III Sound Healing Meditation
Cypress Health Institute Sound Healing Program What is Sound Healing?
Sound Healing is the use of, and exposure to, sounds from all types of sources. The science of Cymatics has proven the effects of sound influence on matter. Through the universal laws of vibration and resonance, sound can stimulate shifts of consciousness and influence physical structures and tissues. Vibrational instruments can stimulate changes in mental, emotional, physical and spiritual states. This can often lead to reversals of conditions and a clearing of energy blocks, that might restrict the flow of life-force energy and information.
At Cypress Health Institute our emphasis is on the use of sound and the use of vibration instruments for physical, emotional, and energetic healing. Our primary mode of treatment and application is with the use of tuning forks, though other methodologies will be explored.
In Thai massage the therapist puts you through a series of stretches that cover the entire body. … Thai massage also includes deep-pressure point work to stimulate the sen, or the body’s energy pathways. Long considered a medical treatment in Thailand.
