Sound
Journey
A
profound and powerful experience of healing sound and vibration.
Participants lie comfortably on mats on the floor, while one
or more Soundhealers (sound therapists/musicians) play a variety
of acoustic instruments.
A sonic environment is created through the specific use of the
instruments and the order of their use. Every “Sound Journey” is different, as it is essentially an intuitive, shamanic process,
requiring a deep sensitivity for what is needed in the moment.
Participants or journeyers are asked to remove their shoes and
lie as comfortably as possible, face up, and where space permits,
in a circle with heads towards the center.
The instruments, including Tibetan singing bowls, flute, Native
American frame drum, didgeridoo, ocean drum, rainsticks, tuning
forks, kalimba, monochord and others, are placed in the center
of the circle.
There are many other instruments available, and the experience
is more effective if only acoustic instruments are used.
The instruments are then played around and over those lying
on the floor. Each person gets to feel at the physical level
the vibrations of many of the instruments.
The sound is kept at a very subtle level, at no time becoming
loud or intrusive. The sound is constant, and assists the participants
to forget the density of the physical body. The spirit or soul
is then free to travel. Sound, especially unstructured sound,
bypasses the intellectual, analytical hemisphere of the brain,
allowing the creative, intuitive hemisphere to have free reign.
There is no guarantee that everyone will enjoy all the sounds,
but any sound one objects to will almost certainly be removing
or identifying a block on the physical, etheric, emotional or
spiritual level.
If one goes to sleep, which can happen, the sound will be just
as effective, working directly on the physical and etheric bodies,
and the unconscious mind.
A specific objective can be established before the Sound Journey
begins, for example asking to receive guidance in resolving
an issue in one’s life, or the solution to a specific
problem. Some people receive visions and symbols, or even totem
animals.
The whole process will take approximately 1½ hours, of
which 50-60 mins. will be pure sound.
The most important thing is to enjoy oneself! Bathe and luxuriate
in the shower of sound.
