Everything in existance is a vibration. Be it solid, liquid or gaseous, it differs only by its frequency measurement over a given period of time.
The rates of vibration vary from slow to rapid, some more measurable than others. Dense matter (Earth) having a slower ratio of vibration, than that of something composed of a lighter substance (Air) which will vibrate many times faster.
It is my belief that it is the application of appropiate vibrations, upon a person/ animal or an environment that is what we call ‘Sound Healing’.

Understanding that Sound Healing is the application of frequencies towards and upon an individual. It might be correct to catergorise it as a model of 'stimulus and response'.
The input being the tones of the Gong. Which are broadcast and recieved by the receipient. The Meridian, and Nervous networks provided with the signal to determine a response.The output signal which will trigger the physiological adjustment required.
The resulting 'response' signal promotes regenerative growth of the human organism. The nerve and Meridian networks, though interlinked, are self regulatory and independent of each other. The Meridian network precedes the development of the nervous system upon conception of the foetus.
The Meridians are a network of channels. Suggested as the connective gateway between the physical body and the higher energy 'subtle' bodies.
Vital life forces, often refered to as 'Chi' are recieved by the meridian network and flow accordingly throughout the numerous 'subtle' bodies and thus to the physical body.
Chi is suggested as entering the meridian network at specific points which are mapped about the physical body.
It can be difficult for some to appreciate and configure how the physical body, its subtle counterparts and the Meridian network can exist within the same space, with the fact that only the physical is visible.
One has to understand that each has a different frequency of vibration.
Therefore alike the many Radio and Television broadcasts that exist simultaneously, none are conflicting yet transit across each other.
The higher vibrational life forces that are recieved initially by the subtle bodies, eventually integrate into the physical body of flesh and bone.
This is enabled through the Chakras.
Chakras are suggested as energy gateways, transformers of the vital life force that is required. Requring no input it would appear an almost 'Autonomous' operation of energy regulation. However i have belief in the suggestion that emotional input from the individual's state of being easily influences the chakras. Our 'state of mind', personal thoughts and actions in daily life are capable of determining Chakra operation, signals which can enhance or impair.

With the input of Sound, which is the tone(s) of the Gong. As a Sound Healer it is my intention to energise the primary energy network. The physical body, and its components in turn will become energised because of the intimate relationship that exists. The mind, concious thought and subconcious patterns can be healed. Holistically it is possible to achieve personal transformation.

When we turn the key of a motor car to start it, we apply electrical voltage to its primary ignition circuit, which then energise's the secondary circuit. Resulting in a higher electrical charge which is capable of providing the spark required for the combustion of the fuel/ air mixture. There are indeed similarities between that of the deliverance of Sound Healing and the process involved in the recieving of. And that of the exitation of the motor vehicles ignition system to initiate combustion.
Both utilise magnetic forces to initiate the model of 'stimulus and response' suggested.
The nervous system is the micro-electrical network which transmits signals between cells.
Endorphin release is a beneficial response which is stimulated by the application of Sound healing. Endorphins are released from the Pituitary gland, which is interlinked via the Meridians with the Chakra network.
With this knowledge we can begin to understand the close relationship of, and how the physical and subtle bodies are so intimately connected and dependant upon each other.
Endorphin release promotes the alleviation of stress levels and pain relief. Relaxation is achievable and so too harmonious thought. Immune system regulation and maintainance is also another benefit to be gained.

I believe there is in existance a universal 'oscillation' of optimum health, permeating all. Alignment with this vibration is a possibility, and indeed occurs naturally for many individuals upon conception. Through the combination of positive thought, action, intuitive guidance and Sound Healing. Re-alignment towards the vibration of optimum health is attainable for those who seek it.

When harmony is introduced into our lives, then we can become harmonious in thought and action.The alignment with and attunement towards appropiate vibrations can assist us to heal ourselves.
Working with sound and music is not only the application towards the physical body, but as suggested we are working with and in harmony with the 'unseen self'.
The higher energy counterparts that we are composed of, commonly refered to as the 'subtle' bodies. Often thought upon as the 'Aura'.
Through life's experiences, we energise and strengthen the Aura and its multitude of layers, and so we can weaken and and allow the Aura to deteriorate.
Moments of euphoria and passion can inflate and broaden our Aura, and so equally moments of trauma can seemingly shatter and deflate us.
We can experience a feeling of alignment and being centered in our lives, then again we can experience the feeling of being out of syncronicity and out of balance with our direction in life and our emotions.

Sound, rhythm and tone can dissolve the barriers we create.
Negative thought and action can disuade, and delay the introduction of healing.Even if we do not conciously refuse the healing that is available, our inbuilt mental self defence mechanism will literally 'block' any application of healing.
Sound Healing is harmonious and rhythmic in its entirety.There are moments though that command the need for a less harmonious approach.
Where rhythm is not expressed, but sudden and harsh compositions where the healer will find themself striking the instrument(s) in a manner that would usually shock and possibly rouse a person from sleep.
Impulses though, needed in such a manner. Essential to the empowerment and effectiveness of the Sound Healing session.
This is where intuition plays the fundamental and is the foundation for knowing 'when to, and how to'.
The core of Sound Healing and the intergration of Shamanic technique with the aim of the removal of unwanted bundles of dis-harmonious energy.
Harmony is always present in the thought of the healer, imperative to the success and operation of the treatment. Intent of the healer and in the thoughts of the recipient as well play the greater part.
No greater element though than the power of rhythm and tone that is ever present in the healing enviroment, in that which we dwell, and so too that of naturally occuring phenomenom.
That which we find harmonious and appealing, is surely a healing frequency we can utilise for the promotion of better health.The ebb and flow of the ocean tides, the movement of meadow grass in the summer breeze.
Both possessing rhythm and tone, both are true songs of nature.
We may find also healing in the operation and movement of mechanised items.The oscillation of the cooling fan of a chilled vending machine.Its low frequency hypnotic rhythm inducing trance like states, likened to by a sensitive mind.
When we introduce the operation of entrainment we can surely find positive healing in such.

As Sound Healers we work with naturally occuring forces to effectively open doorways. Often closed tightly due to our own derogotory and negative attitudes and thoughts. We share the belief that the keys to opening these doors are the tones and rhythm of our compositions.
As we open these doors, the influx of universal healing energies is administered.
