Claims about healing frequencies and chakras are common in sound practice. Here is how to enjoy the experience for relaxation while keeping claims in perspective.
Browse sound-healing websites and you will find charts matching particular hertz values to chakras, organs or emotions. These links belong to the belief systems of certain practices. They are interesting to read about, but they should not be presented as evidence that a tone can repair tissue, act on an organ or resolve a mental health condition.
None of this means sound has no place in a calming routine. Plenty of people simply love lying back while bowls or chimes ring around them, in much the same way they enjoy a slow massage. Here, sound is offered purely as a way to rest and feel at ease, never as a medical intervention.
Before you begin, ask Dr Christine Shen, Acupuncturist, what she intends for your session and how it will unfold. Tell her what you like: deep or bright tones, steady or changing rhythms, more or less silence. You should be able to enjoy the experience fully without having to accept a particular energy theory, and Christine will not ask you to.
No particular feeling is expected. You may relax deeply, notice restlessness or simply listen, and all of those are fine. Moving or opening your eyes does not spoil anything.
If you are dealing with an ongoing physical or emotional difficulty, talk about it separately so the right kind of care can be discussed, including psychotherapy or a referral to your GP. A sound session is a pleasant pause, not a medical intervention.
If a frequency chart has caught your eye online, feel free to bring it to the Lane Cove clinic as a talking point; Christine can explain where such ideas come from while you choose the sounds you actually enjoy.
