Did you know that even the sound of your own voice can heal you?  We are vibrational beings and we respond to sound vibrations.  Our bodies as well as our bio-energy field are affected by all sorts of sounds and vibrations.  When I first learned about sound healing I decided to do an experiment with sound:

I already knew how powerful our minds are, so I thought that I would see what would happen if I just thought of a sound; to see what reaction I would have in my body.  So I imagined a sound in my mind, an even tone, let’s say middle C, and I began mentally humming this note.  

Then I imagined the sound getting higher and higher, going up the musical scale.  I continued “hearing” the sound getting higher and higher, as high as I could fathom.  Then when I couldn’t imagine it going any higher, I took it even higher still and just let it go higher and higher and higher, to a tone that only dogs would be able to hear!  The sound got so high in my mind, I almost couldn’t stand it, and then, something happened…..my ears popped!  That’s right, my ears actually popped just from thinking about sound getting higher and higher.  I also noticed that my energy had gone way up.  It was pretty cool – you should try it!  I’ve also found that by imagining a sound going lower and lower, just like the example above, is a great way to ground yourself. 

Now skeptics will say “it’s just in your head”, and they’re right!  It is in my head, that’s the point.  After all, energy follows thought – but I digress.  I’ll save that for another post – let’s get back to sound healing…. 

Sound has been used for healing throughout history in many different cultures and religious practices – just think of drumming, chanting, mantras, singing, bells and gongs.  And think about how beautiful music makes you feel – relaxed, calm, and serene? 

Sound healing practitioners use sound along with intention to facilitate healing.  Some use tuning forks, bells, gongs, music, their voice, crystal bowls, and golden bowls like those used by Tibetan monks.  Anything that creates a harmonic vibration can be used to heal. 

Here’s a tip – Start singing your affirmations to accelerate your healing and spiritual transformation!
