What is sound healing?
Sound is a form of energy that creates change. Most of us are familiar with how music can transport our hearts and imaginations to places deep within or far away. Or, we may know of ultrasonic medical therapies that are effective at treating areas deep within the body without the need for surgery.
Sound energy has the ability to go deeply into our bodies, as well as into our minds. It is an energy we can both feel and hear. And when it touches us, it changes us physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Grains of sand on a cymatic plate have been geometrically and symmetrically structured by vibrations of sound.
Vibrations of sound organize and structure — they create form. This is because sonic vibrations are pulse, or pressure, waves (which is why we can feel them). The pulse waves pull similar energetic frequencies into more structured form. This is true for denser energetic frequencies like a physical body, or more subtle forms of energetic frequencies like a thought or feeling.
In sound healing, both the art and science of sonic vibration are embraced. Sound frequencies are skillfully and artfully used to guide the energy of the body, emotions, mind, soul and spirit into harmony and alignment with each other. When our energies are aligned, body through spirit, we create a foundation for well-being and healthy transformation.
