Nurture the mind, body with healing vibrations
When we open our heart to positive frequencies with the intention of healing through sound therapy instruments such as the medicine drum, singing bowls and native American style flute we are inviting ourself on a journey of self-care.
Notice the combination of instruments I play here in the video? As a sound practitioner this is where we can tune into our intuitive create spirit to help rebalance the chakras. As you can hear and see in this music medicine sound healing (video) I play a variety of singing bowls and medicine drum that are tuned to the native flute.
All these sound therapy instruments are tuned to the solar plexus, as the native American style flute is in the key of E. Notice all instruments are in harmony with the flute, creating a cohesiveness between all instruments. I had to hunt around in my drum circle kit to find a drum that was close to E, I just tweaked it a little to get it to that frequency.
(FYI) It had taken about 4 days to put this track together – playing, mixing and mastering.
By implementing the metaphysical elements of music with rhythm, melody and harmony we nurture the body, mind and spirit. The drum being a grounding instrument that stimulates the Base Chakra, the melody the Heart Chakra and singing bowls for Third Eye and Crown Chakra.
There are many healing grounding rhythms to play on the medicine drum and in this video I play the beautiful heartbeat rhythm. The rhythm of our first drum teacher our Mother. I also chose to record this track at a meditative tempo to help calm the nervous system.
When facilitating sound baths I implement the healing elements of music, playing a wonderful variety of Himalayan singing bowls, medicine drums, melodic instruments from the native American flute, the Ravi drum and sansula kalimba.
However, each person brings their unique energy to the group, making a lovely exchange of group collective energy. Therefor creating a different experience from sound bath to sound bath.
These principals can also translate to facilitating drum circles too. That's the power of this knowledge.
Luminous beams are we…
Every musical note resonates at a frequency and every frequency has its own colour. As you can see in the graph, each Chakra (energy point within the body) has its own frequency and colour. By playing a variety of healing elements of musical instruments we can help tune the body, mind and spirit into balance.
It all comes down to energy. (Let’s get playful for a moment). One of my favourite scenes in Empire Strikes Back is Yoda explaining ‘energy’ (The Force) to Luke. It always gives me shivers up the spine.
It’s never been a more important time for self-awareness. What energy do I bring to relationships, to my work with family and those who I meet for the first time? By tuning into that inner silence within, our intuition, we begin to explore the very energy of who we are and recognise our true essence of peace, joy, love and purity. It takes work though… yes?
With the assistance of sound therapy instruments we can tap into silence within
For centuries many cultures intuitively used these kinds of instruments as healing tools to rebalance body, mind and spirit.
We are living in an extraordinary time. A time of rapid change, to the point where we are finding it challenging to keep up. In some way many of us feel overwhelmed by this continuing change, triggering instability within our spirit.
One way we can create stability in our life is through the healing elements of music which are connected to meditation and meditation connects us to our true essence of who we are. Yes it takes work. It’s a lifetime commitment to ourself. So, let’s get going, no time to lose.
