More about Sound of Being
Sound of Being is a modality developed by Sound Healing Australia and is recognised by the International Institute for Complimentary Therapists. It combines meditation, breathwork and sound therapy, using the organic world of sound and vibration to support returning to a state of emotional, physical and energetic balance. It draws upon traditions and teachings from across the world and provides a beautiful opportunity to connect with a state of ‘Being’ rather than ‘Doing’.
The external sounds from a range of instruments are used to help in dropping quickly into a state of deep relaxation, nourishing the nervous system.
Sound Healing benefits:
- Supports coming quickly into a state of mindfulness and deep relaxation, nourishing our nervous system.
- Provides breathwork and meditation tools to use in your everyday life to support your health and wellbeing.
- Reduces indications of stress in the body, supporting physical health.
- Facilitates balance on a physical, emotional, mental and energetic level.
- Provides an opportunity for inner contemplation that can increase connection with ourselves and others.
- Supports the integration of left and right hemispheres of the brain, which can help with more focused, clear thinking and emotional regulation.
