Holistic health is an approach to wellness that considers the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – in the pursuit of optimal health and wellness. Unlike conventional medicine, which often focuses on treating symptoms and diseases, holistic health aims to address the root causes of health issues and promote overall well-being.

Emotional releases are an important and normal part of the treatment and healing process. However, they are often the thing we fear the most. How can our emotions help us to heal?

When trying to describe what happens during and after a Cranio-Sacral Therapy or Sound Healing session, I often tell people they may experience emotional releases. Before I can finish saying this is a normal part of the healing process, I can see people recoiling in horror. While it is not my intention to make my client’s cry or experience feelings of anger, these emotions are valid and when not expressed, can manifest in seemingly unrelated situations, or in physical patterns such as jaw clenching or digestive disturbances. Emotional releases can be incredibly insightful and help us to better understand patterns of behaviour that prevent us from moving forward with our relationships or goals.

Sound healing is the ability of sound to heal elements of ourselves that are in imbalance. Discover what to expect from a Sound Healing session.

Sound healing is the ability of sound to heal elements of ourselves that are in imbalance. Sound healing dates back to prehistoric times. In ancient mystery schools of Egypt, Greece and India, the use of sound and music for healing was a highly developed sacred science (Goldman and Sims 2015). Many instruments or tools can be used in sound healing, including the voice, through toning or chanting, to balance the physical body, chakras and subtle bodies (Andrews 1992). In a therapeutic setting, a practitioner works with a client to address physical and emotional issues and helps to facilitate healing.

How does Sound Healing work?
The Big Bang Theory suggests that 13.8 billion years ago, the universe started from a singularity, then expanded to become the cosmos we know today. Despite its name, scientists suggest that the “Big Bang” was in fact silent as the early universe was too energetically dense and there was no recognisable matter as we know it to allow sound to be propagated. Over the next 380,000 years, as the universe continued to expand and cool forming galaxies, and primordial sound waves were formed. Primordial sound would likely have been a very powerful but low frequency. Around 4.6 billion years ago when the Earth is thought to have been formed, there was an abundance of sound. The earth surface cooled, the rains fell forming oceans and creatures evolved.
