The sound of healing love

I had the pleasure of experiencing a sound bath by Royce Vagnier. It transcended me into a beautiful, relaxing, and healing place. 

For many years I have dipped my toe in different realms of various healing modalities but had not yet experienced a Sound Bath. Quite honestly, I wasn’t sure what it was. I am somewhat familiar with crystal singing bowls, but to be in a safe environment and soak in the harmonious vibrations at one of his sessions was deeply magical and cleansing. Much like a deep meditation, I lie listening and feeling the vibrations of the bowls and I was quickly moved to a comforting zone feeling the stresses of my mind and body release. Royce not only is technically trained with the bowls but has a natural gift using his life experiences. His talents playing the bowls uniquely bring rebalance for holistic wellness.

 

I first experienced a singing bowl about 15 years ago while working with Nancy Lindgren to release compressed emotions around my heart.  At one session, she asked me if she could use a singing bowl tuned to the heart chakra. I consented, not really knowing what it would do. She began circling the bowl and I was immediately taken to a place of calm and wonder. I loved the sound I was hearing. I loved feeling the sound waves pulsing against my skin. I loved feeling the sound within my body. I was transported to a familiar and comfortable place – I felt at home and at peace with myself. Little did I know at that moment, that this healing experience would have a profound influence on the rest of my life.  

Fast forward to May 2022. My husband and I were visiting Sedona, Ariz. where we discovered an amazing singing bowl store. The store was closed, but the windows were filled with at least 200 singing bowls in every size, shape and color.  My heart jumped with joy at the sight – I wanted one. I would later learn that these were alchemy singing bowls – pure quarts bowls infused with semi-precious gemstones, minerals, and precious metals to enhance the healing properties. These bowls give the receiver the benefits of both the frequency and the alchemies.

Then in November, the next chapter in my journey began. The Universe guided me to my teacher Jeralyn Glass, a leader in the field of Sound Healing using Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls. Our shared background in instrumental and vocal music created an immediate bond.  

Sound healing is rooted in the concept that frequency + intention = healing.  Jeralyn taught me that I’m the primary instrument and the bowls are conscious instruments that transmit my intentions, my love, and my connection with Spirit, to the receivers. My training focused on connecting to my Higher Self and using sacred musical intervals to create a sacred space for healing.  

It will not surprise you that the first singing bowl I purchased was my heart chakra bowl. When asked how I wanted to choose my first bowl, I replied that I wanted to listen and choose the bowl that “felt right” to me. What I didn’t know at the time was that the heart bowl I chose was tuned to 528hz – the frequency of Universal Love (modern music is tuned to 440 hz). This high frequency, beautiful heart bowl sits in the center of my alchemy bowl collection.

The Signature Sound Baths I offer are a culmination of my life experiences thus far. As a strategist by profession, my analytical side loves finding the science to prove what ancient wisdom has taught us and what our Intuitive Self already knows.  My musical side loves creating beautiful chords based on sacred intervals for healing. And, my experience as a certified yoga teacher along with my personal healing journey opens me to curate a mix of healing modalities to include in my sound bath experiences.  

I believe that the combination of intentions, healing frequencies and the powerful alchemies of my bowls, create a multi-vitamin for the Soul. I’m grateful for this incredible journey. It has taught me that Intention + Frequency + Love = Enlivened Living.
