The Sound Healing Academy May Newsletter

Welcome to our May Newsletter!

Many of our students share that their sound healing journey began by simply attending a local sound bath.

Inspired by the power of sound, they went on to complete our online courses and in-person workshops, learning how to tap into their creativity and offer their own sound baths to family, friends, and their wider communities. Some chose to train with us to create beautiful sound baths for personal self-care and wellbeing, to meet like-minded people, to have fun - and to become the change they wish to see in the world!

Whatever your reason for wanting to learn how to create transformative sound experiences, we’re here to support you every step of the way. The Sound Healing Academy is your home for growth, connection, and the magic of sound!

As we step into the gentle embrace of May, we invite you to slow down, take a deep breath, and immerse yourself in the nourishing waves of sound. This month, we’re shining a light on one of the most deeply restorative practices in our toolkit - sound baths.

Whether you’re soaking in the harmonic resonance of crystal singing bowls, surrendering to the steady rhythm of gongs, or simply lying in stillness as sound washes over you - sound baths offer a sanctuary for the soul. They reconnect us with our inner stillness, invite deep relaxation, and awaken a profound sense of harmony within.

In this newsletter, we’re sharing the magic of sound baths - from upcoming events and practitioner spotlights to guided journeys and instruments that can support your own sound bath practice.

Let this be your reminder: healing doesn’t have to be loud - it can be soft, subtle, and deeply sonic.

Meet Hannah - a songwriter for the soul

Hi, I'm Hannah, I’m a calm space creator and I believe that music can be medicine.

It’s my life’s work to create beautiful music from my heart that makes people feel better.
Music that makes people feel calmer, more peaceful, nostalgic, lighter. Music that makes people feel seen.

My healing sound bath journey started back in 2019. I was a full time musician and my beautiful Nana was very ill in the hospital. When me, mum, dad and my 83-year-old great uncle Colin sang to her, our voices swelled sweetly down the hospital corridors - tender, tearful & full of love. And as we sang we soothed her soul - and it was in this moment I realised that the human voice is the most healing thing in the universe.

And this is also the moment I realised what healing is. Healing is finding that place of peace deep in your heart. And two weeks later I started my sound healing workshop training! I adored my Level 2 Sound Baths Workshop - it was the first thing I'd ever done for myself as I didn't go to university. So it's really the only thing I've ever been fully qualified to do!

I met a life long friend, Jooles, who I run Moon Circles with...and it was just the most immersive, thorough & blissful experience. I'd really recommend in person training at the Academy as it gave me such a deep understanding of how to really play the instruments, experience them and how to hold space for a group.

I started my sound bath business, Good Vibrations Wellbeing, in 2020...but it really developed & transitioned from my mindful guitar lessons, which started back in 2013.

When you come to one of my sound baths, I believe you’re not just hearing me play my crystal bowls and sing. I believe you are hearing the songs of all the beautiful souls who came before me. If you listen with a soft, open heart, you can hear the songbird melodies and lullabies my Mum sang to me. If you listen closely, you can almost hear the echoes of my Nana playing the upright piano at the ballet school.

In the rich resonance and deeper vibrations, I know without a doubt that you can feel my Grandad singing in his baritone voice, a sherry in his hand. If you tune in a little more closely, you might catch the transcendent harmonies of my Grannie playing the organ at a carol concert. Within the delicate chord progressions and diminished sevenths, you can hear the lilt of my Great Uncle’s jazz keys.

Time and time again, you will hear the soft, gentle strumming of my Dad playing James Taylor songs on the guitar. I even hold the frequencies of my Great Grandad singing in the opera too.

When you come to one of my sound baths, I believe you can hear all these angels standing behind me. I even sing and play for the future too - for those loved ones I am yet to meet. Because when I play the instruments and sing from my heart, it feels like coming home.

How could it not?

So, next time you find yourself in the flow of doing something you love most - whether that’s writing, dancing, or cooking - know that you are weaving together the stories of all the ones you love.

I promise, it will feel like home!

Exploring the healing power of singing bowls

A recent study published in ScienceDirect in 2023 titled “Exploring the Healing Power of Singing Bowls” delves into the potential health benefits of singing bowl sound healing meditation.

The research highlights that participants experienced significant reductions in stress and improvements in spiritual wellness after engaging in singing bowl sessions.

These findings suggest that such sound-based therapies can be effective in promoting relaxation and enhancing overall well-being!

The transformational power of gongs

Gongs have been used for thousands of years across cultures for their deeply resonant and powerful sound.

In sound healing, gongs are known for creating rich layers of overtones and vibrations that can induce profound states of relaxation, release energetic blockages, and promote deep healing on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level.

Whether used in a sound bath, one-to-one session, or personal practice, the gong is a truly transformative instrument that can guide people into altered states of consciousness and deep self-discovery.

Wind gongs are now available in both Sound Therapy Shops - you can now bring the power of the gong into your own healing space and take your practice to the next level!

Create your own mini sound bath

In the busyness of daily life, taking just a few moments to reconnect with yourself through sound can bring calm, clarity, and balance.

A mini sound bath practice is a gentle yet powerful way to support your well-being - and you don’t need a full studio of instruments to experience its magic. Here’s a simple practice using just 3 beautiful tools:

• Tibetan Singing Bowl - Begin your sound bath by gently striking or playing the bowl. Let the grounding tones wash over you, anchoring you into the present moment. Use it to set your intention for the session - whether it’s peace, release, or renewal.
• Crystal Singing Bowl - Bring in the crystalline clarity of a crystal bowl to elevate your energy. Its pure tones resonate deeply through the body, helping to clear blockages and bring emotional balance. Let each tone guide you into deeper relaxation.
• Zaphir Chime - Close your mini session with the soft, ethereal tones of a Zaphir chime. This delicate sound brings a sense of lightness and upliftment, like a gentle breeze clearing away the mental clutter and inviting in fresh energy.

Even five minutes with this trio can help reset your energy, soothe your nervous system, and reconnect you with your inner calm.

What intention will you set for your next mini sound bath?
