The human body is an acoustic powerhouse, with every cell, atom, and molecule resonating at a specific frequency, creating a hushed symphony of vibration. We listen with not only our ears but with every organ in our body. Even from a scientific standpoint, every cell within your body resonates at a different vibratory frequency.

Recent scientific studies have confirmed that our brain waves synchronize to our environment through neural oscillation. Neural oscillation is the synchronization of brainwaves to external acoustic vibrations. Brainwaves sync to external sources in our environment, including our interactions with others and through music.

There are five different brain-wave states, each measured in Hz. During a sound healing session, beta brain waves are reduced to theta and gradually increased to low alpha towards the session's end. The brainwave states are as follows:

- Delta: 0.5–4 Hz. Delta is a state of deep sleep, unconsciousness, and detached awareness.

- Theta: 4–8 Hz. Theta is a state of relaxation, deep meditation, REM sleep, mental imagery, and heightened intuition. Theta is a powerful gateway into the subconscious.

- Alpha: 8-12 Hz. Alpha is a state of relaxed reflection and light meditative state.

- Beta: 12-35 Hz. Beta is a state of alertness, high concentration, and focused attention. It is often the state of anxiety.

- Gamma: 32-100 Hz. Gamma is a state of problem-solving and heightened perception.

Sound healing has also been shown to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), which is responsible for the body’s rest and digest response 1. The PNS is the opposite of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which is responsible for the body’s fight or flight response. Sound healing slows down the breath rate, heart rate, and brainwaves, putting the body into an almost trance-like state 1. This state of relaxation can help reduce stress and anxiety, lower blood pressure, and improve sleep quality.

Sound healing can also help balance the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which controls and regulates all vital functions, including heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate Many diseases, including chronic physical and mental health, are diseases of the ANS. Sound healing interventions designed to improve the functioning of the ANS can help improve health and wellness.

By soaking in the restoring sounds from various healing instruments such as crystalline and Himalayan singing bowls, we can rebalance our vital energy centers, promote a more profound sense of inner peace, and bring relaxation to our often over-stimulated minds.

Some of the countless benefits of a soundbath are:

Reduces stress and anxiety

Improves sleep quality

Lowers blood pressure

Enhances focus and concentration.

Boosts the immune system

Promotes relaxation

Alleviates pain

Reduces inflammation

Balances the autonomic nervous system

Enhances creativity

Improves mood

Increases self-awareness

Promotes spiritual growth

Enhances cognitive function

Promotes inner peace

During A Soundbath the most common reaction for people to have, aside from feeling a deep sense of relaxation, is to fall asleep. Or if it does not help you fall asleep, it might lure you into a state of hypnogalgia, which is the state between wakefulness and sleep. It is within the hypnogalgic state that a lot of the so called ‘psychic phenanom’ happens. It is a state profoundly known for manifestation, healing, and deep trance. Because you are entering into this state, you might exhibit the signs of a deep trance, such as time dissapating, limb twitches, and a feeling of being multple places at once.

The energy field surrounding our body is called many things, prana in Sanskirt, qui in Buddhism, or the electromagnetic biofield by quantum physicists. All living things have an electromagnetic field surrounding them, expanding five to six feet out of our bodies. Similar to the rings of a tree, this energetic field tells the story of you, harboring a collection of collective experiences. Over time, our energetic field can become distorted or blocked by negative or incoherent energies. Much like tuning the strings of a guitar, the pranic biofield can be brought into greater harmony. In a pranic balancing session, weighted tuning forks are applied to the body, while unweighted ones are used on the energetic field, often changing in pitch when detecting blockages, traumas, stagnant energy, or resistance. When continually applied to distorted vibrational frequencies, the tuning fork entrains incoherent into coherence.

Ambient Sound Healing created the vibroacoustic sound table. It is a customized massage table with embedded special speakers that enable you to physically feel the music instead of just hearing it. This offers multiple benefits, ranging from deep relaxation to pain relief.

Every song feels different through the table since the musical notes resonate in a tangible way.

PEMF Neorhythm is a therapeutic device that uses pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) to entrain and treat pain and improve the overall health and well-being of individuals. PEMF Neorhythm works by providing magnetic fields of varying intensity and frequency to the body, which can stimulate cells and increase cell energy. The device also helps to reduce stress levels and promote relaxation. Additionally, it can entrain the brainwaves into a slower, more receptive state.

Bone conduction speakers use vibrations to transmit sound through the skull and directly to the inner ear. They can also be used to turn virtually any device into a speaker.

Since they are small transducers, they produce a noticeable vibration.

During sessions, the speakers can be used to play certain music to deepen your state, or used as more of a RIFE Machine. For example, the speakers might be set to resonate with a C note and set on your ankles to stimulate the root chakra.

Red light therapy is a type of phototherapy that uses low-level red light to treat a variety of skin issues, from wrinkles and fine lines to scarring and sun damage. It works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that help keep the skin firm and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Red light therapy can also improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and kill bacteria, making it a great choice for people looking to improve their skin.

Note: 🛑 indicates breaks/pauses/periods of non-talking, which typically range from 7-10 minutes. During this time you will still hear music from the table or from the instruments.

Take a deep breath and feel your body become more relaxed with each exhale.

I want you to picture standing in front of a forest path. As you enter the forest, you feel the calm breeze on your skin and the gentle warmth of the sun. The sun filters through the thick canopy of trees, providing a warmth and peace that envelopes you. All around you, the trees are alive with movement, with birds chirping, squirrels scurrying, and the sound of a distant stream bubbling in the air.

The sky above is a deep, clear blue, and the clouds are a pure, white blanket. As the wind blows, they drift slowly and gracefully across the horizon. Some of the clouds are shy and hide behind the others, while others boldly reflect the sun's rays and cast sparkling rainbows across the sky.

You stand there, mesmerized, taking in the beauty of the sky and the earth.

🛑

As you wander through the mystical forest, you suddenly stumble upon a picturesque clearing, illuminated by a rainbow bridge that appears to float over a tranquil pond. A gentle fawn emerges from the trees, inviting you to explore the depths of the forest, its large, soulful eyes seem to draw you in. Its ears twitch in anticipation, as if it knows a secret you are yet to discover. With a gentle nudge, you follow the fawn further into the sun drenched forest.

🛑

As you walk deeper into the forest you feel like you have stepped into a fairytale as you beheld the glowing mushrooms and vibrant colored flowers that surrounded you. The bioluminescent mushrooms light up the ground like a thousand dancing stars, while dazzlingly bright flowers whisper tales of a magical land. The trees are alive with dazzlingly hued butterflies, like twinkling fairies fluttering around.

You watch as one flutters by, its wings a kaleidoscope of beautiful colors, like a rainbow that came to life. It gracefully flutters around, its wings beating like a gentle drum, as if it is playing its own wonderful song. It's like a tiny dancer in the sky, twirling and spinning, darting here and there, never stopping for too long.

🛑

Continuing your journey, you came across a small clearing with a large, twisted oak tree in the center. A gentle breeze blows through the branches. You can feel the tree's energy washing over you. You knew that this is a place of magic and mystery, and you felt a deep connection to the tree and the forest.

As you approach the tree, you feel a gentle warmth emanating from it. And if you listen, it's like the tree seems to be whispering secrets to you. What Does it tree whisper to you?

🛑

Deep in an enchanted forest there sits a hidden oasis. All who enter feel a sense of peace and tranquility wash over them as soon as they step foot inside. The fawn agrees to take you so you follow the fawn.

At The centerpiece of the forest is a crystal-clear, spring-fed pool. Its tranquil waters ripple gently, reflecting the trees and sky above. The air is filled with the sweet scent of flowers and herbs. Wildflowers blanket the ground and hang from the trees, and the leaves of the trees are full of life, vibrating with energy.

The fawn seems content to stay with you for a while, and as you watch it play and explore, you feel a deeper connection to the natural world.

🛑

Deep in the forest, there lies a hidden secret.

A magical underground waterfall that can heal and soothe any soul. A small entrance, hidden behind large trees and vines, leads to the waterfall's serene beauty.

As you venture down the winding path, you feel the energy of the waterfall increase.

The air is thick with healing energy, the sound echoing off the forests walls.

At the bottom of the path, you arrive at the waterfall. The water cascades down in a beautiful array of blues and greens, dancing as it hits the pool below. As you stand in awe of the beauty, you feel the healing energy radiating through your body. You can feel the tension and stress melting away as the healing power of the waterfall washes over you.

🛑

As the sun sets in the forest, its brilliant rays of orange, red and yellow light up the sky, creating a breathtakingly beautiful sight. The leaves of the trees are bathed in an ethereal golden light, while the birds and animals of the forest sing their evening songs. The sound of the wind rustling through the trees and the smell of the earthy forest air is the perfect backdrop to this unparalleled natural spectacle. The sky is a deep navy blue as the stars start to twinkle and the night takes over, and the horizon is a breathtaking blend of reds and oranges, leaving an unforgettable memory for all who behold it.

As you turned to leave, you felt a tugging on your heartstrings, and you knew that you would be back soon. You had experienced the enchantment of the forest, and you felt blessed to have been a part of it.
