Why attend a Sound Bath?A Sound Bath not only sounds amazing, but each instrument serves a purpose, all with the common goal to allow the mind and body to come into a deep state of relaxation called a parasympathetic state. When in this state, it activates the bodies ability to heal, repair and restore. Our body's natural healthy vibration or resonant frequency, can be thrown out of balance by chronic stress, physical illness, injury, trauma or even grief. And Sound Healing can quite literally offer you a "tune up" and so much more! The more relaxed we become, the deeper and quicker our bodies, minds and emotions rejuvenate and come back into balance and ultimately harmony. Sound is a vibration that travels thru air, water and solids and therefore the human body. And sound has the capacity to shift neurochemistry and neurobiology in profound ways and is a therapeutic tool to unleash human potential. QUOTE: "If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes. Sound can redress imbalances on every level of physiologic functioning and can play a positive role in the treatment of virtually any medical disorder." - Dr. Mitchell Gaynor, director of Medical Oncology and Integrative Medicine, at the Cornell Cancer Prevention Center in New York

What happens during a Sound Bath?Sound Baths are all about comfort! Typically participants are invited to lie down on a mat, perhaps a pillow, blanket and / or eye cover. ( sitting during a sound bath is always an option when arranged ahead of time ) Once in a comfy position, participants and are enveloped by the soothing and healing sounds of crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes etc… So, as you experience specific frequencies or vibrations emitted during a sound bath, our bodies respond by absorbing and resonating with these frequencies and vibrations, which impacts our cellular activity. So, it is not uncommon for some participants to feel the vibrations of the singing bowls in their bodies. The human body is very receptive to sound because we are made up of about 70% fluid. And sound travels most effectively & fastest thru fluids. The mind also synchronizes and entrains with the frequencies and vibrations that are being played and enters into a theta state of deep relaxation (some where between being awake and asleep). In this state, the mind is often more receptive to accessing subconscious information and can experience heightened creativity and deep insights. During a Sound Journey, people will often experience not only a deep sense of calm, which on its own is extremely beneficial and healing, but sound bathing can also offer clarity, perspective and even inspiration. Others still, may perceive, visions, colours or feel like they are floating out of body or feel a deep spritual connection. Each Sound Bath offering is a unique and deeply personal experience! Ultimately, the frequencies and vibrations of a sound bath help to reduce stress, ignite our healing response, enhance mental clarity and restore a sense of balance and peace. QUOTE: If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. - Nikola Tesla

Science and benefits of Sound BathingScientific studies show that sound can produce changes in: - the autonomic nervous system and the Vagus nerve (which regulates involuntary physiological processes in the body such as; heart rate, respiration, digestion etc... ) - the immune system ( cells, tissues and organs related to the body defence and immune response ) - the endocrine systems ( glands and organs that regulate the production and release of hormones that control growth, reproduction, stress, metabolism etc...) -and can influence brainwave patterns. The Vagus nerve is also activated, putting your mind and body into a parasympathetic state. When the body enters this state, it works towards; - helping the body rest, repair and regulate body functions. - improving sleep quality - enhancing the immune system - lowering blood pressure - helps with digestion and heart rate - increasing mental clarity, concentration and focus. The vibrations and frequencies emitted during a Sound Bath can also aid in reducing anxiety, relieving tension and facilitate the release of suppressed emotions which impacts overall health.

History of Sound BathingSound Bathing, dates back thousands of years across various cultures. It traces its roots back to ancient civilizations including the Egyptians, Greeks, Chinese and indigenous peoples. These societies recognized the therapeutic and transformative healing power of sound and sound was revered for its powerful effects on the mind, body and spirit. While ancient Chinese traditions used singing bowls, Indigenous cultures utilized their voices, chanting and drumming during sacred ceremonies for healing and spiritual connection. These traditions recognized that sound could reach deep with the human psyche, bringing about profound transformation and restoration. In ancient Greece, Pythagoras explored the mathematical and harmonic aspects of sound, laying the groundwork for the understanding of vibrational healing. In the renaissance period, renowned visionary and thinker, Leonardo da Vinci, explored the mathematical and harmonious nature of sound. The discovery of musical intervals and mathematical ratios laid the foundation of western music theory. This new understanding of sound as a tool for harmonizing the human experience fuelled advancements in music therapy. In the mid-20th century, Dr. Tomatis developed the "Tomatis Method" which used modified music and sound frequencies to stimulate the auditory system and stimulate cognitive development. And, Hans Jenny, a Swiss scientist, philosopher and physician performed extensive research while studying the impact of sound waves on physical matter. He named this science of sound "cymatics". It showed that visual patterns are formed by different tones, offering insights into the effects of sound on matter. He discovered that sound can create intricate patterns in sand and other substances. This lead to the development of sound therapy in modern medicine and the creations technologies such as the ultrasound and sonography. And so, the journey of sound continued as the 1960's and 70's brought about musicians and sound healers who began experimenting with various instruments to create immersive experiences designed to bring participants into a meditative ( theta ) state. And in recent years, sound therapy has gained widespread recognition as a complimentary healing practice. It is now employed to facilitate relaxation, stress reduction and pain relief in various healing settings such as hospitals, spas, wellness centres etc... Sound Baths remarkable history from ancient civilizations to the modern world, and its presence across different cultures and time periods reveals its enduring presence. It has been recognized as powerful medium for healing, rejuvenation and growth to foster harmony within ourselves and the world around us. "In the symphony of life, every vibration brings us closer to balance and peace."

Guided Meditations
Nurture you inner calm
Be verbally guided and transported to realms of serenity and self-discovery. Be taken on a journey through visualizations that relieve stress while reconnecting you to your highest-self and while finding greater inner peace and clarity. Guided Meditations aim to promote relaxation, self-discovery, healing, personal growth and often result in a deeper understanding and connection with oneself. And when accompanied by the soothing and healing sounds of a Crystal Singing Bowl Sound Bath, it creates a powerful and magical experience. By taking participants through a detailed meditative journey, the experience is similar to that of having a real experience. Research shows our brains do not distinguish between being led through a real event or an imagined event. So, our brains can experience strong imagined signals as reality. This is done using some focused breathing techniques, mindfulness cues and themed visualizations. Together this allows for deep exploration of inner thoughts or emotions and fosters a sense of peace and well-being. "Embrace the silence, for it is there that true healing unfolds." GUIDED MEDITATION is a popular Sound Bath "add-on" for your next Private, Corporate or Collaborative event. Please reach out for more information.

Reiki
Unlock your power within
Experience the gentle flow of Reiki energy to restore harmony to mind, body and spirit. Discovered in the early 1900’s by Mikao Usui Sensei, Reiki has measurable benefits on the physiological and emotional well-being of clients — With this ancient Japanese healing technique, Reiki energy is used to reduce stress and restore both physical and emotional balance — think of it as an energetic massage. The Reiki practitioner acts as a conduit for universal life force energy, transferring this energy to the client by gently placing their hands on or just above specific energetic locations (Chakras) of the body in order to ignite the body's own self-healing mechanisms. Life Force Energy flows through our energetic centers (Chakras). Each chakra is connected to specific organs, body parts and emotions. So healthy energy flow is vital to the healthy functioning of our body and its functioning as well as our emotional health. Energy also flows outside the body in an energy field called the Aura (also known as the Energetic Body or Electromagnetic Field). The Aura is an extension of our being, and is a storehouse of all positive and negative energies. The free and balanced flow of healthy energy in and around the body is critical to well-being. By using gentle-touch therapy to target the energy centers (Chakras) of the body, Reiki aids in unblocking and balancing this flow of energy. Energy blockages can be caused by: prolonged stress, injury/accidents, surgery, disease, exhaustion, personal trauma, emotional crises, suppressed feelings, like anger or fear, and self-limiting thoughts. A disrupted energy flow (or, energy blockage) in the body or the aura diminishes our functioning on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level, and if ignored long enough may eventually lead to illness. Reiki releases the negative energy and relieves blockages, facilitating healthy energy flow and allowing the body to heal itself. When our energy is flowing easily, we find ourselves physically healthy, happy, clear-minded, and emotionally balanced — this all helps us to better connect with ourselves, others and our spirituality. During a session, clients may experience the energy as sensations of heat, cold, shivers, tingling, and pulsing or go into a deeply relaxed meditative state. It is not uncommon for a person to fall asleep during the treatment and typically they leave a session feeling very relaxed and peaceful. Overall, Reiki helps the body activate it’s healing processes and restore physical, mental, emotional and spiritual balance.

Integrated Energy Therapy
Embrace balance and elevate your energy
A unique light touch therapy for holistic healing and emotional well-being. IET (Integrated Energy Therapy) addresses unresolved emotions and blockages stored in the body and its energy field. Using specific hand placement, healing energy is channelled to various points on the body where suppressed emotions and energetic imprints from past experiences are stored — also known as Cellular Memory Points. These cellular memory points are believed to hold memories of unresolved emotions and traumas leaving energetic imprints that can become “stuck” or trapped in the body's energy field or tissues. These imprints may contribute to physical and emotional discomfort. IET releases stored negative emotions and addresses blockages. This practice helps to gently clear and rebalance your energy centers (chakras), promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual health. IET combines elements from several energy healing traditions, like Reiki, therapeutic touch, and metaphysical concepts related to the human energy field, chakras, and cellular memory. It is designed to help individuals clear negative patterns from their physical and energetic body, release suppressed emotions, reduce stress, promote well-being and support personal growth. Please refer to REIKI for pricing of services.
