SOUND HEALING

What is Sound Healing?

Sound helps regulate many biological processes at all levels of the body, stimulating global responses. At a cellular level it can help promote a re-organization or re-patterning of chemical responses. Sound waves pass easily and rapidly through the body's own pathways, the connective tissue and the energy (acupuncture) meridians, accessing all systems in the body simultaneously.

Sound harnesses the body's natural resonant capacity, and is an ideal tool for creating movement, releasing blockages and restoring balance within the system.

Healing with Tuning Forks

Tuning Forks are one of the few sources of pure sound, pure tones, that emit precisely measured frequencies. Tuning forks are used in the realms of medicine, music and science for a variety of applications. Their precision makes them ideal for use in sound therapy, using the capacity of the human body to resonate with pure sound.

The creators of INNER SOUND, Arden & Jack Wilken, have developed a special series of tuning forks spaced in pure 5th intervals for use at the ears.

A pure 5th is the naturally tuned form of the musical interval known as the perfect 5th in which the frequency of the higher tone is exactly 1.5 times the frequency of the lower tone.

The pure 5th is an important element in our environment appearing frequently in the natural harmonic spectrum of the voice. It is also the most important interval in sound healing and appears almost always in healing music compositions, ancient as well as modern.

The use of tuning forks in this interval, one at each ear, produces an organized wave of expansion and contraction throughout the body. This occurs at all levels helping the body to relax deeply. This relaxed state encourages the body to regenerate and the energy system to balance and align.

The frequencies within the Spiral of Fifths series work at all levels of the body from the feet to the head and in the entire energy system, including the chakras, energy channels and electromagnetic field or aura.

What is a Sound Healing session (with tuning forks) like?

A tuning fork session consists of you listening to a series of pairs of tuning forks, applied each side of the head next to the ears. Each pair is switched so that both tones are applied to either side of the body, maximizing the effect of the response within the body.

By using the Spiral of Fifths series in an ordered sequence of ascending and then descending pairs, an organized wave of movement passes through the whole organism, transported via the cerebrospinal fluid and the connective tissue, reaching all levels of the body from the surface of the skin to the cellular level. The body absorbs whatever frequencies it needs from the treatment, releasing tension in the process as the sound waves act directly on any blockages as they are encountered.

Different symptoms or conditions can be treated by applying specific sequences of pairs within the range, releasing tension of a physical, mental, emotional or energetic nature.

Clients experience a range of responses including changes in body temperature, physical sensations such as tingling or pressure, a deepening of breathing rhythm, periods of deep sleep or dream-like states , enhanced imagery & colours, or emotional responses.

Initially, clients may experience an increased awareness of areas of tension in their body but this usually passes quite rapidly with subsequent sessions. Depending upon the number of treatments, your body typically becomes accustomed to the effect of the forks as they produce a state of deep relaxation within the session.

Treatments can range in time from 15 60 minutes depending upon the frequency of your visits and the symptoms involved.

What are the benefits of Sound Healing?

Tuning Fork Therapy sessions offer a wide range of benefits. Clients typically experience a reduction in any form of stress-related condition, whether mental, physical, emotional or energetic.

Specific benefits can include but are not limited to:

deep and restful sleep; a more positive mood; improved physical vitality; alleviation of skin-related conditions such as eczema; reduction of headaches or migraines, relief of muscle tension; pain relief and/or pain management, and many more.

Tuning forks are an ideal tool for relaxation and can be used as an aid to meditation and managing any type of short or long-term stress.

Tuning forks can be used as a stand-alone sound therapy or can be combined with other forms of complementary therapy including massage or any type of body work, reflexology, energy balancing, crystal healing and colour therapy, as well as many others.
