Sound Healing

 

Hello there friends!

Today we are discussing sound healing and how it works scientifically. Sound healing allows us to shift our brainwaves to shift frequencies. Sound frequencies impact how we feel. Energetically we all have vibrations within us and we all vibrate at different levels. Sound has the ability to raise our vibrations. Sound has the ability to assist us to relax and enter a meditative state. Sound Healing is an ancient healing technique originating from Tibetan and Himalayan cultures. So the tonal frequencies allow us to bring our entire body into vibrational balance. 

Usually when this is being conducted its known as a sound bath. Now the way it works is once you go in for a sound healing session. You will lay on a yoga Matt and a sound healing practitioner will come in and play the sounds in a meditative acoustic fashion. Then you will feel yourself "bathing" in the frequencies as they are being played. This allows your body to go into alignment and reach balance or a relaxed state. Tibetan bowls, singing bowls, shamanic drums are all used for sound baths. Even though this healing method is now becoming popular, it can be traced back to the ancient Australians and Ancient Egyptians .

Sound healing benefits include maximum relaxation, clearing energetic blockages, it also supports emotional, mental and spiritual well being. I would definitely say to give this one a go and not knock it before you try it. As always friends have fun, live your life, share happiness and peace with all!

The Beauty of Embodiment

                       

Hi there my fellow wonderful human beings,

Back again with another subject. This time diving in deeper with Embodiment and its healing abilities for our nervous system. Embodiment is a form of Somatic Therapy. Somatic therapy is a holistic approach towards healing. To dive deeper into Somatic healing or therapy, you can refer to the previous post that was all about it. Embodiment explores the connection between our body, mind and energy (emotions). Embodiment is used as a tool for mental health and recovering from trauma or even working through difficult emotions.

I will insert a diagram below that will illustrate how embodiment works.

Embodiment is remarkable therapy that allows us to connect to our bodies and truly feel the sensation we are feeling and provides a mechanism on how to cope with difficult emotions. It ranges from exercise to dance to yoga to tai chi to even seated meditation. It anything that allows us to mindfully connect to our bodies and the emotions and sensations we are experiencing. A prime example is when I experience anxiety, I enjoy going running. Anxiety is an emotional/energetic reaction to an experience that makes me feel threatened. To get the emotions or energy out of my body, I go running until I feel better. In this way embodiment therapy is commonly used for mental health or traumatic experiences. It is the more holistic approach which allows us to understand ourselves on a deeper level.

Contemporary dance is a great form of embodiment. Dance is a excellent way to work through your emotions and also allows you to remove the emotions/ energy out of your body. Music has been shown to have powerful effect on healing. The brain just lights right up. Music also aids in embodiment practices.

I hope this helps you in some way. Please feel free to share this post with however you feel it will help.

Somatic Healing

                    

Hello Friends,

Im here with another post. Today discussing about Somatic healing or Somatic Therapy. Somatic Therapy is an alternative form of healing for post traumatic stress. It is also know to aid in mental health as well. This therapy focuses on connecting the mind and body in psychotherapy. Somatic therapy is very different from traditional therapy because it doesn't just focus on the mind but it also incorporates the body as well. Traditional Somatic therapies include dance, breath work, and meditation for healing.

Personally I believe this is the best form of healing because the healing comes from within the individual. I personally practice these methods on a daily to weekly to ensure Im well balanced. Mental health has deteriorated ever since 2020 after the pandemic. My theory is because we are communal being and Isolating us....was probably not the best approach. At the moment we are currently dealing with a mental health epidemic. It is very difficult to find someone who isn't experiencing anxiety or depression. Traditional therapy is not always effective and the reason for that is because when we experience trauma, our bodies also experience  it. Those emotions or energy remains within out body. It is essential to get these energies or emotions out of our bodies for healing to occur. Somatic healing is all about embodiment and regulating our nervous system. This is where The mind body connection is so important part of the therapy.

I will insert a diagram below to explain further...

Somatic language is learning how to speak the language of our bodies to regulate it. I will use an example. In a stressful  moment when you are experiencing an anxious state. Your mind knows that it is worrying about a situation but there is no immediate threat. Your body however will react to the threat as it feels the emotions of threat. To your body it will react as though there is a lion in the room. This is why within your body when you are anxious you experience rapid breathing, palpitations, and a deep sense of panic and even crying or yelling. To calm your body down, you have to calm your nervous system down. In other words learn how to regulate your nervous system in a time of panic. This can be done through diaphragmatic breathing technique, shaking technique, dance, running. You need to move to remove these emotions from your body.

The nervous system breaks down into two groups. Sympathetic and parasympathetic. I will insert a picture to help illustrate this.

Sympathetic is what occurs to our bodies when our nervous system is in stressful situation. Parasympathetic is where we want to get our nervous system to. Parasympathetic nervous system means that is is regulated. In somatic healing our goal is to get the body out of the sympathetic system into the parasympathetic system. Regulating your nervous system can be done through various means of embodiment. This allows us to reach coherence with out bodies and allow them to align and connect with our mind which then allows our body to regulate and get out of the sympathetic state.
