We know sound and vibration have the power to shift and change the energy in the physical body, And that vibration comes in many forms, including frequencies.
​
Resonance - “it resonates with you” - or the vibration may not match your own body which we call "Dissonance".
Let Elizabeth surround you with sound that heals Body, Mind & Heart.
Sound healing operates on the principle that sound vibrations can influence the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a person, promoting overall well-being. The practice draws on the understanding that everything in the universe is in a constant state of vibration, and each cell, organ, and tissue in the body has its own vibrational frequency. Here's how sound healing typically works: Resonance and Frequency: Vibrational Match: The human body is composed of various frequencies. When exposed to external frequencies through sound, the body tends to absorb and resonate with those vibrations. Harmonic Resonance: The concept of harmonic resonance suggests that if an object is vibrating at a particular frequency and another object with the same or similar frequency is nearby, the second object will start to vibrate in response. In sound healing, practitioners aim to induce harmonic resonance within the body. Instruments and Techniques: Tuning Forks: Tuning forks produce pure tones and are often used to apply specific frequencies to different parts of the body. Crystal Bowls: Crystal bowls emit pure, resonant tones that correspond to different chakras or energy centers in the body. Tibetan Singing Bowls: These bowls produce a complex harmonic spectrum of sound, believed to have therapeutic effects on the body and mind. Gongs, Chimes, and Drums: Various instruments create a symphony of sounds, each contributing to the overall healing experience. Energy Centers (Chakras): Chakra Alignment: Sound healing often focuses on the body's energy centers, known as chakras. Each chakra is associated with a specific frequency, and the use of sound aims to bring these energy centers into balance. Energy Flow: The vibrational frequencies from sound instruments help remove energy blockages within the chakras, facilitating a smoother flow of energy throughout the body. Relaxation and Stress Reduction: Activation of Relaxation Response: The soothing and harmonious sounds produced during a sound healing session can induce the relaxation response in the nervous system. Stress Reduction: As the body enters a state of deep relaxation, stress levels decrease, promoting a sense of calm and well-being. Mind-Body Connection: Brainwave Entrainment: Certain frequencies produced during sound healing sessions can influence brainwave patterns. This process, known as brainwave entrainment, can lead to altered states of consciousness, enhanced meditation, and increased mental clarity. Personalized Experience: Individualized Approach: I tailor sessions to the individual needs and preferences of participants, creating a personalized and therapeutic experience. While the scientific understanding of the mechanisms behind sound healing is still evolving, many people report positive effects such as reduced stress, improved mood, and a greater sense of overall well-being after engaging in sound healing practices. It's important to note that sound healing is often used as a complementary approach and should not replace conventional medical treatment when necessary.

Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra, often referred to as "yogic sleep" or "dynamic sleep," is a powerful relaxation and meditation technique that originated from ancient yogic practices. The term "Yoga Nidra" is derived from two Sanskrit words: "yoga," meaning union or integration, and "nidra," meaning sleep. Despite the name, Yoga Nidra is not about falling asleep; rather, it is a state of conscious relaxation that allows the practitioner to access a state between wakefulness and sleep. Here are some key aspects and benefits of Yoga Nidra: Deep Relaxation, Stress Reduction, Improved Sleep, Enhanced Awareness, Strengthened Immune System, Mind-Body Connection, Emotional Healing, Increased Creativity and Concentration, Balanced Nervous System, Spiritual Growth and their description details below: Deep Relaxation: The primary goal of Yoga Nidra is to induce a profound state of relaxation. The practice involves systematic and guided relaxation techniques that help release physical, mental, and emotional tension. Stress Reduction: By promoting relaxation, Yoga Nidra helps reduce stress and anxiety. The practice activates the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to a relaxation response that counteracts the effects of the sympathetic nervous system (responsible for the "fight or flight" response). Improved Sleep: Regular practice of Yoga Nidra is known to enhance the quality of sleep. It can be particularly beneficial for those dealing with insomnia or other sleep disorders. Enhanced Awareness: While in the state of Yoga Nidra, practitioners remain conscious and aware. This heightened awareness allows for a deep exploration of thoughts, emotions, and sensations, fostering self-awareness and self-discovery. Strengthened Immune System: The relaxation response triggered by Yoga Nidra positively impacts the immune system. Chronic stress can weaken the immune system, and by reducing stress, Yoga Nidra may contribute to overall immune system health. Mind-Body Connection: Yoga Nidra emphasizes the connection between the mind and body. As practitioners learn to observe thoughts and sensations without attachment, they may develop a greater sense of inner balance and well-being. Emotional Healing: The practice provides a space for processing and releasing emotions. It can be a helpful tool for individuals dealing with trauma, grief, or emotional challenges. Increased Creativity and Concentration: Regular practice of Yoga Nidra has been associated with improved cognitive function, including enhanced creativity and concentration. Balanced Nervous System: Yoga Nidra helps balance the autonomic nervous system, promoting overall nervous system health. This balance can contribute to a sense of calmness and resilience in the face of life's challenges. Spiritual Growth: Some practitioners find that Yoga Nidra facilitates a deep connection with their spiritual aspects, providing a path for personal and spiritual growth. Yoga Nidra is accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels, and it can be practiced by individuals seeking relaxation, stress relief, or spiritual exploration. It is often used in various settings, including yoga studios, wellness centers, and therapeutic settings.
While studying and teaching in India Elizabeth learned of and fell in love with, the ancient art of Yoga Nidra. This powerful yet simple practice can be the catalyst for changing habits, minds, and futures.
“The sound of the singing bowl touches our innermost soul and brings it into vibration. The sound breaks the tension, mobilizes self-healing forces, and sets free creative energies.”
