Good Vibration (Asia Spa. 2013 Jan/Feb)


Extract from the article: Good Vibrations (Asia Spa. 2013 Jan/Feb Edition)

The healing effects of sound are not just some New Age claim, scientists and medical professionals have studied the effects with impressive findings. Medical research worldwide has discovered numerous physiological benefits of sound healing, including its ability to increase immune functioning and the brain waves associated with relaxation; lower blood pressure, heart rate, and stress -related hormones; and release of endorphins that
work as natural pain relievers.

An emerging field of sound healing uses tuning forks and according to Hong Kong-based Allpamama Healing Circle therapists, Man-tung Tsang and Wai-yi Tsang, is so precise on the subtle energy anatomy that it is akin to acupuncture. Using SomaEnergetics Tuning Forks, the chakras are activated and cleared, using six forks of different pitches, with the seventh or crown chakra receiving the vibrational frequency of all six forks. Energy is raised up the body’s energy channels by the highpitched forks, while low-pitched forks ground the energy to earth. Resonating with the primordial sound, the ‘Om fork’ centres, clears and balances when placed on the body and acupuncture points. The first to introduce SomaEnergetics healing to Asia, Tsang awes spectators at his sound healing performances with the exquisite beauty of his movements and the healing benefits of his instruments.......


Good Vibrations (Full article)

If you live in a city, the near constancy of sounds of every kind can leave you frazzled and longing for the precious moments that offer silence and peace. While our reactions may vary depending on our mood and preferences, there is no doubt that sound has a profoundly powerful effect on our entire being. We can be at oncesoothed by the voice of a loved one, our favourite music and the sound of nature; and then instantly agitated by a loud voice, startling noise or unpleasant music.

......Sound as a healing tool may seem fairly new, but prehistoric instruments like drums and rattles are likely evidence of sound healing in early recorded history. Sound healing practices can be found, but not limited to, Buddhists, Sufis, Native Americans, Hindus, Shamans and Catholic monks, and they all recognise that like nature, the human body also seeks harmony. Shifting our perception to the dynamics of energy around and within us can be challenging, however sound vibration has the ability to bypass the ‘how to’ of our rational thinking mind and clear energetic pathways within our body without us even knowing it. This allows us to access positive thoughts, emotions and ways of being in the world with more ease.......

......In a world dominated by spoken language, the art of listening and sound vibration are so powerful that sound healers from traditions around the world profess it can not only transform and heal ourselves, but also the world. This sentiment is echoed by sound healer and writer, Jonathan Goldman, who believes the principles of sound healing lie in “frequency + intent (love) = healing”. So whether you are drawn to ancient or modern traditions of sound healing, one thing is for sure – you will expand in awareness and hear the world, as you never did before.
