    Making my way to Sound Bowls and Finding Sound Meditation

    My path to finding sound meditation

    How did my journey to finding sound meditation begin? Along the way, through my journey in life, I’ve always been what most people would consider a “woo girl,” where I’ve always had an interest in topics and ways of living that are outside of the mainstream.

    I have been interested in conciousness, life after death, spiritual healing, and topics that were not mainstream, period. I have learned, and reflected back, that I learn in life through feeling and listening and observing.

    The health crisis that started my journey

    I found myself in my own health crisis in 2011 with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. It left me with a lot of severe nerve damage including damage to my brain. It left me with a lot of pain which no pharmaceutical drugs would alleviate.

    So I started to look for alternative forms of healing. I found my way to several different forms of sound meditation and sound frequencies. Through trial and error, and by going to others to receive sound baths and sound frequencies, I began to notice how the pain in my head slowly started to diminish. I was able to be put into a state of deep meditative relaxation that was so profound and so healing to me that words cannot articulate it. I still have a hard time putting my experience into words.

    Different experiences for everyone

    Everybody has such different experiences with sound frequency and vibration. For me, it is like my soul is being pulled to it. It is as if, even though it may not make sense to me on the outside, it is just something that I know makes sense.

    The journey has been a long one to come out in the open and play the sound bowls and utilize the frequencies of sound with other people. Eventually I realized that I wanted to practice for others. In playing for groups, I continued my own inner healing. Throughout the next several years, I would have family and friends participate, and I would always receive positive feedback. My hope is that others receive a form of support and healing that supports mind, body, and soul. It is something that wants to come out of me.

    I connect very deeply with the energy in the room and with who is around me. I intuitively connect with the bowls and play what needs to be played.
