Sound Therapy
|
The study of the effects of sound on the acceleration of the psychotherapeutic process is continuing to show profound results. Behavioral researchers have found that sound can help change brain state and alter perception. Psychoacoustic technology continues to expand and provide powerful positive changes to include the physical, mental and emotional systems.
It has been established that all matter vibrates at specific frequencies. This Sound work, also known as Acutonics or Sonic Alchemy, is an integrated approach that touches every part of our physical being. This sound work uses Tuning Forks and Sacred Gongs (see Tuning Forks and Sacred Gongs sections below on this page). Sound is heard not only through our ears but also felt and recognized by our skin and bones, essentially, by every cell in our bodies. Sound travels efficiently through water. The human body is composed primarily of water and fluids. Therefore, when tuning forks are placed on specific areas of the body, the sound vibration travels efficiently to the directed system. Sound therapy is profound among the many natural and holistic modalities that activate and support the body’s self regulating and healing mechanisms. When tuning forks and gongs are used in a session, you will lay comfortably clothed on a massage table. The practitioner places the tuning forks on multiple acupressure points and meridians of your body. The particular order of points and forks used will vary according to your situation and specific needs. At some point, singing bowls and gongs may also be used. This technique has been found to be profound by boosting the bodies healing centers and creating an extremely relaxing and calm altered state. It is most beneficial, when used regularly, as a means of upkeep and prevention of possible "dis-ease" and to keep the body, mind, spirit in balance. Below is a short article written by Madisyn Taylor published in the Daily OM Sound Healing BY MADISYN TAYLOR When the vibrations of our physical and spiritual bodies are out of harmony, it can cause disease. Everything in the universe is in a constant state of vibration, including our bodies. Sound is vibration that can be translated by the delicate structures of our inner ear, but it moves more than just those tiny receptors. It is part of the spectrum of energy vibrations that affect us on the mental, physical, and spiritual levels. Long ago shamans recognized the power of sound when they first used chants and drumming to heal people. In ancient Egypt, Greece, and India, the use of sound and music for healing was a highly developed sacred science. Sonic vibration has been one way of experiencing the energy of the universe for much of humanity's history. When the vibrations of our physical and spiritual bodies are out of harmony disease may manifest. Sound healing gently massages the molecules back into the right places, clearing blockages and restoring harmony. Ancient healing systems such as Chinese medicine and Indian Ayurveda associate specific musical notes with subtle-energy systems of the body, such as in yoga where particular notes of music correspond to each of the seven chakras. In Tibet, priests have long used bells and bowls over and around the body to tune and clear the energy centers. Chimes and tuning forks are other tools that have been used to heal not only the body but the energy in a room as well. Knowing that sound has the power to heal, we should also try to remember that sounds from modern life can have a negative affect. Choosing silence over discord may help us maintain a state of equilibrium. As we seek soothing and harmonizing sounds to surround us, we may be doing more than creating a balm for the noise of the world. We may actually be performing an act of self-healing that connects us with one of the most basic vibrations of the universe. |
Tuning Forks
|
The tuning fork was developed more than 400 years ago. In Western society, they may be used for neurological testing and to scan for fractures. Today it has been scientifically proven that this sound therapy, when skillfully applied, provides far reaching and profound beneficial aspects from several directions in the body. Our energy-based sound technique is a non-invasive approach stemming from Eastern practice. The tuning forks are calibrated precisely and each fork represents a natural harmonic series based on the orbital properties of the planets in our universe. The tuning forks are designed to create micro-vibrations that are applied directly to channels or meridians in the body. They might be considered to be narrow spectrum in nature, while the gongs could be considered broad spectrum in nature.

Sacred Gongs
|
The Gong is one of man’s most powerful, oldest transformational and therapeutic instruments. Evidence suggests that gong making was known as early as 4,000 BC. Gong qualities were known to ancient cultures such as Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Persians and Mongols. It is known as an instrument of transformational power. It is a tool by which we are engulfed in total sound. Gongs are useful in resolving emotional and physical dissonance. The Gong is a psycho-acoustic gateway to heightened states of awareness and consciousness. It is an ideal tool for stress reduction, stimulation of the glandular system, and to break up emotional blockages. Gongs stimulate all cells in the human body simultaneously and recalibrate the parasympathetic nervous system. An essential key to the gong’s force of resonance, and its effectiveness, is the complete submersion and saturation of a person in layer upon layer of tone-cell multiplication. The universal Gong sound is based on the musical principle that all tones of equal amplitude keep resonating, adding to themselves, to produce cumulative offspring, so to speak. This is a phenomenon unique to gongs and replicates exactly what happens in the building of the human physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.

Reflexology
|
Reflexology takes place primarily on the foot. It is an ancient healing technique that applies pressure to the points on the feet causing corresponding systems or organs to release toxins and stress. This helps cleanse the system and return the body to it's optimal state of health. Reflexology is effective in bringing about a deep state of relaxation. The practitioner will put pressure on or massage multiple points all over the foot. The type of reflexology practiced here is one of “spa reflexology" which is gentle and relaxing. It is not deep in therapeutic nature. It can help support the immune system by releasing stress and stimulating multiple systems.

Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese technique used to reduce stress and promote relaxation and healing. Life force energy (Chi) is what causes us to be alive. If this energy is low, we are more likely to get sick or feel stress and if it is high, we are more likely to stay healthy. With the practice of Reiki the practitioner gently lays his/her hands on or over multiple areas of the body. The energy is directed from the practitioner's hands into the client and recharging the Chi. It is powerful and compliments any other form of health care.
Distant or remote Reiki healings use energy that can take place across any distance that is sent to a recipient since energy can be sent via thought, emotion, and intention. ... Stretching beyond the limits of time and space, distance healing sends energy healing to reach you no matter where you are. Reiki distance healing is just like an in-person Reiki session, except for the fact that you can receive the healing energy from practitioners who are anywhere in the world. There’s no need to be in the same room as the Reiki Master as this energy is not bound by physical space. It’s an ideal solution if you have a busy schedule, you’re away from home, or in self quarantine, but you still want to keep your energy fields balanced. In addition, with a distance healing session, you won’t have to stop what you’re doing if you’re unable to, though I believe it is more profound if you are “quiet and connected” with the practitioner.

Chakra Balancing
The Chakra Balance modality focuses on the 7 main energy centers in our body in which energy flows. Blocked energy in these centers can lead to imbalance and possible illness. Clearing these areas is critical to the overall well being of the body, mental, emotional and spiritual. The practitioner places their hands or tuning forks on or over each of these 7 energy centers and works with each center individually to “clear” and clean the Chakra and bring it back to balance.
High Touch Jin Shin
The Jin Shin modality is an ancient art of harmonizing the life energy in the body. It utilizes 26 places (points) in the body that maybe called “safety energy locks”. These are similar to points on a meridian with acupressure. Working with these “locks” can guide the body back to harmony. One could compare Jin Shin to using jumper cables. The practitioners hands help "jumpstart" the client's body and get the necessary juice to the "battery". The client will lay on a massage table and the practitioner places his/her hands on multiple combinations of some of the 26 points. There is a pulse in the flow of the energy between the points. The practitioner works to establish balance between these points and then moves on to the next set of points in order to restore the overall balance in the body.
Quantum Touch
The Quantum Touch technique amplifies and directs Chi (Life force energy) by combining various breathing and energy awareness. It facilitates the body’s own healing process. In application, the practitioner places her/his hands directly on the point of discomfort and uses different breathing techniquest to direct the enerfy. Results can be extraordinary.
Psych-K
Psych-K is a unique and direct way to identify and change the subconscious beliefs that perpetuate old habits and behaviors. It is conversational in nature. The practitioner also uses the muscle system to access the subconscious mind and discover limiting beliefs that sabotage your self esteem, relationships, goals, job performance and your physical health. Psych–K provides a safe, effective way to “rewrite” the “software” of your mind. It helps shift sabotaging beliefs into beliefs that support you quickly and easily. It uses a “whole brain” system balance to connect and balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain and subtly shifts limiting beliefs and behavior patterns that no longer serve you.
Astrology
Astrology is an ancient and ongoing science that studies the correspondences of the planets in the universe. It is the study of patterns and relationships -- of planets in motion, our birth chart, synastry with others, and the make-up of elements -- and using this knowledge as a tool to find meaning and understanding. Astrology is an incredible tool of self-discovery. It can shine light on inner contradictions and natural strengths. As a map of the psyche, the birth chart is a guide to self-understanding that never stops revealing new layers of insight.
