At a fundamental level, healing involves two very basic processes: 1) releasing things that do not belong in the mind-body-spirit energetic system, and 2) filling with that which does belong– divine essence, high vibrational qualities, energies lost along the way of life’s circumstances and occurrences, that are in need of coming into being at this time.

Thus, in sound healing, we ask for and make sound that helps us with the release process— dense energies that are blocking us from wellness, negative or limiting thought-forms, obsolete ideas and beliefs that impede our progress, unproductive emotions and their energy signatures. We facilitate release of these by using “catalytic” sounds– sounds that you might experience as abrasive, unsettling, a little jarring. Most rattles provide catalytic sound, as do abrupt vocalizations, growling, sharp or staccato sounds. Catalytic sounds break up bound energy and create movement so that densities, unwanted and unneeded things can be released.

Once we have released, we then invite divine energies to fill us. We ask for power and wisdom to come from the spirit realms, from nature, from wherever you source high vibrational benevolent energies, qualities, ideas, thoughts, feelings. Inviting and filling is most effectively facilitated by sweet, melodious, gentle, powerfully harmonious “coherent” sound. Chants of the deities, lullabies, choir music, lovely songs and sounds are of coherent nature. Power, wisdom, high vibrational energies ride these sweet sounds into your system, filling any voids that may have been created through the releasing process. It is essential that when we release, we then fill.
