Sound Baths and Sound Healing with Teresa Wicksteed
I lead Sound Healing and Sound Baths for a number of Circle groups, and at retreats run by Yoga and Ayurveda teachers. In the last few years I have been invited to lead regular sound baths at retreat-holidays for autistic and neurodiverse adults, also at a professional conference for psychotherapists.
About Sound as a healing modality:
Everything in the Universe vibrates at its own individual frequency, including the human body. If part of our body is unwell or we have a ‘dis- ease’, then the whole body feels unbalanced. We can bring ourselves into alignment by using sympathetic vibrations and resonance. Every cell in our body, not just our hearing, enjoys and responds well to sound. Sound travels at great speed in water, and we are made up of approx. seventy per cent water, so directed sound can reach and re-balance our internal organs.
Group Sound Bath:
In a Sound Bath, participants lie down or sit comfortably, while I make the sounds; a powerful transmission of my Intention to Heal.Many associate a Sound Bath with large Gongs, which I do not use. I have been trained by the UK College of Sound Healing in Sound Healing using Voice, also specialist healing instruments: I use my voice, singing with the drum, Himalayan Bowls, a small Chinese Gong, a Sounding Bowl (a unique wooden string instrument made in Devon by Tobias Kaye), Ocean Drum, Koshi wind chimes, and Rattles.
The silence between the sounds is a crucial part of my Sound Bath.
I modulate the sounds so that each participant may receive the sound which is the one they need at that time; so I respond intuitively to the individual Energy Fields of participants, within a structured framework of balancing the chakra system.
The Sound Bath is a complete relaxation: participants are invited to relax into their own unique inner healing Journey. I begin and end the sound bath with a sharing Circle ritual, but there is no need to speak during this, it is an invitation only!
My intention is for participants’ highest good.
