What It's Like To Be a Sound Healer
Send us a text
Picture this: you lay down on a comfortable surface, close your eyes, and for up to an hour your body and mind are lulled into a state of prime restoration and relaxation by listening to the soothing sounds of crystal bowls being played by a master. Laura Penn Gallerstein, a master sound healer, uses a variety of modalities, including crystal bowls and a harmonium, in her sessions. In this episode, Laura explains the science behind the magic (how the vibrations from the bowls affect the vibrations in our bodies--which are comprised of mostly water); as well as the spiritual and musical aspects of the work. She also gives suggestions for anyone struggling with unending to-do lists, or waking up in the middle of the night with your head spinning--and teaches us why living in our parasympathetic nervous system is a much healthier place to be. Laura's message to all of us is, "You are good enough, just who you are."
In this episode:
- What is sound healing with crystal bowls? (02:15)
- Sample of playing the crystal bowls (06:23)
- Why the bowls affect people like they do (07:39)
