Sally uses a process of Integral Sound Healing, bringing together a synthesis of elements which together can work to create great healing and change in people’s lives. These days so many people have busy lives, juggling family, work and social commitments and as a result, many people suffer from stress or anxiety which often leads to illness. In fact, The Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, USA reports that up to 90% of all doctors’ visits are linked with stress. In the vibratory state of our bodies and minds gets out of balance. There are many people who never get the opportunity to give their body and mind the deep rest that it needs. Integral sound healing is able to trigger a deep relaxation response, slowing down the brainwave state to the optimum level for the body and mind to heal itself and then the sounds can be targeted to work on the physical and the energetic body to bring these back into balance.
Sound healing is a subtle but powerful modality that can create deep and long-lasting positive change.
