the world is made up of sound
How does Sound work?
When we fill a singing bowl with water, we can easily see the vibration and movement created by sound. Sound waves travel at an incredible speed and even more so in water. As we are around 70% liquid, these sound waves travel through us ~ through our tissues, muscles, tendons, bones, cavities and organs ~ stimulating our whole body to release tension.
"These cosmic sounds remind us of the origin of the universe, of our origin. That is what is so powerful about the sound of the singing bowl.
As the universe was created from sound, so have you been created from the cosmic sound."
Peter Hess
What will I experience?
During a Peter Hess sound massage, we experience these sound waves not only through us but around us. These beautiful, rich and warm sounds that we hear from the Peter Hess bowls contain multiple overtones and frequencies. They induce a profound state of relaxation and relief and the majority of people enter into an alpha state of consciousness with ease. Theta and Delta states, that occur with deep meditation and trance, are also experienced by many people with these bowls. They're played rhythmically and gently on the body and in the aura. You will be fully clothed during the experience and light touch is used (but not necessary) before bowls are placed on the body.
What is the "Peter Hess" method?
The Peter Hess method is gentle and respectful in its approach to sound but not any less effective. It balances the nervous system and creates a safe haven within the body so that experiences can be had from within. We are so bombarded with noise in our day to day life and more sound does not equal more relaxation or healing. It's important to calm the nervous system so we can feel safe to relax and heal. Silence is valued with the Peter Hess method and it's interwoven masterfully into a sound massage.
What type of equipment do you use?
In a Sound Massage, therapeutic grade Peter Hess singing bowls are used and sometimes a Fen gong and koshi chimes. These are made of quality bronze that is enriched with other metals in a traditional way. These bowls are designed for specific energy centres and parts of the body.
In heartlight sound journeys other equipment are also used like venus chimes, crystal bowls, flutes and drums.
What are the benefits?
The power of sound are many and some of the benefits include:
How will I feel afterwards?
Often people feel peaceful following a sound massage. Sometimes people feel sleepy or heavy and this usually dissipates within 24 hours. Many have multiple insights and feel open to sharing these with loved ones. It's important to be gentle with yourself, to drink lots of water and to honour this time as sacred.
