The Benefits of Sound Healing
If you're new to sound healing, you might be wondering “what does it actually do?”
How can sound, of all things, create such profound shifts in the body and mind?
The truth is, it’s hard to explain until you feel it. But there are very real reasons people return to this work again and again (myself included).
Mental & Emotional Support
Sound healing gently helps the nervous system reset. It slows everything down, quiets the mind, and creates space, a space for you to simply be, without having to do or fix anything.
Here are a few things I often hear people say after a session:
‘I feel lighter.’
‘I haven’t felt that calm in years.’
‘It’s like something shifted, and I can breathe again.’
Why does this happen?
Because sound affects our brainwaves. The vibrations can bring us into slower, more relaxed states, the kind associated with deep rest, creativity, and healing.
Some emotional benefits you might notice:
Less stress and overwhelm
A brighter mood or sense of calm
Mental clarity or a release of scattered thoughts
Physical Benefits
The effects aren’t just emotional, they’re physical too. When the body relaxes, it begins to heal. Muscles soften, breath deepens, and tension begins to melt.
Some people report:
Lower blood pressure and slower heart rate
Better sleep (sometimes the best sleep!)
Relief from chronic tension or pain
Spiritual & Energetic Shifts
For those on a deeper path, sound healing can be a powerful way to connect to your inner world, your intuition, your body’s wisdom, even your spiritual team.
During sessions, many people experience:
Emotional release
Intuitive clarity
Sensations of energy moving or unblocking
A feeling of being more in tune with themselves or “back home” in their body
The bowls are often tuned to support the body’s energy centres (chakras), and when they’re played intentionally, they can help clear what’s no longer needed and invite what’s ready to come in.
What Sound Healing Isn’t
Sound healing doesn’t replace medical or psychological care. It works alongside your healing journey. Everyone experiences it differently. Some feel a big shift right away, others notice subtle changes over time.
There’s no pressure to ‘feel something’. Just showing up and letting the bowls meet you wherever you are is more than enough.
In The Space
The bowls I use are beautiful Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls. Over the years, they’ve become important companions on this journey.
Each one carries its own unique energy, and together, they create a soundscape that feels sacred. I’ve witnessed moments of stillness, release, and deep clarity, sometimes all in the span of a single session.
This isn’t just sound.
It’s support.
It’s a space to let go, expand, and reconnect with yourself.
If you feel drawn to it, I’d be honoured to hold space for you.
