Soundbath Meditation
with Tina

What are the benefits of using Sound vibrations as medicine? 

Using musical instruments and vocal toning's is an ancient meditative practice to create healing vibrations around the body. 

Sound can have a positive and a negative effect upon the body, mind & spirit - manifesting both harmony and discourse. 

We experience sound not only through our ears but through our whole body via the fluid filled ducts in the ear drum plus the "waters" within our bodies. 

Sound has the power to shift frequencies within us from a lower energy vibration (like guilt & fear) to a higher energy vibration of love & joy. 

Sound healing is the use of instruments or voice to release and balance the energy system to induce a state of ease and harmony.

CHANGE IN BRAIN WAVES WHICH OCCUR WHEN WE LISTEN TO SOUND FREQUENCIES

DELTA PATTERN: up to 4 Hz - dreamless sleep

THETA PATTERN: 4 - 7 Hz deep improved meditation, creativity & REM sleep phase

ALPHA PATTERN: 8 - 12 Hz encourages relaxation

BETA PATTERN: 13 - 24 Hz promotes concentration & a state of alertness. The awake state. Can increase anxiety if at higher end of range

GAMMA PATTERN: 25 - 100 Hz - promotes arousal while person is awake, heightened sense of consciousness

Tina draws on her experience as a yoga teacher, vocalist and sound healing guide to help the body and mind to shift from the beta state (alert) to an alpha state (relaxed) or even a theta (meditative) and delta state – which is similar to a deep sleep where restoration occurs.

Feelings of relaxation and meditation come easily with this form of Yoga which is called Nada Yoga (the Yoga of Sound) which incorporates mantra, sound, pranayama (extension of life force – breath) and mindfulness.

Mantras are transcendental sound vibrations that help to clear and balance the energy centers and systems of the body. Tina uses instruments such as crystal singing bowls, Koshi chimes, Equilibrium chimes and her voice help aid in the depth of relaxation acquired.
