving a bath of sound vibrations. Sound Healings are also referred to Sound Baths!
Different instruments are made and set to certain frequencies. Sound healing allows your body to heal itself by slowing down your brain waves, which affect every cell in your body, shifting them from imbalance or "dis-ease" to being "in ease". It's about aligning your body with whatever you need. Our emotions are deeply connected to sound and may help to releases and to unlock the blocked emotions with ease and grace.
Do you ever notice how you feel when your favourite song is played? You may experience sensations of tingling or something else but it is the body that is directly responding to the vibrations as the body's vibrations "are met" by the vibrations of the sound and that is what brings healing, equilibrium and a sense of wellbeing. Sound Therapy goes enters the body's energy field and so bypasses the mind. Therefore it is this sense of "no effort" required and just to relax and to enjoy!
Sonya Harnett from Yoga Essence, Celbridge holds regular Sound Healing events in various locations where you can experience the amazing benefits and deep rest.
We are delighted to offer Sound Healing Therapy through the uniquely soft sounds of Himalayan singing bowls, gongs, drums, tuning forks and other instruments that offer natural sounds that gently restore and bring harmony back to the mind an body, deeply relaxing. The client is guided to lie down in shavasana (lying out supported on mat) covered in cosy blankets and use of eye pillows and guided into a deep relaxation to prepare for the healing.
