WHAT TO EXPECT from a private sound therapy session
A private sound therapy session can provide a number of benefits, including the reduction of stress, a strengthening of the immune system, lowered blood pressure, and pain relief. This work can engage the parasympathetic nervous system, and help you achieve deep relaxation, the place where self-healing begins. Many of the instruments and sounds I use provide opportunities for clients to entrain to an Alpha or Theta state, where that deep healing begins. Through guided imagery, intuitive perception and use of sound, a session can facilitate awareness and clearing at the physical, mental, and emotional levels.
A private sound therapy session provides you with a personally tailored sound healing experience. Typically, the process begins with a free phone consultation prior to scheduling a session. That conversation helps me assess your needs and begin to formulate the session. A phone consultation can also be used just to get more information to help you decide if a session would be right for you!
Before the session, I will ask you to complete a client intake form, either by downloading the form from my website and completing it at home, or arriving a few minutes before your session to complete the form then. That form provides me with basic information about you and what you hope to gain from the work, and gives me more detailed information as I put a sound practice in place for you, We discuss those ideas together prior to the start of the session, then I will have you sit in a zero gravity lounge chair, reclining for maximum support and relaxation to start the session.
Although each session is unique, typically the hour will start with grounding and clearing, using tools like a tingsha and rattle. I also include sounds intended to help you start to shift into a more relaxed state. For the majority of the time, I will use sound tools to address the specific goals of the session. This could involve the steady hum of a singing bowl, with a guided meditation, adding vocal toning to amplify the resonance of the sounds, or a frame drum with a guided journey used to induce a deep relaxation state. If there is a specific physical issue that needs addressing, I might use a set of tuning forks near your ears or placed on the area needing attention, or I might choose to use a special multi-chamber ocarina set gently on your head to provide you with a more physical sensation of the healing vibrations. The session will often end with gentle sounds like chimes and/or a frame drum heartbeat to create closure. Many clients also find that a period of silence at the end is important for integration. Once the session has finished, I might provide some "homework" or give some simple sound techniques for you to try at home, to continue the sound healing process. At the end of a session, most clients feel relaxed but energized. Many have a profound experience.
