Sound Healing
Sound Healing 101
Sound healing is the therapeutic application of sound frequencies to the body/mind of a person with the intention of bringing them into a state of harmony and health. It may be considered new age wellness but sound healing is hardly a new form of therapy. The ancient Greeks used music to cure mental disorders and throughout history, sound has been used to help people work faster, influence, and boost morale. Many also believe that sound can heal the body. That’s because humans have a natural instinct for sound therapy. Just think about how a favorite song can lift your mood.
A good upbeat track can instantly make you feel more energised and happier, while a slow, sad song may hit all the right notes to let you have that good cry you really needed. But the science shows that sound therapy goes far beyond lyrics that hit the spot or the strange calming properties of chanting. The same vibrations that cause sound can have a significant impact on our physical health too. There is also evidence that sound baths and music therapy can be effective for healing, as it encourages relaxation and brings your body into a parasympathetic state.
Sound healing can help you clear energetic blockages and thus facilitate healing on a physical and mental level, benefits may include:
-
reduction in pain
-
stress relief
-
better sleep
-
lower blood pressure
-
elevated moods and emotions
-
elevated mental states
-
improved awareness and mental clarity
-
feelings of being more deeply connected to one's self

Group Sound Bath
Sound baths are a gentle, replenishing experience that help bring your mind & body into a deep state of relaxation through sound & vibration. We will begin with mindful breathing & body awareness practice to center the body & mind, that readies you for the activation of several different soothing instruments. The sounds are powerful yet gentle and will allow you to find a deeper rhythm of breath and relaxation. By accessing these deep states of relaxation via vibration & sound we allow the body to drop down into the Alpha and Theta brainwave frequencies, moving out of “fight or flight” & into “rest & digest”. This is why the experience will not only leave you feeling centered & grounded but also rejuvenated & replenished.

Sound Healing Tools
Singing Bowls
Singing bowls have the capacity to re-equilibrate our energetic field. In meditation, they are used to produce a kind of sonic massage on the body. There are three types of bowls used for sound healing: Tibetan bowls, Alchemy bowls and Quartz Crystal bowls. These bowls, upon being struck, produce a strong sound vibration that produces a feeling of relaxation and simultaneously revitalizes us. The bowls vibration also help to synchronize the frequencies within us, and are great to use in the treatment of illnesses relating to mental imbalance (anxiety, stress, depression, insomnia), for alleviating physical inflammation and reinforcing the immune system.
Binural Beats & tones
Binural beats have also been used to produce different states of perception, generating effects similar to those of a psychedelic drug, but to a lesser extent by altering our brainwave state. These states vary according to the frequency and can induce relaxation, sleepiness, concentration, creativity, the suppression of pain as well as lucid dreaming.
Solfeggio Frequencies
This is a form of music that uses specific sound patterns to stimulate the brain. These special tracks help your brain waves achieve a frequency that has many benefits. Solfeggio Frequencies are typically used for transformational purposes and can help improve relationships, deal with fear and change, awaken one’s intuition, and so on. These Solfeggio Frequencies include a set of sacred numbers with a repeating sequence of 3, 6 and 9, and each Solfeggio Frequency has a specific purpose. These tones contain the frequency required to balance your energy and heal you. For example, the 528 hertz (Hz) frequency can be used to repair DNA and is a frequency of Universal miracles. Solfeggio Frequencies are used in the meditative Soundscapes at Hong Kong’s Fivelements Habitat.
The 7 commonly used Solfeggio Frequencies and their characteristics are:
396 Hz – Liberating Guilt and Fear
417 Hz – Undoing Situations and Facilitating Change
528 Hz – Transformation and Miracles
639 Hz – Connecting Relationships
741 Hz – Awakening Intuition
852 Hz – Returning to Spiritual Order
963 Hz – Divine Consciousness or Enlightenment
Brainwave States:
Beta 12 – 40 Hz / concentration, anxious thoughts
Alpha: 8 – 12 Hz / relaxation, hypnosis, stimulation of the immune system
Theta: 4 – 8 Hz / creativity, light sleep, meditation
Delta: 0 – 4 Hz / healing, deep sleep, memory retention
Vocal Healing
Vocal Healing methods vary for healing with the voice. Without a doubt the most important is song. Pythagoras placed special emphasis on songs and with the help of his monochord he was able to confabulate that a sound is made up of multiple frequencies, imperceptible to the human ear but charged with hundreds of effects.
Mantras
Mantras are often used in meditation, which are another kind of song by using a series of ‘seed syllables’ that use the repetition of their resonance to heal. The most well known is the Buddhist six syllable chant: OM MANI PADME HUM (The Jewel of the Lotus)
Tuning Forks Drums, Rattles, Tingshas & Gongs
Are also used to clear the energetic field, break up stuck energy, bring our thoughts and body back into balance & coherent rhythm and to create a deep sense of calm, peace and harmony to our mind, body & Spirit. Calibrated tuning forks can be held to specific parts of the body to send vibrations that release tension and open blocked energy channels. This form of sound healing is good for emotional balance and pain relief.
