Sound Journey – Frequency Is The Medicine
Music has always been deeply intertwined with the way I experience the world.
I grew up with music as a safe space. It was a place I could go when life felt tough, and a way of expressing what I was feeling when I didn’t necessarily have the words.
I always had an inner knowing that music was much more profound than just hits on the charts. I could feel how deeply it affected me, how a piece of music could shift my mood, move something within me, or completely change the way I experienced a moment.
Therefore, it makes complete sense that sound has become such an integral part of the sacred spaces I create.
Music feels like a language I have always understood intimately.
Sound as medicine has been used across cultures quite possibly since the beginning of time, through rhythm, drumming, voice, mantra, chant and more.
At its core, sound is vibration…it is frequency. We don’t only hear it. We experience it vibrationally through the body and nervous system.
As we surrender into deep listening, the vibrations can help quieten the thinking mind and bring our awareness back into the body and the here and now. Rhythm, repetition, resonance and frequency can create a space for deep rest, emotional shifts, inner exploration and altered states of awareness.
I feel blessed to have trained with the wonderful Janet from Janet’s Planet, whose four-month Sound Healing Facilitation training deepened my understanding of sound, frequency, voice and healing instruments.
I offer private Frequency Sound Journeys in Cape Town for individuals, couples and small groups.
What makes us feel drawn to music is that our whole being is music: our mind and body, the nature in which we live, the nature which has made us, all that is beneath and around us, it is all music. ~ Hazrat Inayat Khan, Sufi Master (1882–1927)
Frequency Sound Journey
Sound · Intention · Frequency
A Sound Journey is an invitation to lie down, close your eyes and enter a space of deep relaxation and healing.
Using a variety of instruments, including Tibetan bowls, medicine drum, rainmakers, traditional percussion, flow chimes, koshi chimes, bells and voice. Each journey is created with intention in response to the person or people in the room. No two sessions are exactly the same.
As the busy mind begins to soften, we may enter that beautiful liminal space somewhere between wakefulness and dreaming.
It is often here that we experience the quieter parts of ourselves. You may experience deep relaxation, visuals, emotion, insight or simply the feeling of being completely present in your body, or completely out of your body. We all experience differently, depending on intention and what is needed in that moment.
There is no destination and no expectation of what your experience should be.
Come as you are.
Be open.
Receive.
If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes. ~ Dr Mitchell Gaynor
