I might sometimes be to drawn to people who seems a bit on the cutting edge. I know. But I can’t help it. It’s a force within me who always is searching, exploring and wondering. I found this guy David on the Instagram. There’s really a world there of smart people with so many different approaches to life. I made hundreds of inspiring instafriends this last year. I am learning, growing, seeing and even listening! Thanks to you all. It seems like we are a big family of souls trying to ground and learn what life is all about. In different ways.
Last night I met David in the Salt Caves. One of my newest instagram friends. We of course connected imidiately on the phone.
David Kennet is a shamanic sound healer and this Journey is a sound voyage, a primal journey within. He is using voice, drum, flute, tibetan and crystal singing bowls, During the ceremony he offers a vibrational transmission that helps us reconnect with our Heart Center and melt away perceived limits and obstacles. During this special ceremony, you will receive a one-on-one customized personal sound healing. David will also be guiding us on practical ways to use sound in our everyday lives.
This last year I have been and still am studying the Chakras! There are many ways to learn about our inner processes. I use my way (will share soo much more later) – David is using his method. Sounds. He is group healing using sounds. Drums. Glasbowls. His Voice. Instruments. His divine Power. And the Chakras.
We sat down on the mat. He gave us a short introduction. Then we made connecting vibration sounds through the seven chakras. And then we wrote down on a note a feeling or sensation we wanted less of in life. For instance fear, anxiety, insecurity etc. On another note we wrote down what we wanted more of. For example love, security, succes, faith etc.
Then the meditative session started. We are laying on our backs. The ground is covered by Himalayasalt in the cave. David starts his healing approaching each and everyone of us playing a personal healing sound.
Q: What is Soul Sounding?
Our Soul Sound is our authentic VOICE….the actual sound and tone of our voice is either connected to our Heart and Soul or completely disconnected. When our voice is aligned to our authentic self, it carries a tone of love and compassion. An “open voice” increases the vibration for all the trillions of cells, tissues and organs of our body.
What is a Shaman?
On a basic level, shamans (medicine men/women) have the ability to activate the healing potential in others, whether it be physical, mental or emotional. They help us remove limiting obstacles and see a new reality. I am not a formally trained shaman, yet shamans have indicated the work I do is shamanic. I devoted over 20 years of my life to a spiritual master, a musician/metaphysician who opened my voice and Heart. More than a sound shaman, I consider myself to be a facilitator. Its incredibly empowering to remember that each and every one of us is our own best healer. A gentle nudge or guidance in the correct direction is all it takes sometimes for us to remember how we can heal ourselves.
My body was vibrating. It could be compared with an internal massage. It felt pleasant and floating. Also relaxing. Some people fell asleep.
He healed the wounds. And then afterwards he energized whatever we could love to have more of. 90 minutes passed by so quickly and after three deep OM’s we got back to the real world.
Q: Why do people need therapy through sounds?
Sacred sound helps relax our nervous system, makes it easier to meditate, brings clarity to our immune system, reduces cortisol and increases endorphins. It can be used to help us let go of stuck emotions as well as help re-write the html code of subconscious programming so that we fully experience what we desire in life. Best of all sacred, intentional sound is completely safe and non-invasive.
Q: Who are you clients?
People come to me who have allergies or in need emotional/spiritual healing. Physical and emotional health for the most part is a pro-active decision based on taking responsibility for the lifestyle we live, the people with whom we surround ourselves, and the foods we eat. People come to me who understand that they are responsible for the life they are creating. Often times the subconscious mind (our internal computer program) stores beliefs and emotions that are not in alignment with what we desire in life. I offer tools that help the subconscious work FOR us, not against us.
Q: What kind of symptoms can you heal?
I don’t heal anyone….the body heals itself. I work with pet allergies, environmental allergies and all food allergies (including gluten, wheat, dairy and soy)
Q: Can you share a specific story of a happy person you have helped?
A woman came to me who suffered from a severe gluten allergy her entire life. After just one 45 minute session with me she was able to eat gluten and drink beer the next day. This was about 5 years ago and she remains symptom free. A man came to me with an addition to cigarettes. After 30 years of smoking, he decided to quit the next day.
Q: To be a therapist, what kind of skills do you need?
For the allergy work, its important to have some background in nutrition, a basic understanding of meridians and acupressure, be a massage therapist and have training in sound therapy.
David uses muscletesting in order to measure before and after energy. There was this lady. Her request for less was sugar addiction. She was very week when he tested before. And a lot stronger after.
Q: How did this happen?
The woman with the sugar addiction tested weak on “Sugar Addiction” before the Shamanic Sound Journey. Afterwards she re-tested as strong which indicated her body’s healing potential was awakened. People have reported to me that they have been able to reduce sugar intake and/or quit smoking after sound healing sessions.
So what did this healing do for me? Did I get any sensation or improvement? Did I feel more of what I wanted?
I was surprisingly calm afterwards. I could feel the medical effect the salt had on my lunges feeling the breath smooth and the body relaxed. I was thrilled after the exotic atmosphere in the cave. I felt like I had been on a journey. To different cultures. From Lapland to Inca. The sounds David expelled made me travel. I had a break. A mindful moment.
