WHAT IS A SOUND JOURNEY?

What is a sound journey, aka sound “bathing”? What are the benefits?

RELEASING ENERGY BLOCKAGES ENABLES POSITIVE ENERGY TO FLOW!

Our bodies are made up of energy centers and meridians. When our bodies are exposed to sound, we are able to release blocked energy, old cellular memories from trauma, negative emotions, and other blockages that are the cause of mental, emotional, or physical dis-ease. The sounds introduced help to release energetic blockages in our mind/body which enables space for new healthy energy to come in.

- - Mental: Sound can assist in relieving stress and tension. It also helps to quieten repetitive thought patterns from a busy mind & relaxes one into a meditative state where deep inner silence & stillness is experienced.
  - Emotional: Sound helps to move and release emotions which are stored in the body. Through this process old patterns and behaviors which are no longer serving one’s highest good are released. The release of these emotions allows for a greater flow of energy throughout the body by clearing energy blockages.
  - Physical: Sound can cleanse the organs of toxins in your body and help to regulate their functions as each has its own frequency. Sound can help to relieve constipation, headaches, throat problems, stomach-aches, and aches in the joints and bones.
  - Spiritual: Sound can clear negative energies or entities that may be attached to one’s aura or any other part of one’s being.

Our bodies are also made up of approximately 80% water, so our bodies are excellent conductors of sound.

“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” -Albert Einstein

Sound vibrations and specific frequencies will be combined with guided meditation and intention setting. It is through the simple utilization of attention and intention that the energetics within us can transform.

Sound amplifies our true inner nature. When we focus on the positive states inherently within, the sound assists in realizing and sustaining this positive state within us! Sometimes that inner state become muddied or blocked so we were unable to see or access it. And so we work with clearing and balancing the entire pathway from ground to sky, from root to crown, from foot to head, and beyond!

My instruments include the Premium Heaven and Earth 9 Bowl Frosted Crystal Bowl Chakra Set with 432 Hz tuning. In addition to 7 bowls for each of the 7 chakras, this set includes the low F for the Earth Star which is located below the Root Chakra (my favorite!!!) and the high C for the Soul Star which is located above the Crown Chakra. These bowls are powerful and you will experience the strong vibrations they send out. I also have a beautiful and powerful gong, Koshi chimes, an ocean drum, a water fountain, and more, to accentuate the sound experience.

The instruments in a sound journey facilitate shifts in our brainwave state through “entrainment”.

“Entrainment synchronizes our fluctuating brainwaves by providing a stable frequency which the brainwave can attune to. By using rhythm and frequency, we can entrain our brainwaves and it then becomes possible to down-shift our normal beta state (normal waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxed consciousness), and even reach theta (meditative state) and delta (sleep; where internal healing can occur). This same concept is utilized in meditation by regulating the breath, but with sound it’s the frequency that is the agent which influences the shift.” [*Nate Martinez]

All you need to do is participate! Come rest, come connect, come explore what awaits your discovery!
