For me sound healing is anything that deals with singing bowls. You can also use your voice and a variety of other instruments, but I typically use singing bowls, and you get some that are made out of different metals or some that are made out of quartz crystal. (Jade Perry)
Sound healing works through the fact that sound creates its own vibration, and that vibration infuses into your energy, bringing about change, and this change can look like:
Overall, sound healing creates an encompassing and soothing presence, allowing you to align with that type of clear and peaceful energy.
Going for a sound bath, being surrounded by singing bowls that are played either on or around your body, can have similar effects on your body and mind as going for an in-depth massage.
If you place and play singing bowls directly onto the body, the vibrations that are created travel directed into the physical body instead of going around the room, leading to a more immediate calming effect.
I use [sound healing] with shamanic healing in my practice … I don't always start with the singing bowls and the shamanic healing because it can be a lot … but for certain things that we're working on, it really helps to bring the integrative and the new energy in so that [the patient] can integrate it more easily. (Jade Perry)
Using singing bowls at the end of a session can help a client to take the new energy in and allows them to end their therapy session with you in a higher vibration, both mentally and physically.
In this way, using singing bowls makes the therapeutic process smoother and more centered.
At the end of a healing session, that's kind of the space that you're in, and so having the sound bowls come in [at the end] allows you to really anchor it, accept it, and remember how to get back there. (Jade Perry)
You can use sound healing and singing bowls as a ritual to either begin or end the session. Having a ritual such as this signifies the start and the end of the sacred healing space that the therapist and the client enter when the session commences and closes.
Sound impacts you in different ways. Notice how sounds make you feel, such as listening to the news versus listening to your favorite song. You can use this new knowledge to find a deeper equilibrium in life when you are feeling overwhelmed.
Try chanting, singing bowls, singing with your voice, listening to nature, and so forth. You can learn about sound, how it impacts you and how it makes you feel to learn more about yourself.
