“In sound we are born, in sound we are healed.”
Mehtab Benton
Sound reaches where words and medicine cannot go.
Sound healing is a gentle, non invasive, deeply therapeutic healing modality. During a sound bath you can simply relax, rejuvenate, or go to very deep places of meditation and insight. The frequencies, overtones of these bowls take you to a place of beauty, love and peace. Through receiving sound you awaken your body’s innate healing abilities and you are able to de-stress your nervous system, realign on a deep, cellular level. The many benefits of sound baths and healing sound sessions are:
Improve sleep
Reduce depression and anxiety
Expand consciousness and creativity
Improve brain functioning and memory and mental clarity
Modify breathing rate, blood pressure and heart rate
Group sound bath
What is a sound bath?
Sound baths are a group experience in which multiple crystal singing bowls are played at the same time creating a symphony of sound. I often tone with the bowls, using my own voice to blend, to create harmonies, dissonances and resolutions. I also create binaural beats with my voice and the bowls, which enhances deep relaxation, meditation and creativity. These sound immersions are called sound baths, because you literally feel that your whole being is being bathed in sound, cleansing you on a cellular level.
How does it work?
The Alchemy Crystal Bowls are 99% pure Quartz Crystal heated to 4000 degrees Fahrenheit, infused with precious metals, gemstones. They vibrate at frequencies that produce powerful sound waves. Because our bodies are crystalline in nature, they are deeply affected by crystal bowls. Sound therapy is focusing on the physical effects of sound, and is being used to help people with cancer, depression, high blood pressure, pain management, and many more.
What can I feel during, after a sound bath?
People often report a deep sense of relaxation, peace, connection with nature, feeling grounded, being bathed in unconditional love, a sense of ‘coming home’, feeling more balanced, release of sadness and emotions related to loss and grief.
Individual sound session
An individual sound healing session is very similar to a sound bath, but it is more personal and is tailored to your particular needs. During an individual sound session you can access deep insight, experience different brain waves and altered states of consciousness, and you go through deep therapy without necessarily talking. Bowls can be placed on your body, where you can feel the vibrations more intensely, helping the nervous system regulate and balance itself. You may also use your own voice as your most powerful healing instrument, hum or tone with the bowls.
Palliative and End of Life Sessions
I have had the honour to play the Alchemy Crystal Bowls in palliative care and at assisted deaths. It is a service I believe has tremendous ability to help the people that are involved. It brings comfort to the dying person and helps their families and friends, not to mention doctors and nurses.
