sound meditations

WHAT IS A

sound meditation?

While there is no formula or blueprint for a sound meditation, the common denominator is the gentle sounds of various instruments including but not limited to crystal singing bowls, gongs, flutes, handpan, drums, Tibetan bowls and chimes. A well structured sound meditation will transport you to a deep meditative state of relaxation where the frequencies of the instruments will help clear emotional & energetic blockages in the body. Most participants report a feeling of peace & centeredness afterwards.

HOW SOUND

affects us

Sound travels faster through water than any other medium.

According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158, the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31% (cited at https://water.usgs.gov/edu)

Is it any wonder then, that sound affects us at a cellular level?  The Center for Disease Control estimates that 85% of all disease is caused by emotional stress.  One of the best ways to de-stress is by listening to music. Sound Meditations/Baths/Immersions are fast becoming popular as the music of choice to ground, reduce stress and balance overall energy.

Testimonials

“Robin is truly talented with her gift of sound. I thought that her sound sessions were predetermined, practiced, like other instruments for a recital or performance. That is not the case, she brings a selection of instruments and plays them intuitively to the people that are in front of her. I am able to settle my thoughts and feel completely at ease during and for many hours after a sound session with Robin. I got such great relief from stress and anxious thoughts that I made it a priority to attend a sound session every month of my pregnancy. My son is very laid back and loves music! I believe the sound reaches every cellular corner and creates a ripple that has lasting effects.”
