sound immersion: still waters
The past 6 months have been intense and challenging. For many, feeling grounded and finding peace and stillness have been part of the challenge. We can all forget the tools we have, even though we know they can help!
My next Zoom group offering on October 20, Sound Immersion: Still Waters, will help you focus on your body, feelings, thoughts, visions, and experiences in the moment. Through a guided journey and select therapeutic sounds, I will create the space for you to find the stillness to bring forth what needs to be learned and changed. Why is your lower back "talking to you?" What do you need to hear and learn? As you find a deeper silence, what thoughts or feelings surface? What visual jumps forward as you allow yourself to listen, see, and feel within?
Intention-filled sound created by a sound therapist can transport you and provide healing and groundedness. If you have not yet had the experience, this offering will be a great way to begin a deeper relationship with sound as a healing tool.

FAQs About Sound Immersions
|
What is a Sound Immersion?
A "Sound Immersion" is my own version of what others might call a "sound bath." I use "immersion" to better indicate what happens. Those who attend are immersed in therapeutic sound, receiving the benefits of those sounds just by being present and open to the experience. No work required! What do you mean by "therapeutic sound"? All sounds have an effect on us. I use clear intention to create sounds that provide healing benefits. The combination of my intention, experience, and choice of different sounds can have benefits at the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic levels. Sound has an incredible ability to impact all of those areas. Is the sound quality of a Zoom Sound Immersion any good? Zoom has vastly improved as a platform for sound work. In addition to working with the audio settings for Zoom, I also have equipment that allows the true sound of my Zoom offerings to come through to recipients. Even in those rare moments when the sound does not come through as fully as possible, the energy of therapeutic sound can be felt. What is a "guided journey" or "guided meditation"? I often use these terms interchangeably. With accompanying sound like a frame drum or singing bowl, I provide a focusing spoken meditation. Sometimes this will ask for a specific breathing technique, or ask you to imagine yourself in a certain place doing a particular activity. It is meant to provide a feeling-based or visual focus to the work. And the spoken word is therapeutic sound, too! Is it ok if I fall asleep during a Sound Immersion? Falling asleep during a Sound Immersion indicates deep rest. In fact, you might think you have fallen asleep (known as a "delta" brainwave state) when you have actually been in a "theta" state of healing. |
Elk hide rattle
This photo shows me with a rattle I created some 25 years ago. It is an important sound tool in my group and private sessions, and will help participants shift from the chatter of "Monkey Mind" to a quieter place of listening and feeling.
Use quality headphones or speakers to listen to this brief recording of my Elk hide rattle. Take a few deep breaths prior to listening, noticing how you feel, then allow the various simultaneous sounds of the rattle to shift you from a place of thinking to a place of feeling. Allow the focus of your listening to broaden, and notice how you feel when done, as you take a few breaths again.
