Sound Modalities That We Love

 Singing bowls have long been used in Tibet and neighboring areas for religious and spiritual ceremonies, as well as meditation, healing and balancing.

 Once you have heard the sound of the crystal bowls, you understand how they seem to resonate with your soul and engage every part of your being.   

According to some sources, singing bowls can be used to:  Lessen pain Improve sleep Reduce anger Improve blood pressure Reduce depression Improve general well-being  Gina and Janie both love to play the bowls - just to be in their vibration and to feel the spiritual connection they bring. Being with the bowls makes them feel wonderful as they allow the vibration to clear their energy as well as clear the space they are in.  And they are a joy to be with - they are beautiful!

Chanting is another ancient practice, which many believe helps connect the person who is chanting with the divine. Chanting is also thought to expand consciousness and is often associated with balancing the chakras. 

As the vibration resonates in the physical body it also activates the Vagus Nerve which helps the body move from Fight/Flight (sympathetic nervous system) and into Rest/Digest (parasympathetic nervous system). Researchers have discovered that many of us are "stuck" in Fight/Flight due to significant stressors (such as a world wide pandemic). Chanting can help bring the nervous system back into balance. 

Drumming uses rhythm and sound to create a healing energy. 

Drumming circles have been used as healing rituals for centuries, and drumming is still used to produce a profound healing effect.

Shamanic drumming is rhythmic form of drumming at a fast pace. It allows the two hemispheres in the brain to balance and move into a more relaxing state of mind.  

 Ancient shamans put this into practice and science is now catching to this powerful means of meditation and spiritual journey. 

 Wind whistles recreate the sound of the wind are are often used in shamanic practice or meditation.
The sound created evokes the mystery of the spirits carried on the wind throughout time.

Shamans have long used whistles when performing Shamanic Journeys.  

The didgeridoo is a wind instrument developed by the Australian Aboriginal people to accompany ceremonial dancing and singing. It is a long wooden tube traditionally made from a hollow branch. 

It is used for vibrational healing to clear energetic and emotional blocks. To quote Daran Wallman on HealingEarthResources.net, "The didgeridoo works like a psychic leaf blower, blowing away everything unwanted.” 

Tuning forks are becoming more prominent in the field of energy healing. This is one of the modalities often used during Reiki or Energy Healing sessions. 

Eileen McKusick has written a few books on this subject (which we recommend) and owns the company Biofield Tuning. 

As she explains on her website, " All physical, mental and emotional disorders can be perceived as "dissonance" in our electrical system. Biofield Tuning is able to locate, diminish and resolve this dissonance and in doing so, alleviate and even eradicate the corresponding physical, mental and/or emotional symptoms. "

According to solfeggioguide.com, "the solfeggio frequencies are powerful meditation and chakra aligning tools.

 Each of these frequencies is believed to affect different elements the of the spirit and energies. The solfeggio tones only need to be listened to for a few minutes a day for the de-stressing effect to take place."
