SOUND ADVICE FOR BEGINNERS
The greatest tools for sustaining health are all free. Breath, meditation and voice. Our body is a delicate instrument and in order to retain a healthy and vital state, we need to keep the systems tuned in to the right frequencies for harmonic resonance.
By sitting quietly in a state of meditation, focussing only on the sounds of the breath and simply observing the thoughts coming and going, we can switch our energy systems from the outward expression to the inner healing state.
Access To Healing Pathways
Activation of healing pathways stems from the release of stress. A state of healing bliss can be achieved very simply and quickly via the quietening of the mind through disconnection from the constant noises of our chattering thoughts and with attention on the breath as it rhythmically enters and leaves our body.
Focussing on the temporary moment between the in and out breath, we can find a point of stillness. This is where the illusionary world we believe is our lives and the real world of one-ness can be found. Connecting to this channel of universal energy, all positive energies that we require for healing, can be tuned into, much like a TV or radio station can be reached by tuning to the right frequencies.
This powerful channel for switching on our healing state of being, can be activated from any quiet place. There are no other tools required but the intention and wilful action. Make sure to find a comfortable seat, have warm, loose-fitting clothing on and ensure no interruptions can disrupt the healing process for a minimum length of time around 10 minutes.
To enhance the healing benefits of meditation, we can focus on feelings of gratitude, submission to and acceptance of relaxation, with an assured sense of peace for being at one with the world. With the added focus on meanings from mantas and affirmations spoken, we can program ourselves to the right frequencies. A combination of silence and sound, can all bring huge benefits, even in a very short time frame, within a limited space.
Repeat the following words in your mind or speak them out loud for greater self-assurance.
Affirmations: You are safe, you are free, you are ready to receive.
Confirmations: Life is good, life is easy, all great things come to me.
Belief & acceptance: Embody the feelings of gratitude that everything you need and deserve has already been created. Trust in the positive outcomes and be safe in the knowledge that they will all reveal themselves to you at the right time.
Tuning the body to receive
If we are using the voice only for tuning, start with the lowest note your voice can create.
Our grounding sound is ‘Uughhh’
Young people and animals make this 'Ungungung' sound to comfort themselves as babies. The sound is our baseline frequency – it’s deeply ingrained in us and can be drawn on at any point when we feel anxious, tired or afraid.
Tibetan and Mongolian monks use throat chants with a deep bass-resonant sound, which connects us back to the same grounding frequencies which babies and other animals use in the infrasonic range, to calm the nervous system and transmit information over longer distances.
A leading guru on using chakra sounds is Jonathon Goldman. His books on sound healing have inspired many to join the sound movement since the western world first embraced the benefits of Eastern holistic health from the 1980's and '90's.

The collection of 7 main vowel sounds can be used to ground the individual chakras of the individual. Our yogic teachings reveal each of the chakra energy sounds and the benefits of vibrating these sounds throughout the body to connect the chakras.
All of us will have slightly different base levels and may struggle to follow what Jonathon has created with a male voice. The best way to discover our unique operational frequencies, is to hum from the lowest sound up to the highest sound and feel each of the locations in our body vibrate at the chakra energy centres when we reach the right notes.
This downloadable pdf document explains in a clear to understand format how the 7 chakra vowel sounds can bring great benefits to everyone when this simple technique is practiced at the start and end of our day.
When the energy Nadis of the body have been negatively impacted through sustained periods of stress, the tones of harmony may have moved. Just as a guitar can be tuned from only one string, we can use the base frequency to work upwards with intuitive tuning, or for faster results, tuning forks can also be used instead.
Wah-Wah pipes (also called Kutiu Wapa), are great for playing with multiple tones by placing a finger over the hole in the tube, allowing for more of the solfeggio tones to express in an upward or downward fashion depending on if the tube is struck with hole open or closed off.
Mexican Musical Bola and Chime eggs/balls, are perfect etheric sound balancers for encouraging a meditative and relaxed state to activate at the beginning of a sound therapy session when periods of silence allow for the listener to focus more intently on the delicate sounds.
Hand chimes, come in a variety of sizes, with pentatonic expressions of both major and minor scales. These chimes and xylophones can play arpeggios of 3, 5 notes from a scale over multiple octaves. Chimes come in different keys – both major and minor.
Beginner kits can be purchased at reasonable prices from various online stores where bespoke crystal chimes, Hz specific wah-wahs, adaptable tuning forks with crystal adornments can be added for orgone power enhancements, plus incense burners and oil fragrances can complement the practitioner's sound offerings for enhanced sensory experiences.
Shamanic drums, rattles and rain sticks are a useful addition to any sound healer'ss kit. Ocean drums and authentically made beaters, rattle wands and other shakers, as well as flutes and shruti boxes, can help with journey work, regression and deeper meditation practices.
