19: S is for Sound Healing

Holistic Jam with Anita Denise

In this episode, Anita talks about the origins and benefits of using sound for healing and the role of the Gong in sound healing.
Since the time of early man sound has been used to facilitate healing. Healing with sound is believed to date back to ancient Greece, when music was used in an attempt to cure mental disorders.
It also played a major role in traditional ceremonies celebrations initiations. Ancient cultures used a send chamber to work with sound in a powerful way for healing and to create an altered state of consciousness.
Throughout history, music has been used to boost morale in military troops, help people work faster and more productively, and even ward off evil spirits by chanting.
Today sound is being trialled in science to explore the possibility to sonically blast away tumours!
The range of tones within the gong are very extensive and incorporates all of the tones and harmonics of the sound spectrum.
The gong is excellent for people who have a monkey mind, because one of the main effects of the gong is to shut down the monkey mind.
Sound therapy uses different aspects of sound to improve your emotional and physical well-being. Sound therapy sessions can be experienced one-on-one or in a group with a specially trained practitioner.
A session may involve sitting or lying down while listening to music or sounds from a speaker or instruments, or having vibrations applied using a special tool, such as a tuning fork.
Depending on the method, you may be encouraged to participate by singing, moving, or even using a musical instrument, or you may need to remain still and quiet to let the sounds take effect.
Anita is a Gong Master Practitioner and Sound Healer.
She regularly facilitates private 1-2-1 and group sessions from her home space and at various locations around the South East of England.
