WHAT EXACTLY IS SOUND THERAPY?

Sound Therapy is a form of vibrational energy work which uses sound vibration to clear, open and cleanse the energy field of the affected client.  It is based on the theory that everything in the universe vibrates, including our bodies, each at its own specific and natural frequency. When disparity occurs within the body, through imbalance in the body’s own rhythm, cycle and pulse systems, the subsequent imbalance can become evident through distress to your mental, emotional and physical wellbeing, which consequently can show itself through symptoms of disease.
Sound therapy has a wide-ranging treatment base and there are many methods of treatment available within New Zealand.  The methods available are; music based auditory retraining, listening & auditory retraining and The Tomatis Method, all of which can help a diverse range of individuals.  The environment where the treatment takes place can be chosen by the individual, treatment can be at home. However, some therapies necessitate preliminary instruction from the practitioner.
Sound Therapy uses specialised recorded classical music and nature sounds to retrain the way we process sound and listen. Treatment can restore our ability to hear frequencies, which may have diminished through ear problems such as infections or loud noise exposure.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM SOUND THERAPY SESSIONS

A sound therapy session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes.  You should expect the initial session to be longer as your therapist will ask you about your medical history along with other relevant health and lifestyle details.  You will lie down fully dressed on a massage table while sound is applied in your energy field above the body.  Sound healing treatments may be combined with Acupuncture or performed alone.
Practitioners use various tools such as singing bowls, Tibetan bells, symphonic gonging and drumming.  Singing Bowls are gonged on the abdomen or back to create audible sound and direct vibration on the body.  A Tibetan Bell is gonged above the singing bowls to create an audible layered effect of harmonics, which are essential to affecting your mood. Individuals who choose to embark upon meditative journey pathway can alongside the Sound Therapy and Acupuncture ask for drumming to be included.  In addition Precision Calibrated Tuning Forks can also be used as well as or instead of Acupuncture needles upon certain areas of the body.  Specific frequencies are used in order to relax, stimulate and balance the body in the desired manner.  People experience energy in different forms including colours, resurfaced memories, feeling tingling sensations and energy pulses moving through their chakras.
The length of treatment will depend on your specific needs and the state of health you want to maintain.  A monthly session is recommended for optimum health and to allow your body to vibrate at its highest frequency.
It is also advisable to drink larger quantities of water for a few days after your sound therapy session to help flush out the toxins and heavy energy released during treatment.
