Bowen balance, complimentary therapies and sound therapies for your well-being

Sound therapy uses therapeutic instruments to produce specific sounds and vibrations that resonate with the body on a deep, cellular level. These sounds are carefully chosen to align with the body’s natural frequencies, activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for rest, relaxation, and well-being.

When the body is in a state of stress, the sympathetic nervous system (the "fight or flight" system) becomes dominant. Sound therapy helps shift the body from this stressed state to a more balanced and restful one, encouraging healing and relaxation. It can also help align the chakras. This process helps reduce stress, lower heart rate, decrease blood pressure, and promote overall well-being.

​

Chakras, what are they, and how does sound therapy affect them? 

 

​Chakras are energy points in the body that regulate physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. There are seven physical chakras: Root, Sacral, Solar plexus, Heart, Throat, Third eye and Crown Chakras . But, how does this relate to the body and sound? 

​

Chakras, biofields, and neuroscience are interconnected in understanding the body’s energy system. While chakras and biofields are metaphysical, neuroscience shows that practices like sound therapy can alter brainwaves, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reduce stress, and relaxation.

​

Instruments Used in Sound Therapy

 

​Sound therapy is performed with a variety of instruments that create harmonious vibrations. Two examples of common sound therapy instruments include:

• Singing Bowls (Tibetan and Crystal):
  Tibetan singing bowls are metal and produce rich, harmonic tones when struck or sung. These tones promote deep relaxation, meditation, and emotional healing. Crystal singing bowls are made from quartz, produce clear, high-pitched sounds that may aid in clearing energy blockages and restore balance within the body’s energy field.

• Gongs:
  Gongs have been used for thousands of years for spiritual and healing purposes. Their deep, resonant tones have a powerful vibrational effect on the body and mind, which helps to release stress, clear negative energy, and again, aid in relaxation.
   

Key Benefits of Sound Therapy

​

• Stress Reduction: Sound therapy, with calming sounds like music or nature noises, helps reduce anxiety and promotes relaxation.

• Improved Sleep: Gentle, soothing sounds aid in falling asleep and improve the overall quality of sleep.

• Pain Relief: Some forms of sound therapy can help relieve pain by releasing tension in the body and encouraging healing.

• Emotional Healing: Sound therapy helps with emotional regulation, promoting calmness and well-being.

• Mental Clarity: By balancing brainwave activity with specific sound frequencies, sound therapy can improve focus and mental clarity. 
   

​​​Sound therapies can be tailored to an individual or offered as a sound bath where a group of people are 'bathed' in sound vibrations. Sessions may have a specific focus such as gong baths, full moon rituals, equinox/solstice celebrations etc,  chanting, and more.

 

Mediation and grounding is often integrated at the beginning of a sound bath to help calm the mind, ground the body, and prepare the energy, ensuring a deeper, more effective experience. Our regular  sound baths are open to all, and we are happy to discuss your needs and any contraindications**/queries prior to attending a sound bath with us. Please get in touch,
