Sound Healing is the therapeutic application of sound frequencies applied to the body, mind and spirit with the intention of restoring them to a state of harmony and health.
This is an absolutely beautiful therapy and something everyone should experience at least once. Nothing is expected of you as you experience deep relaxation while soaking up the soothing sounds and healing vibrations of the gorgeous Tibetan singing bowls.
If you would like to know a bit more about the Healing Power of Sound and how it works then please read on…
Each of us vibrates at our own unique frequency, which means our organs, bones and every single cell in our bodies are continuously resonating. When we are unwell, stressed or simply out of sync our cells are vibrating at an unhealthy level often causing what we know as ‘dis-ease’ or ‘dis-harmony’. During a Sound Healing Therapy using the amazing Tibetan singing bowls (placed on or around the body), the sounds and vibrations are transmitted into our blood, organs, tissues and cellular memory through the 75 – 85% water we are made up of. Our cells respond positively by restoring the normal vibratory frequencies of the ‘dis-eased’, out of harmony parts of the body bringing us back into alignment & well-being.
If you are still unsure as to the power of sound, let me put it to you this way…When you think we are made up of approx. 85% water and sound travels in water at 3,350 miles per hour, you will realise how great a conductor for sound our bodies are and all it’s healing potential!
“If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard and not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes. Sound can redress imbalances on every level of physiologic functioning and can play a positive role in the treatment of virtually any medical disorder.” – Dr. Mitchell Gaynor, director of Medical Oncology & Integrative Medicine, the Cornell Cancer Prevention Centre in New York. Dr. Mitchell Gaynor has been using Sound Healing with singing bowls to treat his cancer patients with outstanding results since 1991.
So How Does Sound Healing Work?
It was Albert Einstein who proved that when we break matter down into smaller components, we move beyond the material realm and into a realm in which everything is energy. This is the Law of Vibration, a law of nature that states that ‘nothing rests; everything moves; every-thing vibrates.’
Everything in our universe has a unique vibration or frequency, including us and they vary depending on our emotions, health & feeling etc. From the single cell organism, to groups of cells we know as our bodily organs and through to the human organism as a whole, all of these have a frequency unique to them. The healthier the vibration, the healthier the cell or organism. Every type of sound you can imagine, from an angry voice to a drill, a fog horn to a purring cat and simple soothing tones have an effect on our nervous system which has a knock on effect on every cell in the body, either creating relaxation or stress. In response to the stressful sounds, cells recoil and hold onto their toxicity and become what we know as ‘dis-eased’. In response to being fed soothing tones they let go of their toxicity and naturally begin to function normally again. This is why well-being and physical health are so inextricably linked to sound. The simplest way of communicating with cells is through sound vibration for which there are various methods & tools such as the Tibetan / Crystal bowls, Tuning Forks, Music Therapy, Chanting, Toning & many more.
Sound Familiar?
You are more familiar with the power of sound than you might realise – For example, when an opera singer vibrates a glass with her voice the singer has matched her voice to the resonant frequency of the glass and set it into vibration. As the singer increases the volume of her sound the resonance becomes too great for the forces that hold the glass together and it shatters. Luckily, our bodies are more flexible than a glass! The cells of our body enjoy the vibration of sound.
And of course, modern medicine now offers the option of applying sound waves to break up kidney and gallstones (as well as being used in many other areas of medicine) in the body with a machine known as a Lithotripter. This machine bombards the stones with a specific sound frequency for one to two hours. The patient is usually admitted in the morning and discharged in the evening & generally no anaesthetic is needed. The pulverised stone is passed out of the body through the urine and therefore eliminating the need for drugs or surgery which is always a plus.
Perhaps one of the more familiar & exciting forms of using sound waves is to check in on your unborn baby! Ultrasound pictures are made from sound waves which are too high pitched to be heard by the human ear. The sound waves travel through your skin and are focused on a certain part of your body by a scanning device called a “transducer.” It picks up the sound waves as they bounce back from organs inside the body.
What Can Sound Healing Help?
Although the vibrational energy of the bowl can be directed to specific areas for healing purposes, they work more on a fundamental level. When the tibetan singing bowls are used within meditations and physical vibrational healing techniques their harmonic resonance stimulates the brain & bodies cells to make positive changes that help heal & aid with the following (it is worth noting that whilst these incredible sound tools can be used to treat virtually any condition, in adults & children, they can be used equally as well to maintain well being & aid deep relaxation) ;
Healing on physical, mental, spiritual & emotional level
Healing stress related disorders
Arthritis
Autoimmune Disease
Cancer
Tinnitus
Depression, anxiety & addiction
Relief from menstrual difficulties, fatigue & insomnia
Digestive disorders, emotional imbalances, joint and muscle aches
Detoxification down to the cellular and “bone deep” level
Deeper, more profound sleep
Management or resolution of learning issues, ADD, ADHD & Autism
Balance Chakras
Boosting the immune system
Effectively alter consciousness into a peaceful and expansive, deeper meditative state
“The body is held together by sound. The presence of disease indicates that some sounds have gone out of tune“ ~ Deepak Chopra
Although these sacred instruments possess a variety of harmonics, the fundamental vibration of each bowl is rooted in the Sanskrit mantra OM…This primordial sound is the perfection of the universe.

Reiki is an ancient, non-intrusive complementary therapy. A hands-on / over healing technique, Reiki enhances the body’s own innate ability to heal itself on all levels. As with all therapies at Ahimsa, it is a truly beautiful experience and one where nothing is expected of you only to lie down and allow the healing to occur.
It helps restore balance and harmony to the mind, body and spirit. The energy involved in Reiki healing is the universal energy that surrounds all life. Reiki is used throughout the world by people from all walks of life and can benefit everyone.
We all have an energy field (aura) surrounding our physical body. As we go through life we place demands on our energy field. During a Reiki treatment this energy field can re-energise. Reiki restores the natural balance of the body, providing deep relaxation and bringing a sense of peace and well-being. It is called universal life energy because it draws upon the healing energy of the universe rather than the energy of the practitioner.
Reiki can help boost the immune system, reduce stress, increase energy, promote relaxation, improve focus and clarity of mind, enhance self-confidence, help with the grieving process, complement other therapies, accelerate the healing process after injuries and surgery, benefit chronic and acute medical conditions, help to maintain health and well-being, compliments conventional therapies and so much more.
It’s gentle energy is also effective in calming the mind and is a great support in helping people deal with normal day to day issues in a relaxed way. People usually find that after Reiki they cope better with life issues without their energy being depleted along the way.

Similar to acupuncture, except using fingertips instead of needles, EFT focuses on the meridian points (or energy hot spots) to restore balance to your body’s energy systems. Based on Chinese medicine, meridian points are areas of the body which energy flows through. These pathways help balance energy flow to maintain your health. Any imbalance can influence disease or sickness. By restoring any energy imbalance, symptoms from any negative experience or emotion can be relieved.
Using fingertip tapping to apply pressure helps you access your body’s energy systems and send signals to the part of the brain that controls stress. Stimulating the meridian points through EFT tapping can reduce the stress or negative emotion you feel from your issue, ultimately restoring balance to your disrupted energy fields on all levels.
