I didn’t buy three crystal singing bowls last Tuesday and decide I was a sound healer.
It actually started several years ago at a Reiki inner child healing at Aquarium Dreams. (Thanks, Maria Banas 😉)
I had no idea what to expect. I was lying there during the meditation when I heard this beautiful sound I had never heard before.
I remember thinking, Oh my God. What IS that?
The experience was incredibly powerful. I cried through almost the entire meditation, and afterward I waited until everyone cleared out so I could ask the teacher what I had just heard.
Crystal singing bowls.
I was completely fascinated.
So naturally, I went out the very next day and bought a 10-inch A crystal singing bowl. 😂
At the time, I was dealing with a lot of anxiety and panic, and that bowl became part of my daily practice. I’d sit with it, breathe, drone the sound and just listen.
And I started noticing how much it helped me.
That’s when I went down the rabbit hole.
Books. YouTube. Anything I could find. Eventually that led me to Level 1 Integral Sound Healing training with the Sound Healing Academy, and I just knew.
I wanted to do this work.
I continued into Level 2, which took me much deeper into therapeutic sound through hands-on practice and case-study work.
Around that same time, I also began a 2½-year shamanic practitioner apprenticeship focused on energy work, ceremony and working with the natural world.
Over time, those two paths started weaving together. What I was learning through my apprenticeship naturally began finding its way into how I worked with sound, and what I was learning through sound gave me another way to work with everything I was learning in my apprenticeship.
And really, that’s how the practice I have today started to take shape.
Eventually, it all led to Sagewave Sound.
What started with one crystal bowl several years ago has become something I’m somehow even more fascinated by the deeper I go.
And I’m definitely still learning.
