Mountain Bear Sounds

I offer 1:1 sound healing and group sessions using a variety of sound healing instruments including Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, the digeridoo, the shruti box, rattles, rain sticks and drums. But perhaps for me, the most powerful instrument I use is my voice.

What happens in a sound bath

A sound bath is a deeply therapeutic, gentle and powerful experience, where your mind and body are both fully immersed in the healing sounds and aligned with spirit.

A sound bath is best enjoyed lying down, but you can sit if that’s easier. It’s nice to have something cosy to lie/sit on and a warm blanket to cover yourself with, or to wrap around you. You may like to use an eye mask or a scarf to cover your eyes, but this isn’t necessary.

I start by bringing your attention to the breath, with a short, gentle guided meditation. Then as the sound bath starts, all you need to do is relax and let the different sounds and frequencies flow over, and wash through you.

I create the sounds using a variety of instruments including Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, chimes, gongs, the shruti box, shamanic drums and especially my voice. 

As you surrender to the sound bath your brain waves will automatically slow down, shifting you from a state of activity to a state of deep relaxation.

The sounds take you on a journey of self-healing and discovery, inviting you to dive into a deeper state of consciousness, helping you to go inwards and gain clarity on what’s going on for you, both internally and externally.

How sound healing works

Sound healing works in numerous and subtle ways. Whilst veryone hears the same sounds emanting from the instruments and my voice, I love how it touches and affects everyone differently. Some quite lightly but the majority very deeply, some extraordinarily so.

Sound creates a safe container for the space to open up and out, allowing healing to take place, and in the stillness pushes each person back into their true self, their uncontaminated true essence, where aspects of acceptance, love and bliss, and a range of other positive qualities and properties harness the power of the session further, deepening and enriching their experience of their own innate natural presence and nature.

Everything in the universe is energy, just all operating at different frequencies. Sound has deeper intuitive wisdom and knowing way beyond what the mind can comprehend and helps to align/attune our internal landscape.

Sound, like breath (and sound is created on the exhalation, the out-breath) brings us directly into the present moment. That “now” moment is the only space where healing energies can work-not in the past or imaginings around the future.

Sound heals on all the levels of the energy bodies (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual,astral,casual and pranic planes). The subtler bodies have the effect of healing the more denser energy bodies, sometimes even before any physical symptoms have manifested.   

A key tenet behind sound healing is that the body is made up of energy that vibrates at different frequencies-as a whole and part of the collective, for instance, different organs. Illness is caused by disharmony within the body, mind and emotions.

Sound healing helps to bring the mind, emotions and body back into a state of homeostasis, balance and harmony, both within and without, and restores and realigns our nervous system, making one more in tune with spirit and helping to increase one’s life force, energy and creative flow.
