Integral Sound Healing is a modality that utilizes specific sounds and frequencies to bring about positive change in a person’s body both mentally and physically. It works based on the principle that every cell in our body has its own unique rate of vibration, also known as frequency, which is measured in Hertz (Hz). This means that the cells of our bones vibrate at a different rate than the cells of our muscles, and those vibrate at a different rate than our blood cells and so on. When our cells are vibrating at their optimal rate, they are considered strong and healthy. When the vibration of our cells is lower than what it should be, our cells become weak and dis-ease takes over.
Depending on the specific cells in question, this can look like anything from brain fog, insomnia, the flu, tense muscles, constipation, depression, and even cancer. The frequencies of our cells are greatly impacted by both internal and external influences such as what we eat, the chemicals we are exposed to in cleaners or healthcare products, and stress levels.
In fact, stress plays a HUGE role in decreasing the rate at which our cells vibrate at. Both medical doctors and psychologists have agreed that most of today’s serious physical and mental health issues are caused by chronic stress and suppressed emotions! The good news is that Integral Sound Healing produces sonic waves that penetrate down to the cellular level to dissolve trauma and reset the cells to their natural vibrating rate. This means that your cells can literally be tuned back into balance to combat the effects of stress, trauma, and abuse.
Integral Sound Healing is also used to alter states of consciousness and brainwave frequencies by triggering a relaxation response. When we are wide awake, our brains are operating in the Beta frequency which is normal; but if we stay in the Beta range for too long it can create chronic stress and anxiety. Fortunately, there are certain techniques such as Brainwave Entrainment and Frequency Following Response that are used during a sound healing session to guide the brainwaves out of the Beta range and sink into deeper states of consciousness. This facilitated change allows for cellular healing and mental relaxation to occur within the body.
What will an Integral Sound Healing session look like? Each session is a little different and unique to the client’s needs, just like a massage! Generally, the client will come in and go through an intake with the therapist discussing their ailments and what they would like to work on. Then the client will get on the massage table as the therapist makes sure they are comfortable with pillows and blankets. Following this, a brief breathing exercise will take place to encourage the client to take deep, full breaths which starts the process of calming down the nervous system. After that, the sound healing will begin as the client’s body is bathed in sonic waves of sound. At some point, the client’s mental chatter will stop, their mind relaxes, and their body will feel heavy on the table as their brainwaves sink deeper into the healing frequencies of Alpha and Theta states.
