Our culture and our modern environment have become very noisy and very loud. This modern landscape is rife with an inordinate and constant amount of information competing for our attention, which our brains are not designed to process. We've grown desensitized to our own inner landscape in which stillness and subtly reside. A place where freedom, wholeness and love abound.
Sacred sound vibration therapy is a powerful non-invasive healing modality beneficial to restoring our well-being, heart, mind and body. To bring order where there is none.
When we enter into the field of sacred sound in a state of total relaxation with intention, healing and connection to a higher consciousness can take place. We can then approach the day ahead with a more open heart and calm mind, while simultaneously being a bright light to the people in our life.
Most people feel refreshed and at ease while actually looking rested and radiant following a sound journey, which is also known as a sound healing or a sound bath. The experience is unique to each individual and may include physical sensations, visual images, a range of emotions, creative insights or even deep sleep.
There can be moments of intensity, which will pass if one remains relaxed, and likewise moments of heightened clarity. One’s sense of time and space is usually altered during the sound journey, often making it difficult to determine just how much time has passed.
The experience of regular Healing Heart Sacred Sounds© receivers is that they have increased ability to manage stressful situations, can move through challenging situations in a more fluid and effortless manner, experience deeper and improved sleep and have an improved overall sense of health and wellbeing.
A marked increase in alpha and theta brainwave activity has been observed when one is exposed to the vibrations and sound frequencies of crystal singing bowls and gongs. Simultaneously, breathing becomes softer, the pulse and heart rate decrease and the participant feels more connected with her or his inner world.
There is an effortless beauty in receiving a sound journey, as the participant is not required to DO anything other than lay in a comfortable position, relax, listen, feel and receive the tones and vibration.
A Healing Heart Sacred Sounds© sound journey begins with each person lying down or seated in a comfortable position, often with a blanket and an eye mask. After a few minutes of guided breath work and guided meditation, the remainder of the experience is filled with different sounds, tones, vibrations, and frequencies being introduced in succession.
A Sacred Cacao Ceremony is a communal celebration and ceremony centered around the consumption of the sacred plant medicine cacao (kə-ˈkau̇).
Drinking ceremonial cacao is an ancient tradition celebrated by indigenous cultures in South and Central America for over 5,000 years.
The ceremony is led by a facilitator (myself) who has an in-depth and intimate knowledge of the plant spirit and experience working with cacao. As a facilitator, I have the responsibility of creating and holding a sacred space in which to consume the ceremonial cacao beverage.
Participants (receivers) gather in a circle to drink and celebrate in a communal setting. Song, music, drumming and guided meditation are incorporated into the ceremony to guide participants to gain access to their inner wisdom and to connect with the plant medicine. A dedication and an expression of gratitude are offered to the spirit of the plant. After some time, and as the effects of the plant medicine are felt, more time to reflect in silence is provided. Before closing the ceremony (circle) receivers are offered an opportunity to ask questions or share about their experience.
Participants typically express feelings of bliss, new awareness, an expansion of the heart center, well-being, and a greater sense of self-love and love for others.
