Hi Everyone
I hope you had a great weekend! I must say I had an amazing weekend filled with love/connection and service. I had the privilege to participate in my friend’s sound bath ceremony and experience the healing benefits to the nervous system. It felt nice to contribute to their healing journey by giving each of our guests a massage. .
A sound bath is a meditative practice where the teacher uses different instruments to promote different vibrational sounds that massage the nervous system. Instruments like crystals, singing bowls, chimes, tuning forks, etc… The teacher, a.k.a. My friend Jessica also took them through a meditative process to help enhance their state of wellbeing. It was such a magical and powerful experience! I Highly recommend it.
It was so beautiful to see different walks of life come together and share the same space. A place where they felt safe and open to receive healing!
I must say I am super grateful that these types of spiritual practices have become more mainstream where people are open to trying new things that will help them feel good.
All this to say that you can use this practice whenever you feel stressed or anxious.
One of the most simple, yet effective ways you can do this is through humming or singing as the vagus nerve is located near the vocal cords.
The vibrational sounds of humming massages the vagus nerves which activates a parasympathetic response (rest/digest).
Many people chant OM in their meditation practice to help calm the nervous system. It is such a wonderful way for the nervous system to build resilience to external stressors.
I sure love using it in my meditation or at the end of a yoga class because I do feel a calming sensation in my nervous system.
It’s just nice to have different tools including sound bath and/or humming to enhance our state of wellbeing. It is such a beautiful gift we can give ourselves!
I hope this blog post serves you well. If you feel this would benefit anyone you know/love, please spread the love by sharing this blog post
Have yourself a good vibrational week and I look forward to serving you again next Monday
Take care
Your Health Coach
