FAQs – Sound Journey

This is my perspective on the difference and how it relates to the way I present my sound experiences.

A Sound Bath is often focused more or showcasing crystal singing bowls and/or Himalayan bowls. The focus is more “bathing” in the sound, allowing the sound to wash over you. Generally, this type of experience is more relaxation focused.

A Sound Journey is an experience that invites you to go deeper and inward. I play my crystal and Himalayan bowls in addition to many other types of instruments with the intention to guide you through a journey of emotions, auditory stories, and sensations that allow you to connect, process, and heal. The sounds help teach your nervous system how to regulate. Through the journey of meeting and releasing different stored emotions, in a safe held way, you are freed of the task of holding them and feel more peaceful and at ease. When you leave a sound journey you feel lighter and like you have nourished yourself deeply.

There are many benefits to attending a session.

There are times when emotions come up and either we’re not sure how to deal with them or we say we’ll deal with them later. This is that chance.

The sounds and sensations created in the Sound Journey are a small example (a microclimate) of your life. They show you how you respond to your life in general; great feedback for your day to day life.

I design the journeys in a way to help teach you how to process your feelings and how to regulate your nervous system. We practice the art of meeting your feelings and then how to come back into the parasympathetic state – rest and digest. Throughout the experience you will gain skills, tools, and experience on how to feel/process emotions and then regulate afterwards.

With the group experiences, many are surprised at how integral community is in healing and how nourishing it feels. Our nervous system can regulate easier and more efficiently when in a group of caring, compassionate people. An important part of healing is being seen and heard by others.

In a nutshell, benefits include, gaining tools to help deal with stress, learning how to regulate your nervous system, regulation in pain, meeting new like-minded people, healing, and leaving feeling calmer and more grounded.

I use quite a selection of beautiful instruments (both traditional and non-traditional) in my offerings. The base sound that most are familiar with is my chakra set of crystal bowls (a complete scale) and chimes. I utilize a large selection of shakers, rattles, and drums that bring a wonderful percussive quality. From there my sound starts to vary with my full, deep rich gong that brings out many tones and unique sounds. I also fold in the notes from one, or more, of my three flutes; each conveying their own unique feel and flavour. I also bring in my own voice, the oldest instrument of all, in ways that are soothing and stirring.

The sounds blend and weave together and apart with an ease and flow that will guide you with depth and confidence. The experience is fully engaging.

There are times when someone is looking to explore, heal or to connect deeper into their inner landscape and prefer to do this on their own. When I offer private sound healing experiences it allows me to really connect with the person, their energy, and any guides they may have with them that are looking to offer feedback and guidance. I have received messages from loved ones that have passed, insights into areas requiring more nurturing, and gotten clarity about what blocks are present for them.

Yes! Sound Journeys are a wonderful addition to personal development days, workshops, retreats, wellness events and really any event where people are ready to connect on a deeper level with themselves.
