Calmblue Holistic Therapies

Sound-Sense

Medicinal, Therapeutic Sound

This new treatment called Sound-Sense was developed in 2016 by Carol Watson of Calmblue. It works with sound in deeply profound ways; gently, or vigorously affecting, or impacting the subtle chakra system of the body and indeed the whole body’s systems; the nervous, circulatory, digestive, lymphatic and skeletal. It is mind, heart, body and soul work.

Throughout a Sound-Sense session the client is made comfortable as they lie on the couch; covered and warm. The room is darkened, and during the treatment no touch is applied to the client’s body at all apart from placement, one at a time, of a medical or Solfeggio high-pitched and low-pitched tuning fork. These are gently placed on the forehead, the chest, solar plexus and abdomen. A singing bowl is chimed and drum played along with several other instruments. This sends tiny ripples of vibration into the areas of the body as sound waves, and starts to shift blocked or stuck energy in the body in order to clear it.

The impact sound has during the session will vary according to the client and is tailor made their needs and preferences, whether it simply be deep rhythmic, circular-breathing using the in and out breath that will deeply oxygenate the system and purify it of dense carbon dioxide or tone the chakras. Even gentle chanting mantras, such as the OM, can be incorporated and can have a soulful impact on the psyche and being. Carol is a qualified Laughter Yoga Leader and can incorporate a powerful laughter exercise into the session if you don’t mind simulating laughter together. It may not be for everyone but the brain cannot tell the difference between simulated or real laughter and releases endorphins into the body that will really, quite literally, lighten you up. It also moves denseness in the muscle and tissue.

You understand how sound does and can uplift, inspire, motivate, shake you up, bring up old memories, move you. It makes ‘sound sense’ to apply as a healing modality, just as the ancient cultures have applied sounds for therapeutic benefits for generations. The Native American Indian and Egyptian drums and rattles, Tibetan singing bowls, South American pan pipes, Aboriginal Yidak or Digeridoo are thought to repair torn ligaments and broken bones. The Celtic or Druidic pipes and tunes in this culture can mesmerise and be very emotive.

Sound invokes reaction; whether to soothe, such as the calm of ocean waves or birdsong in nature, to enhance visionary or higher states of consciousness.

Sound works for clients with issues regarding breathing, busy minds, headaches, sinus problems, stiffness in the body, hearing or balance issues. Or for those in need of finding the deepest states of relaxation where they can reconnect with nature in a very soulful way. At the end of the session you may feel revived, renewed and grounded ready to face another day.
