My understanding of the power of sound to heal happened when I was convalescing from numerous surgeries and I discovered the Music of Benjamin Joost and spent hundreds of hours laying in my recovery bed listening to the sound of himaylan singing bowls. The sound resonance became deeply etched on my consciousness and I truly believe that it was their constant sound that allowed me to heal. Using the Himalayan singing bowls and mantra I provide a safe and sacred space to allow an exploration each person's inner connections to the cosmic energy that underlies all of life. The Himalayan bowls that I use were painstakingly matched and collected.
I am extremely lucky to have come into possession of such magical bowls and I hope that I get the opportunity to share their treasured sounds with you.
In Bali as I studied mantra and Dasa Vayu with I Made Sumantra the unifying nature of how sound creates connection became clear to me. Using a combination of mantra and gongs the Indonesians people developed an excellent healing strategy. It was through my studies with I Made Sumantra that I finally decided to begin to use the singing bowls in conjunction with mantra to facilitate healing. Himalayan singing bowls are a form of resting gong and in the Indonesion culture, there is a preserved knowledge of using sound to create a connection to the cosmic. The tradition I was taught by my guru is that you must first help your client to create an initial connection to the cosmic through sound or mantra. Once that connection is made then healing can proceed.
Although I am still learning and continue to study, I do now feel confident that I can help people reach that point connection with the cosmic universal healing energy and help them to overcome their problems.
Sound healing works on the principles of resonance and entrainment: every object is in a state of vibration. All parts of the body both physical and subtle are in a constant state of vibratory motion.
When your body is vibrating at it's normal healthy frequencies you experience health. If a part of your body begins to function incorrectly it vibrates at a frequency that is not harmonious to it's normal rate of vibration. Since all vibratory systems have a natural tendency to move toward a state of resonance it is possible to use sound to project the correct resonance back into the body, causing the return of the natural frequency and health. To truly effect healing you can not only make a sound but it must be made with intention.
It is the combination of intention and vibration that can effect healing. Sound carries the intention and the body responds by retuning itself to it's natural healthy frequency. So by setting an intention to heal and leading the body to the correct vibrational frequency wonderful things can occur.
