Sound Healing & Journeys

FOOTPRINT & SIZE OF SETUP

The size and shape of my setup depends on the location and amount of attendees.

When I set up with people all around me, the general footprint of my setup is 8‘ x 8‘. When I set up in front of a group of people, either on the same level, or on a stage, the general footprint of my setup is 10’W x 6’D.

These are all estimations, meant to give you a rough idea about the size of the space that I will likely need for my instruments. When necessary, I can bring less instruments to accommodate the space, while still bringing what’s needed to allow for a full experience.

 

THE SCIENCE

Vibrational sound healing bypasses the body’s cell walls and gets into the cytoplasm, helping to reset the cells to a more neutral state. This aids in relieving emotions, stress, allergies, physical tension, and bringing our nervous system into a calm state (rather than fight/flight mode, the state the body is in when feeling stress).

I use perfect pitch crystal singing bowls and Chinese gongs, some of which are the largest sizes available, this adds an incredible amount of penetrating vibrational resonance during my treatments.

THE BOWLS I USE

Clients who have had other singing bowl treatments often give me feedback that my bowls feel more therapeutic and calming than the smaller bowls many practitioners use. This is often the case, because of the extra cost involved in larger crystal bowls. Also, some sound healers choose to use metal Tibetan singing bowls, which have a beautiful sound but they are rarely large enough to have as much of a vibrational impact as large crystal bowls do, especially in a group sound bath setting.

I love my collection of bowls, and I have no doubt that after experiencing them you’ll love them too.

THE GONGS I USE

I use classic gongs built in the Wuhan region of China. I bring a 32″ Wind Gong, a 32″ Chau Gong, and a 36″ Sun Gong; they all have very different characteristics. These big beautiful gongs fill the area with immersive sounds and captivating tones, showcasing their unique ability to transport the listener to another realm. I know you are going to love them!

HOW MEDITATIONAL SOUND CAN FEEL

Plug your phone or computer into a stereo that has a large subwoofer and quality speakers. Lay with the speakers on both sides of your head (about 2 feet away) and position the subwoofer below your feet facing your body.

Play a track below and close your eyes. As you listen to the music focus on what you feel in your body while continually taking deep breaths.
