THE POWER OF SOUND CRYSTAL ALCHEMIES

“Many say that life entered the human body by the help of music, but the truth is that life itself is music.” – Hafiz

Sound entrainment is rooted in science. It holds a profound place in the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, energetic, and mystical planes. Let’s take a deeper dive into this phenomenon.

Sound is Creation. Sound is Energy. Sound is Vibration.

What we hear, feel, and perceive through the ear, skin, and bones is vibration. Every atom, cell, molecule, gland, and organ absorbs and emits sound. Made from 99.99% pure quartz and ethically alchemised with precious gemstones, rare metals, minerals, rare earths, musical notes, geometry, colour, and alchemy by Crystal Tones™, the crystal bowls amplify, transmit, and store energy. When the mallet chimes the crystal bowl or moves around its rim or upper third, the sides of the bowl move back and forth, creating a vibration. These vibrations, or sound waves, permeate the body, identifying dissonance, stress, and anxiety.

The pure sound harmonics of alchemy crystal bowls attune to the fundamental vibrations (or notes) of the billions of cells in the body. Sound massages the cells, making them more vibrant and vital. Scientific evidence has shown dramatic changes in the colour, shape, and surrounding auric field when soft, gentle, and harmonious acoustic sounds are played.

Our cells respond to particular notes, and sound harmonises the frequencies so that, after several minute intervals, the body, mind, heart, and belly begin to dive into deeper states of consciousness, enabling profound healing across the nervous system.

Modern scientists and doctors integrate sound vibration from crystal and Himalayan bowls as a holistic alternative and healing pathway for treating patients. It is safe and non-invasive, clearing disturbances within the energy field to bring release, balance, and harmony to the electromagnetic field. The intention is to enhance and stimulate the mind and the body’s ability to heal itself. Dopamine levels increase while cortisol decreases, stimulating the production and number of white blood cells to strengthen the immune system.

“Every experience is unique to the individual and will differ with every sound journey. You simply need to arrive as you are because the bowls will meet you exactly where you are. The healing is there if you are open to it .”

My workshops have been described as ‘an intimate journey with the Self.’ They begin with movement meditation to open the physical body, followed by breathwork to balance the nervous, mental, and emotional systems before leading into a guided meditation and deep yoga nidra sleep.

Open, expansive, and fully receptive to the magic and power of sound, I weave a soundscape of vibrations with my harmonic set of nine Crystal Tones™ Alchemy Sound Bowls, Crystal Pyramid, and Koshi Elemental Chimes.

Sound journeys are relaxing, meditative, and harmonising, moving energy exactly where it needs to reach, change, or heal. Sound is a powerful healer, shifting and unraveling clarity around thoughts or emotions that may feel stuck. Sometimes, it reveals answers to questions we didn’t even realise we were asking. However, the experience may not always be comfortable and may involve an old injury, memory, or experience resurfacing. Trust that if you are receiving the gift of sound, it is because you are meant to be in that moment to receive its magic. You may not always realise it at the time, but it will later unfold and manifest in unexplainable ways—the mystery in the mysticism. T he benefits of sound therapy are profound. These bowls are truly unique pieces of sound art, loved by musicians, yogis, teachers, healers, meditators, and people from all walks of life.

So, what happens at a Sound Journey workshop?

I hold space for students in my unique and authentic workshops, regularly hosted at Yoga Life Studio in Eastbourne as well as in London. My Sound Journey workshops open our senses to receive the magic of sound through every cell in our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies. We start with a gentle yoga practice to open the physical body, followed by a pranayama practice to balance the nervous, mental, and emotional systems before leading into a guided meditation, opening the channels of our spiritual self. We embody the tools to become receptive to the magic of sound.

I then immerse you in a sound journey, weaving a soundscape of vibrations with my Crystal Alchemy Sound Bowls, Crystal Pyramid, and Koshi Elemental Chimes. Sound is Creation. Sound is Energy. Sound is Vibration. Creation, energy, and vibration are the pulsations of Spanda in the traditions of Tantra in Yoga—the contraction and expansion of everything around and within us. Syncopating with the pulse of life, the magic of sound moves energy exactly where it needs to reach, change, or heal.

Sound is a powerful healer, shifting, unraveling, or bringing clarity to thoughts or emotions that may feel stuck, or expanding our awareness into a deeper knowing and consciousness. Nourishing and nurturing a state of deep relaxation, the alchemy sound bowls meet us exactly where we are. Alongside group workshops, I also offer private Crystal Sonic Therapy sessions for those seeking a more personalised healing experience.
