Sound
NATURE & SOUND medicine come together
Earthen Yoga sound offerings are intentionally infused with calming nature soundscapes. The natural rhythms and inherantly soothing sounds in nature such as birdsong, rain and ocean waves can facilitate a deeper meditative experience and evoke a sense of connection to the boundless energy of Mother Earth.

Sound therapy (aka sound healing) is a form of vibrational medicine that blends modern science and ancient wisdom to reduce tension, restore balance, and support your body’s natural healing abilities. It does this in three main ways:
Relaxation response:
Soothing soundscapes, harmonies and massaging vibrations initiate a relaxation response in the nervous system, - epithelial cells release Nitric Oxide gas which triggers muscular relaxation throughout the body, heart rate and breathing is slowed, blood pressure is reduced and circulation is improved, and the mental emotional body is calmed - these physiological and energetic changes effectively reverse the effects of stress and support healing
Brain entrainment:
Specific rhythms, tempos and binaural tones (stimulating and integrating both hemispheres of the brain) create brainwave synchronization - leading you into a calm, dreamlike state of deep rest (yogic sleep), and a deeper connection to your unconsicuous mind and inner wisdom
Resonance:
Sound waves (energy) move through and synchronise the body at a cellular level - this increases blood and fluid circulation, reduces inflammation, reduces pain, and helps to clear energetic pathways and emotional blockages in a safe, heart-centered space
Disclaimer: there is scientific evidence to suport the healing benefits of sound /vibration, however every person has their own unique experience and will respond differently. Sound Therapy/healing is meant to compliment, not replace medical science, as part of a holistic healing system. If you have a medical condition it is always advised to consult a medical professional before receiving sound therapy.

The experience:
My collection of 6 Grotta Sonora Italian gongs are hand-made one-of-a-kind sacred instruments, as strikingly beautiful as they are potent. Each one is tuned to a fundamental note, allowing me to create the most incredible harmonies and meditative experiences - nothing else compares! The grounding vibrations and droning overtones of the gong transmutes energy, calms the mind, and entrains the brain into deeply restorative alpha and theta brainwave states - awake dreaming.
Gongs are the main event, howevert my sound style also includes intuitive use of other therapeutic instruments such as tibetan bowls, shamanic drums, chimes and shakers. Tibetan Bowls can be used both on and off the body to initiate a relaxation response in the nervous system and restore harmony at a cellular level, and shamanic drumming techniques or rhythmic gonging can facilitate brain wave entrainment - conscious dreaming or yogic sleep/nidra - for deep rest.
Session structure:
We begin with 5-10 minutes of grounding breathwork to regulate the nervous system and open the session.
You will be offered a thick padded mat with a pillow, blanket, weighted eye pillow and everythying you need (provided by me) to be as comfortable as possible.
Near the end, I include a few minutes of silence (unsound) as a time to let everything integrate. Soft chimes and shakers are then used to gently “invite you back” or wake you up so to speak.
Each session is unique and each person’s experience will vary, even from day to day. The key is to come with no expectations, and an open heart and mind. Simply allowing the sound to wash over you and to allow what is without judgement.
