For The Therapist - The Effects of Sound on YOU

"It is in the energy field of the healer that determines whether healing will take place."
-- Dr. Wayne Dyer


"...it is very difficult to grasp the concept that our so-called normal waking state is neither the highest nor the most effective state of which the human mind is capable, that there are other states of vastly greater awareness which one can enter briefly and then return to normal living enriched, enlivened and enhanced."
-- Maxwell Cade, The Awakened Mind, p. 87

Open Heart/Open Mind

All healing flows through the heart. Seek methods to cultivate a loving intention in each treatment session. When you initially touch a patient or client, do so gently with your heart also. Your hands simply become an extension of your heart… "I care… I open myself to hear and listen to you… I am open to what this healing session can offer you."

Be open to surprise. Be tactilely inquisitive. If you are a touch therapist, listen through your hands and see if a certain thought occurs to you and explore it. Keep paying attention to both heart and hands as the session progresses.

Healing Sound

While psychoacoustic recordings will be interacting with your client, moving their mind and body into healing states, it will also be interacting with you. Use it. Make each and every session an opportunity to continue your own training and development as a healer. As you maintain an open heart/open mind stance, allow yourself to become fully immersed in the psychoacoustic sonic soundscape and tune into your client. Watch for changes in you that become more open, more facilitative, more balanced and unitive.

Ask yourself "What is happening in this moment, right here, right now?" As the soundscape envelopes you, pay attention to all of the sensations you experience as you work with your client. Do you feel a warmth and/or other sensation in your hands as you work? Are there areas of your client's body that seem to tug and call out to you? Do you receive any mental images and/or emotional impressions as you work? Pay attention to your responses as you work. If you are unfamiliar with this approach, then work on someone who you are comfortable with and they with you. Ask them for verbal feedback and confirmation of any impressions you receive during the session. When you are feeling any sensations (in your hands, up your spine or in your head, to name a few), ask the client what they are feeling and/or experiencing. Ask them if the area you are working on is "significant". If it is, then you now have learned something about yourself as a healing feedback system and, when you experience those feedback energetic sensations, you are "on target". If not, continue to work and pay attention as the sound acts upon you and you tune into other healing/healer states.

You are a radio receiver and the sound which permeates you and your client in the room is turning the dial to a healing program. The station we are tuning into is, at its core, running a program on unitive nature. This is where healing occurs. In this sense, healing is not something that you do, but something that you allow to happen by becoming a part of the healing program.

You will be listening to these recordings multiple times a day. This is an unparalleled opportunity for you to allow them to turn the dial of your heart and mind until you arrive at the station playing your healing/healer program. This is what these recordings are designed to do! Listen to them and watch how they change you and your clients.

Be One with the Music

If you are a touch therapist, tune into the rhythms of the recording. Allow your strokes to fall in line with the rhythm and pulses of the music. The recordings I create have specific rhythms that synchronize with the rhythms of our parasympathetic mechanisms -- heart rate, craniosacral flow and other subtle energetic movements that move outside the boundaries of the physical. Your hands become one and the same with the music and create a powerful, synergistic experience for your client. Their experience will deepen exponentially as your hands and the rhythms of the music combine into one expression. Your experience will deepen, also, as you become attuned to the flow of the treatment session itself.
