THERE ARE BENEFITS FOR THE PRACTITIONER TOO DURING A SOUND BATH.

Healing, Vocals, the Ears & the Vagus Nerve: What Every Sound Healer Should Know

Sound is not just heard, it's felt, received, and transmitted through the vagus nerve, one of the most important pathways in the body for healing and deep relaxation.

As a sound healer, you’re working with a two-way portal:

1) Listening to sounds stimulates nerve endings in the ear (tragus, co**ha, and canal), sending calming signals through the vagus nerve to the brain, heart, lungs, and gut. This activation supports deep relaxation, lowers stress, improves digestion, and boosts immune function in your session participants, and in yourself.

→ Sound enters the ear → stimulates the vagus nerve → calms the body

2) Singing, sounding, humming, or toning, vibrates the vagus nerve of the sound practitioner from the inside out, activating the vocal cords, throat, chest, and diaphragm. This supports emotional regulation and deep presence allowing you to be more grounded, calm and connected to energy and intuition.

→ Sound is produced by the voice → vibrates the vagus nerve pathways → calms the body

This is why listening and sounding are equally sacred in sound healing. And the powerful connection to the vagus nerve is foundational for any sound healer to know about.

I tend to sing native american songs whilst playing the shamanic drum during my sound bath sessions.Why? Number 1 is because I am drawn to it and I feel a connection. Listening to these songs can uplift, energize, calm, soothe or help you to remember who you are. Indigenous american songs can take you on a spiritual journey or ground you and bring you back into your body. When you connect to the healing energy of Spirit and the sound medicine that is created from it, you may experience…

Inspiration
Goosebumps
Visions
“Chills” or Energy running through you
Tears Coming to Your Eyes
Emotional Release, immediately or later in the day
Other physical or emotional sensations

Hertz healing pipes, also called "healing tuned pipes," work by producing specific sound frequencies (measured in Hertz) that are believed to resonate with the body on a cellular level, potentially promoting relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being by influencing the nervous system through sound vibrations; different frequencies are thought to target different areas of the body and address specific issues, like pain relief or emotional healing depending on the intended use.

New sound bath instrument arrived today. Hertz healing pipes. Similar to tuning forks but better sound. Excited to incorporate these in my next sound bath session.

What is the role of Qi in healing the body?

Qigong is the practice of cultivating “Qi,” or the life force that exists within us and all around us. When our Qi is blocked (sometimes called “Qi stagnation”), it can cause a disruption or imbalance in our lives, emotionally and physically. Qi stagnation can result in a lot of different effects, including increased pressure, swelling, or pain in specific parts of the body. It can also cause emotional stagnation or a feeling of being overwhelmed. If Qi is blocked or disrupted, pain will eventually be inevitable. Qigong exercise and Medical Qigong are about finding equilibrium so Qi flows in our bodies harmoniously.

An important aspect of Qigong that isn’t discussed in Western medicine is that our external pain is often directly tied to emotional and energetic blockages. These blockages can then cause physical issues internally as well as externally. If we experience lower back pain, the cause might not simply be that we are hunching too much—instead, the cause could be stress, fatigue, or dysfunction of our internal organs. For example, lower back pain is frequently caused by distress of the kidneys. But it can also be true of internal organs that seem distant from our external pain: for instance, shoulder pain is sometimes caused by tension in the gallbladder. You might think, how can that be? Isn’t your gallbladder on the mid part of my body, while my shoulder is near my neck?

Traditional Chinese Medicine, such as acupuncture or Qigong, works by healing through the meridians, or energy channels, that exist throughout the body. This can be a helpful way to understand how our body functions as a whole—body parts are not disparate, but are interconnected through pathways that carry energy. Additionally, our bodies have epicenters where energy is stored (like a reservoir), supplying the meridians with that energy to be transported to different parts of our bodies. For example, the epicenter around the navel is called the “lower Dantian,” and it feeds energy to our entire nervous system. Lower back pain is frequently linked to this epicenter. If your Qi is blocked and unable to flow freely through your stomach or intestines, this will eventually result in blockages all the way up your back and to your shoulders. Qigong works to release pain by unblocking Qi stagnation and recirculating energy to the body through those energy channels thereby making it easier for the body to then heal itself.

𝓢𝓽. 𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓰𝓲𝓭’𝓼 𝓓𝓪𝔂...🧡
We have officially reached the halfway point between Yule (Winter Solstice) and Ostara (Spring Equinox). So let’s celebrate the lengthening of days and the first real sign we are heading towards spring 🌷Yayyy!

Imbolc celebrates the Celtic Goddess, Brigid; she is associated with healing, poetry and prophecy. Brigid reminds us how we are all eternal flames, and that each day our light only grows brighter 🔥

Lighting candles is encouraged on this day, as well as putting some thought into what intentions we want to set in motion and see brought into existence by spring ✨

May the life that is stirring in the ground beneath us move the dreams to life within you 🙏🏻

Happy Imbolc everybody! 💛

CRYSTAL SINGING BOWLS are believed to work as a healing and transformational instrument by producing vibrational frequencies that resonate with the body on a cellular level, potentially promoting relaxation, stress reduction, emotional balance, and a sense of well-being, influencing brainwave activity, and aligning the body's energy centers (chakras) by creating a deep, resonant sound when played; essentially, the vibrations are thought to interact with the body's energy field, facilitating healing on multiple levels.

VIBRATIONAL RESONANCE:
When struck the bowl produces a sustained tone that vibrates through the body, potentially influencing cells and tissues at a cellular level.

BRAINWAVE ENTRAINMENT:
The consistent sound waves from the singing bowl can synchronize brainwave activity, potentially leading to deep relaxation and altered states of consciousness.

CHAKRA BALANCING:
Different notes and frequencies associated with the bowls are believed to correspond to specific chakras in the body, allowing practitioners to target particular energy centers for balancing.

PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL RELEASE:
The vibrations are said to help release tension, emotional blockages, and negative energy, promoting a sense of calm and well-being.

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE:
While anecdotal evidence and personal experiences support the therapeutic benefits of crystal singing bowls, more scientific research is needed to fully understand their effects.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSE:
The experience of a crystal singing bowl sound bath can vary depending on the individual and their current state of mind and body.
