Episode: 382 Alternative Therapies - Sound Healing
As I continue to discuss alternative methods of healing today I'm talking about sound therapy or sound healing. Maybe you know about Tibetan singing bowls or have heard about taking a sound bath. When we talk about sound healing, that is a broad term that implies using the modality of sound for various types of intended purposes.
I have experienced sound healings on the floor on a mat, I've been on massage-type table, and I've experienced two "floating" sound baths one in the silks (typically used acrobatically) and one in water. Often singing bowls are involved, often drums, gongs, tuning forks, or voices are involved. The theory behind the practice is that because our bodies are 60% water, vibration from sound effectively penetrates our tissue. Therefore, blood pressure, mood, and even pain can be impacted by sound.
The floating sound bath when I was suspended in the silks was particularly distinct for me because the sound so thoroughly enveloped and surrounded me. The experience was so soothing and immersive. It was conducted by a woman whose pain was also transformed by sound healing after a car accident. Sound healing shifted what acupuncture, physical therapy, and medication hadn't.
For me, sound healing is moving and nourishing. Research has even shown that different frequencies access different states of being. Different hertz help us access delta, theta, and other brain states. See how listening at those frequencies impact your nervous system.
Have you had a sound healing? How has it worked for you?
I'm Annette Leonard, speaker, coach, and sick person who believes that my illnesses do not define me. If health is the absence of disease and wellness is the presence of wholeness, then no matter what your disease status, we can work toward your wellness, your wholeness.
Whether or not you are ever "healthy" on paper, you can be well. Join me and others on the path back to wholeness at AnnetteLeonard.com. Whether you are a person experiencing chronic illness or are someone who loves or serves people with chronic illness I have great resources here on this channel or on my website for you.
