"The sound of a singing bowl touches our innermost being. It makes our souls vibrate. It releases tension, activates self-healing abilities, and sets creative energy free."
- Peter Hess
When you are in a deeply relaxed and safe space, your parasympathetic system is activated and you are able to free yourself from the 'fight or flight' that we so often reside in. Within that restful state, your body is free to activate its own optimal function and the 'sound side effects' can begin to arrive. Some examples can include decreased pain, lowered blood pressure, increased circulation, reduction of anxiety symptoms and a feeling of "letting go" of thoughts that do not serve our wellbeing, relief from nerve damage, increased body awareness of issues that may not have been consciously known, and more. It is worth repeating here that each session will be different for each person, and no end results are predictable. Each massage is an individual experience and one that can change based on your current state of wellbeing and own perception and awareness of sound and resonance.
​
In a Peter Hess® Sound Massage, we emphasize the principle of "Less is More". We believe that more effective self-awareness and healing can come from gentle nurturing. The first three sessions keep to the same protocol to assist you with knowing how the resonance affects your own body and to gain familiarity and trust. Following your third session, further individualized care and attention can be give to areas of need.
​
Because the body is made up of approximately 75% liquid, it is very good at conducting sound. With this in mind, it can be understood how the sound can then travel through your body to target "stuck" areas that you may (or may not!) be aware exist.
​
The aim of the session is not to "fix" you or your symptoms, but rather to assist you in getting to a state of safety, feeling nurtured, trust, peace, and ability to 'let go'. Each session can look different from the next and is a highly individualized and intentional process.
​
The primary intent of sound massage is deep relaxation and a return to self.
