What is Sound Healing?

Sound healing is a holistic and integrative modality in which intentional sound, shifting frequencies, music, and vibrational medicine are used for altering ones physical, emotional, consciousness state. This broader and cross-cultural approach includes, complements, and enriches music therapies, for it is more scientifically informedand spiritually inspired.

  • Is based on concepts of life that recognize vibration as the fundamental creative force
  • Every tone is a living cell. It is a microcosm reflecting faithfully the macrocosm, its laws, its center. A tone is a solar system, Dane Rudyar
  • The Voice is Energy, as the fabric of breath, vibration and emotion. It affects the body and the mind more efficiently than any other form of sound.
  • Vocal sounds are a primary source of energy to the brain and the spirit world
  • Music holds the key to remembering our origin & reconnecting with ancestral lines,  and the Source of all creation
  • Sound is God_(Nada Brahma) _Through Music, One can reach God

As Dr. Mitchell Gaynor, M.D. emphasizes:
Sound and music enter the healing equation from several directions:

 It may alter cellular functions through energetic effects;
It may entrain biological systems….,
It may be calm the mind and therefore the body,
It may have emotional effects which in turn help to regulate 
       the immune system – the healer within.

As a result the therapeutic use of sound:

  • Reduced anxiety, heart, and respiratory rates
  • Reduced cardiac complications
  • Lowered blood pressure
  • Increased levels of immune cell messengers, molecules that help regulate the activity of other immune cells
  • Drop in stress hormones that activate our body’s flight-or-flight response
  • Boost in endorphins, “the brains natural painkillers”, which in turn help build a stronger immune system.

Vox Mundi Practitioners offer tools and instruction through workshops and personal training, supervision, and individual and group sessions. Contact our office for detailed information and to schedule an introductory sessions.

Class is designed for small group_Register ASAP_bring your own instrument.

If you don’t have a group, you are still welcome to attend. We will provide you with a group from the participants.

It’s highly recommended to attend the three sessions to get higher results.
Participants could attend each session individually depending upon space availability.

DESCRIPTION

We’ll gather in a small group in a sound studio of the Voice Loft with all we need to sound good; great microphones and state of the art sound equipment. We’ll learn the basic techniques of group dynamics and facilitation for the chant leaders to be aware of activating sympathetic resonance among their group participants, encourage deep listening, and foster self-confidence, communication skills, and vitality.

We will integrate ancient and modern strategies to explore how to create a harmonious and safe space for creative expression, and a delicate balance between structure and improvisation.  The materials will be informed from Naad and Bhakti Yoga (Devotional chanting), and Circle Songs and Vocal Improvisation groups. Each participant will bring their vocal culture, their particular needs, and their own repertoire of chants and songs. All participants will have space to lead the group as part of each session. If applicable and time allows, we will also listen to recordings of the practitioner leading previous chant sessions and give feedback.

Applying her exceptional skills of deep listening, and more than 30 years of experience leading groups of all sizes, age, themes, and vocal cultures, Silvia will offer guidance on dynamics and session planning, including wisdom teachings, and an original repertoire of sounds as chants that will serve as entry points, warm-ups, and exit points. The intention is to identify practitioner’s self-concern, or impediment, enhancing confidence and conviction in their focus and presence.

The class includes tips and practices for Voice Development: proper breathing methods, voice resonance, tone quality, range, volume, texture, and intonation will be explored and refined.

It’s time to refine your craft and the work you love to offer!
It’s time to trust your intuition!
It’s time to empower your voice!
It’s time to advocate your vocation!

Through enhancing self-confidence and vitality as a chant leader, these sessions have the potential to increase the numbers of regular participants that attend to your chant circles, concert, and classes. Be sure to Pre-Register to reserve your place.
