Healing Fibromyalgia: Sound Healing for Fibro
Emotional stress the body is a major contributing factor to the symptoms of Fibromyalgia.
But did you know? Sound baths help process long-held emotional stress through activation of the amygdala, the part of the brain that processes emotions.
That processing, alongside the gentle vibrational waves from the bowls moving through the water body, help shift emotions held in the body for them to be processed by the brain. Once processed, the emotion can leave the body, giving it a gentle ‘wash’ everytime you attend. Perfect for short term and long term emotions held within the system.
Sound healing also helps train the brain to move between states of alpha, beta, theta and delta, to be able to exercise your nervous system and improve awareness of the different states available to you, outside of the sympathetic nervous system. Re-introducing what it feels like to be present and aware but in a relaxed and focussed state, rather than in freeze and fawn states which are often experienced.
Sound healing works by reconnecting you back to your body, promoting deep rest, helping release stuck emotions (sometimes from many, many years ago!), and creating a safe space for the body to begin healing itself...
Because our bodies are clever, and they are set up to self heal. We just have forgotten how to do it <3
Fibromyalgia - often bought on by excessive amounts of stress, being overcome by life challenges or feeling unloved or unwanted. It triggers the body to ‘close off’ to protect itself, and needs to be greeted with rest, emotional processing of the event and love and care. You do not need to fight anymore, but your body is still stuck in patterns of fighting, trying to protect you.
Our emotions, traumas and beliefs shape our reality. And our reality shapes our beliefs. It can be a catch 22, which is why most people need a pattern breaker to enter their lives. Someone to listen, acknowledge, witness and repair your sense of self. Sometimes we really need a safe space to be able to talk these things through and release them in a supportive, non judgemental environment.
Women are disproportionately affected by fibromyalgia. Feeling like they need to hold it all together, and their body takes the brunt. Sound healing is a safe way to explore these emotions that have been stored for many years as you reconnect back with the wisdom of your body and what it’s been screaming at you to acknowledge.
Benefits of Sound Healing for Fibromyalgia
Space to reflect and process the emotional tide and triggers that led to the development of the condition, releasing frustration, anger and overwhelm that led to your diagnosis
Reduced inflammation in the body through access to different brainwave states, taking the body into a self healing state
Improves sleep health to help the body self-heal and repair
Emotional processing to release held trauma in the body
Vibrational healing through sound and frequency to return the body to optimal tuning (just like an instrument!)
Increased self awareness to understand and appreciate your body and tap into self healing practices such as belief coding and deep relaxation
What happens in a session?
Each session is completely tailored to you and your condition. Generally, we begin with a chat over a drink to assess how you’re feeling, where you’re at, and what your intention is for the session.
We will then discuss the importance of understanding our emotional state and emotional stories or traumas when dealing with the condition you’re experiencing. For example we might self love and body trust practices, as well as deeply understanding our nervous system and when we flick between different states. We will then putt simple techniques in place to help start changing core beliefs.
From there you will enjoy guided meditation to connect back to the wisdom of your body and tune in to what it needs from you today. We will then develop a meditation using the healing rays or inner child exploration to release patterns keeping you stuck on your healing journey.
You will then be invited to make yourself comfortable and cosy as the session is then all about receiving. Receiving crystalline sound and harmonies from the voice to deeply relax and rest the body to aid self healing and reset your sleep patterns.
The session lasts approximately 1 hour, costs £65, and can be used ad hoc or booked regularly... it’s completely up to you.
Who is it beneficial for?
Anyone suffering with fibromyalgia who is looking to improve their knowledge of emotional triggers for their condition, take a proactive approach to their health and reconnect back with their body when they perhaps feel like it’s letting them down.
Where does the session take place?
Most sessions take place at your home (I travel across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire), but I also have access to rooms in Mansfield Woodhouse and Vale of Belvoir. I will advertise these when I have the dates each month.
