SOUND RELAXATION

Sound relaxation in whichever form can remove stress and blockades and have a soothing, relaxing and healing effect on both body and mind. The latter are interconnected and have a strong influence on each other. According to each individual’s personal attitude and experience, sounds and vibrations may be perceived in different ways: one may relax instantly while the other falls asleep. Some people remain alert during the session, wanting to know what is happening around them, while others can only distinguish the sounds which are being produced and let themselves ‘float’ and be taken on a spiritual journey of dreams and visions. Sound relaxation is above all a personal experience which does not follow any prescription or rules.

INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE

‘Sound Wave’ sound relaxation:

You you can lie comfortably on your back or belly on the ‘sound wave bench’ (see the illustration) while the sound tones and oscillations of the built-in string instruments of the bench relax you. Tibetan bowl overtones or vocal sounds can be added. Ideally, treatment on the sound wave bench (listen) can be preceded by a relaxing back - or chair massage.

Sound meditation:

Here the focus lies on listening to specific sounds which are played after a short introduction on breathing techniques. Sound meditation is perfect to train your mental alertness and concentration.

Breathing meditation:

Here you learn how to concentrate on your breathing (abdominal breathing in particular), or on a specific part of your body. We can for instance breathe along a certain pace or natural rhythm. After a while, it will enable you to recognize and track certain tensions in your body and/or mind, control, lighten them and eventually dissolve these tensions, thus achieving a state of relaxation and mental peace.

GROUP EVENT

‘Dreamtime’ sound concert: A healthy mix of sound, dream and breathing meditation, inspired by Aboriginal ‘dreamtime’ experiences where, while lying down or sitting upright, you let yourself be taken on a sound trip created by sound vibrations as well as your own breathing.

According to each individual’s age, personal attitude and experience, sounds and vibrations may be perceived in different ways. Moreover each listener produces his own ‘music’ and exchanges these sounds and vibrations with the musician. Participating in a dreamtime session is above all a personal experience which does not follow any prescription or rules. The sounds and vibrations are created with exotic instruments, sound bowls, overtones and natural voice singing.

Sound relaxation, sound – and breathing meditation sessions as well as dreamtime concerts can be organized at your own home, at school, or at work.
