A Sound Healing Journey (June 22)

As a healer, you know that energy is the foundation of your well-being.

When energy flows freely through your body, when there are no blocks, when energy is aglow within you, then you feel alive.

Then you feel truly yourself.

But at other times, especially when life gets busy, you can lose your zest and zip.

Then, when your energy levels plummet, you may strain to connect to the higher aspect of your being that gives you clarity and a sense of ‘wholeness’.

Or sometimes life is already great, but you just want to explore more of who you are, to dive deeper into your spiritual journey.

Some years back, wanting to not only share more of what I'd learned as a healer but also to venture deeper into the wondrous world of healing myself, I started to teach my very own healing method, Chi Activation.

To help me and my students connect even more strongly to the energy frequencies we were using, I looked for tools to help our explorations.

It was then that, by chance, I reconnected with healer and musical maestro Chris Doria.

He'd actually taken one of my Reiki classes a year or so earlier, and we got talking, one thing led to another, and soon he was composing music to accompany the activations in my classes (they are the Chi Activation equivalent of attunements).

We worked together for a couple of months to get them just right, and I was blown away by how powerful they were when I first used them in my classes.

So were my students.

Chris is that rare combination of person who not only gets 'energy' on a deep level, but also has a profound connection to music and the skill to translate this into compositions that take listeners on transformative journeys.

In fact, his music is the best I've ever used for my meditations – and that counts internationally famous composers.

Fast forward to my Reiki retreat at the start of this year, and for the first time ever, I invited a guest facilitator: Chris.

He held a sound healing session, and although I knew it was going to be good, even I was surprised by how powerful it was.

Better still, everyone raved about the session.

Using a collection of RARE musical instruments from all around the world, Chris took us on a journey that we could feel deep in our bodies.

A sound healing journey that cleansed and uplifted.

At times, it was gentle.

At other times, it could even be harsh.

But if it was harsh, it was a good 'harsh'. It was the masseuse's fingers working on a knot in your shoulder.

It was a cleansing shower you needed to have.

Mostly, however, it was a journey. A journey where the music transported us to places that were unique to each of us.

Afterwards, everyone kept asking when I'd work with Chris again, and now, many months later, I've finally put something into place.

On June 22 (7 pm to 9 pm), Chris will lead us on a journey of deep relaxation, emotional release, and spiritual expansion.

What Happens in a Sound Healing Session?

First, I'll guide you through a short meditation to help you quiet your mind and tune into your body.

Then, for the rest of the night, Chris will take over, and you'll be bathed in the healing vibrations of a collection of instruments, many of which you will have never seen before.

This will create a soothing soundscape that will help melt away tension and stress and begin to heal you on a cellular level.

As you sink deeper into relaxation, you may find yourself drifting into a state of expanded awareness, where insights and intuitions bubble up from your unconscious.

Or you might lose track of the world around you.

So much can happen in a sound healing session, and it is different for everyone.

By the end of the session, you'll typically emerge feeling refreshed, renewed, and more in tune with yourself.

The Many Benefits of Sound Healing

Studies have shown that the vibrations created by sound healing can:

• Calm your mind and promote deep relaxation
• Harmonize your emotions and create a sense of inner peace
• Deepen the connection between your mind and body
• Amplify your spiritual awareness and soul connection
• Help release stored traumas and emotional blockages
• Balance and align your body's energy centres
• Clear energetic blockages for better overall health
• Boost your immune system and promote physical healing
• Encourage cellular regeneration and detoxification

In other words, sound healing works on every level of your being – mind, body, and spirit – to create profound and lasting transformation.

More on Chris

Chris has travelled around the world.

And, among other things, he has had much success as a DJ.

But over time, he has been drawn back to music that heals a deep level.

To music that helps you connect to your Higher Self.

To the essence of who you are.

So his love is to facilitate this journey of self-exploration through music.

This is his passion, and it shows in the work he does.

It lends his work a genuineness that is often lost today.

It gives it depth.

And it’s why I’m so excited to invite him to share his gifts with the world of Om Reiki.
