Infusing a Sound Bath with Your Magic

After a year of sound healing professionally, I found myself in an interesting spot. I had multiple weekly standing sound baths and multiple sold-out workshops, and yet I didn’t feel like I was sharing my full self with my participants.

What was the issue? I was having an inner battle of intuition and spirituality in (what I thought was) a competition with my scientifically proven sound healing methods.

I was playing every bowl for the proper amount of time to induce optimal brainwave changes for cellular regeneration. I was leading people in breathing practices proven to induce relaxation, but there was something that wanted to come through me straight from the heavens to my soul, but I had no idea how to measure how it would actually help people. That thing was sacred and channeled song.

I wanted to sing during my sound baths, and the inability to measure how helpful it was, combined with the fear of baring my soul, was holding me back.

To cut to the happy ending, I now often sing during sound baths, including soul-ed out Channeled Song sound baths, and here’s how I made the leap. I’d like you to keep reading even if singing isn't the thing that’s nagging at you to come through. This could be for people who feel compelled to interweave astrology into their experience or pull a tarot or oracle card for the sound bath and incorporate that. Perhaps you would like to lead a guided meditation or recite positive affirmations at the end of your sound bath. There are so many ways your personal magic can enrich a sound healing experience. I mention the previous examples because I have done them all in tandem with sound baths. I know there are more out there, too! Ones that you are waiting to share with the world.

Since my concern was messing with the science of sound healing, I only introduce my sacred song during the parts of a sound bath when additional sounds (whether they are my voice or not) are conducive to healing. I also leave room for blessings, trust, spirit, and the hope that my song will help and reach the people it’s meant for. If you truly have a unique gift, it’s meant to be shared. It cannot help make the world a better place when it’s kept to yourself - point blank. I hold the notion that I must trust this fact, and I mustn’t be so fearful, selfish, self-centered, and precious with my gift. Additionally, this attitude helps me overcome the stage fright I’ve battled with my whole life.

Let this article be the sign for you to go for it. Goddess knows you’ve probably already thought a lot about it. In my case, it became a success and a signature offering. My singing is now something my sound bath participants comment on as a beautiful and enriching part of their sound-healing experience.
