Because the body is over 60% water, it responds beautifully to resonant Sound. like ripples in a pond. Feel the sound vibrating deep into your tissue— give yourself a personal sound bath every day!
Tonia’s story… When I first learned medicine songs in 1990, I began singing them while hiking. As I walked, I would sing, “Mother, I feel you under my feet…” Singing and acknowledging the Earth with each step helped to solidify my relationship with nature. Now I use them daily to pray and wash worry away.
In 2001, I experienced how crystal bowls create vibrations that gently open our inner systems, clearing the energy body. I now use crystal bowls to cleanse my home and body and connect me to spirit.
Over time, I learned that sound can also carry intention. When we sing, tone, or play instruments with intention, we can amplify our prayers and send our intentions out into the world. Sharing these practices is one of my greatest joys.
These days, I often tone in the car as a simple way to reset, get centered, and arrive clear and ready to teach. I hum when I’m frantic and rushed to calm my nervous system. I sing medicine songs to invoke change and the best possible outcome to manifest. I sing and sometimes scream affirmations when fear loops run in my head. I offer a song of gratitude to water every time bath or wash dishes. I can’t wait to share these practical uses of sound with you.
Held at the Nature Healing retreat, Santa Rosa, May 30th from 9:00-12:00
We have been instructed by elders and medicine people to “Dream a Bigger Dream!” To do this, we must clear out our limiting beliefs. Sound is a great remover of blocks in the system. It has been utilized in every religious tradition and helps us connect directly to spirit. Step outside the box with me – sound is a fascinating playground!
Sound healing is a cornerstone in the Body Journey Massage Experience and School.
Monthly, Tonia leads the Sonic Alchemy Sound as Medicine Prayer Circle, where we use sound to amplify prayers. Here is one of her prayers…
I see a world of people singing enthusiastically to the trees, mountains, and clouds.
I feel the clouds, trees, and mountains hugging the people back. I imagine the spirit of the mountain drinking in the song as love and smiling gratitude.
I hear circle songs radiating joy across the land. I imagine wild animals coming out to listen and their relationship with people getting healed.
I know with all my heart that if we can imagine it – we can create it – And if enough of us imagine a Bigger Dream, we can call it into existence!
It is spiritual activism to turn away from what is being fed to us and put our precious attention on what WE WANT to create.
