Sound Healing: A Client's Journey
As a sound therapist, I'm always grateful when clients share their experiences. These personal stories not only showcase the power of sound healing but also help others understand what to expect. Today, I'm excited to share Sharon's journey with sound therapy. Her story beautifully illustrates how this practice can unlock energy, promote healing, and inspire personal growth.
Discovering Sound Healing
I first met Ruth at a drumming circle she holds, and immediately liked her energy, she's warm and affable and just makes everyone really welcome.
She's naturally curious, and happy to share her knowledge, and during one conversation we spoke about how she uses Tibetan singing bowls to get direct feedback on the energy of each chakra in her sound healing work.
From Reiki to Sound Therapy
This sparked my interest, because I'd completed a reiki level two course a year ago, and was using reiki assisted body scanning to help identify potential blockages that I felt might be holding me back on some creative projects I'd been procrastinating over for months. But my approach felt so reliant on my own intuition, and I didn't feel confident enough to trust it given I'm a relative newbie to reiki.
Personalised Sound Healing Sessions
So, I booked in for three sessions over a period of six weeks, and during the first session, Ruth could hear immediately where the energy was most depleted, and then used the remaining sessions to incorporate other instruments to assist in the healing work. This isn't a quick fix, as in all holistic healing practices, the client needs to do the work in to make changes in their life, but when energies are blocked / depleted, it can feel like a mountain to climb, and having that extra support really lifted me over those first hurdles.
A Tailored Approach
Ruth is confident working with a range of clients, with differing levels of knowledge and experience in giving or receiving healing work, so she adapts her approach to suit the individual.
I really valued this, because she understood where I have experience, and where my knowledge gaps are and so I came away feeling empowered.
Individual vs. Sound Baths: The Benefits of Personalised Sound Healing
The sessions themselves are beautiful, the room is cosy, Ruth takes time to get you settled, and allows time to talk if stuff comes up, so the aftercare should you need it is there.
Prior to working with Ruth, I'd attended group sound healing and found them enjoyable as a shared experience, it's nice to connect with others.
But, whilst an individual session naturally incurs an additional cost, the advantage for me was that Ruth uses a wide range of instruments and sounds that were tailored specifically, and if you're a bit of an empath sponge like me, you don't absorb the energies of others, so I felt more confident that the responses I was feeling were my own.
Tangible Results
The responses were quite marked for me, in that I felt my body gently realigning (spine, hips, shoulders, and jaw), as the right and left sides of my brain were rebalancing, and individual chakras were responding. And I could hear the changes in the bowls too.
Recommendation
If you're new to energy healing practices and like a bit more direct feedback, then you should find sound healing with Ruth works particularly well for you. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Ruth if this is something you're curious to try, you'll be in safe hands.
