If you’re unfamiliar with sound healing, sound – tone or vibration – includes the drum, gong, didgeridoo, singing bowls and other instruments including voice, all ancient healing modalities. Sound accelerates healing, boosts learning and improves neurological and social interaction. Sound can lower heart rate and blood pressure. Research is in its infancy and ongoing on how sound healing is improving depression, anxiety, Alzheimer’s and dementia, speech and movement.
In “The Healing Power of Sound,” the author, Dr. Mitchell Gaynor, a former Director of Oncology in New York, talks about how sound can change our immune function; it affects us on literally a cellular and sub-cellular level. In Dr. Gaynor’s practice, he used sound healing with his patients and saw transformative results, having “miraculous turnarounds in their lives.”
Given the incredible healing with sound, we will continue to host sound healing events at the Center. The Gong Sound Healing with Jenn Mercier of Mahan Yoga sold out in July. We are aware that several were interested and were not able to make it. It was an amazing experience and we are happy to share that Jenn will be back again on September 1st with her beautiful wind gong. We look forward to Joseph B. Carringer, Didgeridoo Sound Therapist, returning to the Center for powerful individual Private Didgeridoo sessions. Book one of these events now.
