Ever wondered if an active mind means you’re not getting the most out of your sound healing session?
I’ve recently had several enquries from clients that their physical or mental state during Sound Healing might impact the effectiveness of their experience.
The good news is that the state of your body or mind does not reflect the depth of your healing.
Whether you find yourself drifting off to sleep, feeling restless, or the mind continues to stay active, you are still receiving valuable benefits.
Falling Asleep: If you fall asleep during a session, don’t worry—your body is still absorbing the healing frequencies, even if you’re not consciously aware of them. Sleep allows your mind and body to deeply integrate the healing vibrations promoting a deep restoration.
Feeling Restless/ Fidgety: These sensations can indicate that your body is processing and releasing tension. This is a natural part of the healing process, clearing out blockages to attain a healthier balance.
Busy Mind: Sometimes, as you seek stillness, your mind may become more active. This often indicates that your body is unaccustomed to relaxation after a long period of busyness. Rest assured, you are still receiving healing benefits. Sound vibrations tend to reach areas where they are needed most, including your mind. Just as a massage might intensify discomfort in sore muscles before easing, a busy mind may feel restless during sound healing, but the benefits will become evident over time.
Feeling Emotional: It’s also common to experience emotions during a session. This can be a sign that deep-seated feelings are being processed and released which may lead to fidgeteness and restlessness. Think of it like a massage where discomfort may occur before relief is felt. It is a part of the healing process and it will pass.
A busy mind does not mean you miss Sound Healing benefits.
What to do about it?
Embrace whatever experience comes your way, knowing that each moment contributes to your overall well-being. Allow yourself to drift off to sleep and enjoy a well-deserved rest.
There’s no need to force anything.
Instead…
1) Stay connected to your breaths by feeling it, listening to it, and/or counting it.
2) Feel what is without judgement (without labelling it good or bad.)
3) Follow what your body is calling for; you can always move, stretch, change your posture, or have a drink of water anytime.
4) Taking a few deep breaths can help the process.
4) Avoid judging your session based on the state of your body/mind.
Each experience is a valuable part of your healing.
