Immerse yourself in a primarily auditory experience comprising of music, beats, sounds and audible and inaudible pulses, designed to bring about healing and changes to your vibration. The room is filled with the soft glow of Himalayan Salt lamps and the soothing fragrances of pure essential oils. We hold energetic memories of all our experiences at body (physical), mind (intellectual) and spirit (multi-dimensional) levels. Sound vibrations have a way of shifting them, enabling release and promoting healing.
As a result your sensation may move from happiness/bliss/relaxed one moment to varying states of unease the next. This is okay and is a process of release. If you find yourself getting caught up in these sensations of unease, focus on your breathing by paying attention to its rhythm. It is good to remember that this is not a form of entertainment. It is not about analysing musical elements such as rhythm, arrangement, genre or performance/output. It is about allowing yourself to be totally encompassed in the experience without any need to analyse or judge.
You don’t need to know how to meditate to benefit from a Sound Cocoon experience. Choose from a variety of experiences such as ‘Ocean Wrap’, ‘Rain Forest Emersion’ and chants to name some.
Singing Bowls
Raise your vibration and re-align and balance your chakras to the pure tones and resonance of crystal singing bowls tuned specifically to each chakra.
The individual Crystal Singing Bowl experience is unique to each person. We tune into the energy of the individual and are guided to play the bowls accordingly. We can feel the vibration of the bowls changing and sense the chakras that need more balancing and are guided to play accordingly. No two sessions are the same.
When your Chakras are balanced and aligned, the organs corresponding to them are healed in turn. You may feel guided to sing out loud or hold on to a crystal to enhance your healing experience.
Our Crystal Singing Bowls are attuned to 432 Hz.
Gong Bath
A gong bath is a form of sound therapy where the gong is played in a therapeutic way to bring about relaxation. The term gong bath means that you are bathed in sound waves, there is no water involved, or clothes removed. Ideally you will experience the gong bath lying comfortably on your back in our room filled with the soft glow of Himalayan Salt lamps and the soothing fragrances of pure essential oils. All you have to do is lie comfortably and close your eyes and relax.
The gong is played very softly, gradually increasing the volume as the session progresses. The playing technique is unique to each individual as we tune into the energy of the person so there is no fixed rhythm which results in the brain not being able to follow and entrainment takes place. Entrainment is the changing of brainwave frequencies.
A gong bath is excellent therapy for depression, fatigue, feelings of separation, loneliness, anger, fear, hostility and many other conditions caused by a lack of balance and harmony in the body and mind.
In the simplest terms, the gong awakens innate wholeness and guides the body to a state of greater balance and harmony. A gong bath is as scientifically sound as it is mysterious. It is as other-worldly as it is logical. It requires nothing but receptivity in order to be fully experienced, but it must be experienced in order to be understood.
Sacred Solfeggio Pipes
Solfeggio frequencies make up the ancient 6-tone scale used in sacred music, including the well known Gregorian Chants. The chants and their special tones were believed to impart spiritual blessings when sung in harmony. Each Solfeggio tone is comprised of a frequency required to balance your energy and keep your body, mind and spirit in perfect harmony.
These frequencies are produced with the help of these pipes. The pipes produce long lasting, healing solfeggio sounds. They are made from high quality heat treated aluminium.The original Solfeggio scale was developed by a Benedictine monk, Guido d’Arezzo (c. 991 AD – c. 1050 AD). It was used by singers to learn chants and songs more easily. Today we know the Solfeggio scale as seven ascending notes assigned to the syllables Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti. The original scale was six ascending notes assigned to Ut-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La. The syllables for the scale were taken from a hymn to St. John the Baptist, Ut Queant Laxis, written by Paulus Diaconus. In the mid-1970’s Dr. Joseph Puleo, a physician and America’s leading herbalist, found six electro-magnetic sound frequencies that corresponded to the syllables from the hymn to St. John the Baptist.
Each tone has its own unique potential:
As you already know, the syllables used to denote the tones are: Ut, Re, Mi Fa, Sol, La. They were taken from the first stanza of the hymn to St. John the Baptist:
Ut queant laxis Resonare fibris
Mira gestorum Famuli tuorum
Solve polluti Labii reatum
Sancte Iohannes
Literal translation from Latin: “In order that the slaves might resonate (resound) the miracles (wonders) of your creations with loosened (expanded) vocal chords. Wash the guilt from (our) polluted lip. Saint John.”
In other words, so people could live together in peace and communicate in harmony about the miracle in their lives, and how God blessed them to produce this “magic”, people’s true unpolluted spiritual natures required revelation. The above text seems to suggest that Solfeggio notes open up a channel of communication with the Divine.
Drum Healing
“The drums connected me with something I hadn’t known before, and I felt a huge lump in my throat that was equal parts sorrow, gratitude and joy. When I was coaxed out for my first inter-tribal dance, I closed my eyes and felt the drum and began to move my feet. It was magic. I could dance. It would be a few years before I was graced with the drum teachings of my people, but there was a spiritual connection nonetheless. Once I felt the drum in my chest, the hollowness I’d carried as a displaced Indian kid was gone. In its place was belonging.”
— Excerpt from the book One Native Life by Richard Wagamese.
From a shamanic and aboriginal perspective, the drum maintains a position on the pantheon of what is viewed as sacred. Many native cultures across the globe that developed completely independently from each other’s spheres of influence, from North America to the Arctic Circle to Africa, share common social themes, one of which is the ceremonial use of the drum.
Drum Healing uses the same principles as the Singing Bowls.
