‘The drone, or long uninterrupted tone…
is the basis of healing music’Kay Gardner
‘a really deep and total relaxation will form the foundation of any true and lasting healing’Deuter
The Pure Sounds of crystal and Tibetan bowls, and sacred vocal overtoning, promotes the ‘Relaxation Response’ in the client, bringing a deep state of relaxation, promoting the deeper brainwave states associated with inspiration, meditation, channelling, healing, and left-and right- brain synchrony (the ‘Divine Union’ of spiritual alchemy), and balancing cleansing and energising the cakras and aura of the subtle body.
All the participant has to do in our soundbaths is—nothing! Relax, ideally lying down, and let the sounds wash over, around and through you. The powerful Pure Sounds of these modalities were the only vehicle, I found, that allowed me a glimpse of inner peace and the stopping of the ‘mind chatter’ that all other attempts at meditation had failed to produce!
I apply the crystal bowls in a musical way using the 12 tones of our Western scale arranged in the ‘cycle of Fourths and Fifths’, which means therefore working with the male-female, yin-yang aspects of musical intervals, a much more powerful technique than simply randomly playing them and hoping for the best.
There is also extended use of Tibetan bowls with their various fascinating aspects, including bowls with audible overtones, water bowls, talking bowls, tweeting ‘birdie’ bowls—and the power of sound and of the experience is also demonstrated with use of the ‘fountain bowl’.
The soundbath also features Sacred Vocal Overtoning and Toning, specifically a Calling Down The Light in Hebrew, and an invocation of the names of the cakras and their associated deities in Sanskrit. People often feel moved to join in during these parts of the soundbath, and if the spirit moves you, please do!
Why ‘Divine Union’? As the sounds take you into the deeper brainwave states of alpha, theta and delta, the rational left-brain (masculine/yang), and the intuitive and creative right-brain (feminine/yin) automatically become balanced and aligned, creating the ‘Divine Union’ of spiritual alchemy, the goal of all spiritual practices, forms of meditation, yoga—call it what you will.
Additionally this process as mentioned is enhanced by knowledge of and work with the masculine-feminine aspects of musical intervals, a knowledge that has been disregarded by materialist/modern interpretations of sound and harmony which were taken as granted by the ancients, and are awaiting rediscovery to any that are interested, i.e. in our Angels of Sound playshops, 121s, or our Pure Sound Practitioner Course.
That the sound has an energising and balancing effect on the cakras can be easily demonstrated by before and after dowsing readings of them, the cakras being little vortices of energy that should be bringing etheric/pranic/5th dimensional energy into our aura/energy-field/body-mind, but that often in the general stress of life develop periodic blocks or even leakages to their basic health and energy- promoting activity.
Pure Sound, as well as being an incredibly powerful cleanser of the subtle body, also works on the physical body as an immensely strong detoxifier. So please be sure to drink a more-than-normal amount of water after one of our sessions to flush the toxins that have been dislodged out of your system. Otherwise a feeling similar to a hangover may be encountered.
