Peaceful Path Sound Healing

Peaceful Path Sound Healing
With Jane Booth Robertson
Certified Sound Energy Dynamics Practitioner and Reiki Master
Sound was the earliest tool used by humans for vibrational healing. Mothers used their voices to calm their babies. When a person was hurt, they groaned. Our bodies are vibrating all the time as we are energy beings. Sound is a vibration, moving in waves Wikipedia describes sounds as “a travelling wave which is an oscillation of pressure transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas, composed of frequencies within the range of hearing and of a level sufficiently strong to be heard, or the sensation stimulated in organs of hearing by such vibrations”. When we pull a sting on a guitar, the strings next to it vibrates from the sound produced.
We each have our own likes and dislikes of music. We know that listening to loud sounds can damage our hearing. Soft sounds calm and relax us. Music affects our emotions. Dance music makes us want to move and be active. Become aware of the sounds around you and how they are affecting your health. Try to get rid of loud, harsh sounds as they are harmful.
We only have to be aware of the power of sound and use it as a key to healing and to assists us to know ourselves more fully as vibrational beings. In my holistic natural sound therapy, I use sound – tuning forks, chants, toning, drumming, rattles, bells - for personal healing and for my clients.
Drumming:
The drum is the earliest instrument to be used for healing and communication. Today, scientists are learning the healing properties of drumming for use in heart disease, Alzheimer’s and cancer treatment.
Tuning Forks:
I use sound with my Reiki sessions as it relaxes and assists in balancing my clients’ energies centers, known as chakras. Sound is a vibrational healing and I pass tuning forks over and around the body, the body responds to these vibrations by relaxing and calming. When our bodies are calm, they can heal naturally.
Chants:
Chanting has also been used since ancient times for healing. Try chanting your own name or tone the vowel sounds – a, e, i,o,u - and feel how your body responds. Feel the sound stirring and awaking and illuminating each cell in your body. Imagine each cell receiving love as you chant. The “Ohm” sound is wonderful to use as you begin to meditate as it opens your consciousness to the Divine as your body soothes and calms from this sound. “Ahhh…is a sound for heart love.
Mantras:
Mantras are groups of words that are repeated over and over. The ancient Vedic teachings have many mantras to use for all areas of our lives. I use simple ones that I make up. Before I go to sleep I repeat “I am calm. I am peace. I am calm. I am peace.” Then, I drift off into a peaceful night’s sleep. Each religion has it’s mantras to repeat. Roman Catholic’s hold rosary beads and repeat a mantra. Hindus and Buddhist use mala beads as they repeat their sacred mantras.
Finding your own Sound
You have a natural resonance (vibration) with the harmony of the Universe. As you meditate, ask for your own sound(s) to use for your personal healing and well-being. Listen…and you will receive a sound or words for you. Find your own voice. Sing your own song.
As I use the tuning forks with clients, I chant or tone intuitively. Before each session, I ask that I will receive the sound that will assist my client. I am always amazed at the sounds that I receive. They are usually short words that have no meaning to me, such as tat or wha or tume and they flow together. I’ve learned not to question what I receive but simply share them. My clients love them and I always look forward to new mantras or chants that I receive.
Personal Sound Healing
Become aware of what music you are listening to each day. Is it healthy for your body? As I was watching the Grammy’s last Sunday evening, I was very aware of what music resonated with my body. Some was just too harsh and brash for me. While the Michael Jackson segment, made my heart sing. Use of swearing words in songs brings negativity, so watch your language. Teens think is it cool to swear and be loud, but their bodies and souls are asking for peace and kindness.
Music has brought peace and joy to the world through so many artists and continues to reveal our society to us. As the artists gather to re-create “We Are the World,” lets assist your life and those around you by creating ‘life sounds’ that bring peace and comfort to yourself and others. Learn to vibrate at the highest vibration of love and send your song of love out into the world as you travel on a peaceful path.
