Dear Yogis:
We are excited to host Mark Torgesen again next Sunday for sound healing. I would like to offer some thoughts about the science and benefits of this kind of holistic healing. Everything in the universe vibrates in a constant state of vibration, including our bodies. These vibrations affect us on a cellular level, impacting the brain, nerves, muscles, and organs. Sara Auster, another sound healer, writes that "sound healing is an invitation into a deeper state of consciousness, where you unplug from external stimuli and focus on what's going on within you." But how does this happen?
Our bodies are approximately 60% water, and water is an excellent medium for sound waves. The density and molecular structure of water allow sound waves to resonate profoundly as the molecules can absorb a wide variety of frequencies. This interaction can stimulate cellular movement of energy within the body. This resonance can create harmonious patterns in the water molecules in our bodies, which influence mental, emotional, and physical states. (casadhotyoga.com)
We have all reacted to the sound of nails on a chalkboard or a loud crash. These are neural, physiological and biochemical reactions that sync the mind/body to the vibrations of the sound. A sound bath channels this power for relaxation and healing, the brain waves calm and lead to slower breathing, lower heart rate, and lower blood pressure. Finally, the immune system becomes more efficient by reducing stress hormones and releasing feel-good chemicals in the brain.
Mark will play his harps, singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, chimes and bells, drums and rattles. Depending on the frequency, each of these may ground energy, align chakras, clear energetic blockages, or maybe even take you to an altered state. Former attendees to Mark's workshops have related sensations of warmth and tingling, emotional releases, both tears and laughter, feelings of floating or deep physical heaviness, and feelings of inner peace, insight and clarity.
Kundalini resumes next Saturday at 10am. Feel free to drop-in and see if it's a practice that works for you. The fee is $25. The next ball therapy session is the first Saturday in April.
