I know a lot of you know me from having attended one of my regular Gong Immersions but I just thought I'd hop on and give you a bit more detail about 1:1 treatments as, although some similarities, they are also quite different to experiencing sound in a group session......
In 1:1 sound therapy we use sound, frequency and vibration to support you on your healing journey. We always start with a detailed consultation to discuss which areas of your life you are looking for support with, both emotional, physical and spiritual....
Frequency and vibration can help to reduce anxiety and stress, bring about mental clarity and enhance mood as well as alleviating pain. Both weighted tuning forks and Himalayan singing bowls can be placed on the body which can set off a number of physiological effects on our whole being. These include stimulating and activating nitric oxide which can bring about balance to our autonomic nervous system, improve cell vitality and heart health and boost our immune system. With our bodies being made up of roughly 70% water we are amazing conductors of sound and vibration - bring to mind a pebble being thrown into a pond and the ripples this produces - now picture that vibration travelling through your whole system when a weighted tuning fork or bowl is played on your body. Weighted turning forks can also be played on the body to stimulate specific points along the meridians to restore the flow of harmonious energy.
We also use instruments like the hand held Drum and Gong to produce 'brainwave entrainment' - as you listen to the continuous beat and pulse your brainwaves will synchronise to this beat, lowering your state of consciousness and guiding you down into a deeper state of relaxation where transformation can occur....
Crystal bowls and unweighted tuning forks are also used to produce musical intervals - these intervals can be either harmonising or releasing and as such can work to restore harmony or to release any negative, unwanted thoughts or feelings along with 'stuck' energy depending on which intervals we use.
You will always be held safely and fully supported in any sound session, whether individual or group (and of course a lot of these instruments and benefits described above apply to both types of sessions).
This is YOUR healing journey and you will be very much involved, I am here to facilitate the sound and support you alongside your own self care practices.
If any of the above resonates or you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out - I'm always happy to 'chat sound'!
In love
