New Beginnings: A Reiki-Infused Sound Bath Awakening

Spring marks a time when the world around us begins blossoming and we too can use this time to bloom, grow, and awaken our energy, senses, and intentions by opening ourselves up to the season of rebirth after emerging from the winter. You’re invited to the special hybrid healing experience of a 60-minute sound bath combined with Reiki energy healing to help balance your mind, body, and spirit as you embrace this time of new beginnings.

During this sound bath (limited to 22 people), Matty Makowski, a certified Sound Healing and Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Practitioner and owner of Matty Sunshine Sound Healing, infuses Reiki energy into his 8 crystal singing bowls, gong, Tingsha cymbals, and other instruments that produce healing sounds, frequencies, and vibrations. At the same time, Jessie Lynn - a 3rd Degree Usui and Holy Fire Reiki Master/Teacher, Licensed Medical/Manual Massage Therapist, Certified Holistic Health Practitioner with specialities in Herbalism and AcuMyo Therapies, and owner of Horizon Holistics - immerses the entire group with Reiki energy, and briefly on each individual participant.

WHAT IS REIKI? Reiki is a Japanese healing technique used for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. This ancient practice is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy (called by many names in various belief systems, such as Ch’i, Ki, Prana, Mana, or Ruach) flows through everyone and everything to give us life, and that Reiki practitioners can utilize certain hand positions and gestures to channel this energy. Low, blocked, or unbalanced energy can manifest in various ways, including, but not limited to, illnesses, bodily aches and pains, and increased, heightened, and/or unbalanced emotions. If our life force energy is flowing and balanced, however, we are more capable of living a joyful, abundant, and aligned life. 

WHAT IS A SOUND BATH? This flow and balance can be accomplished through both Reiki and the ancient practice of sound healing, which is based on the principle that everything in the Universe is comprised of energy, frequencies, and vibrations, and that specific sounds, vibrations, and frequencies can be used to harmonize this energy inside each of us. Under the sound healing modality, a sound bath is a deeply immersive, full-body listening experience that can help balance the mind, body, and soul, similar to Reiki. During a sound bath, various instruments produce specific sounds, frequencies, and vibrations that can shift your brainwaves into a deeply relaxed state. In this state, your natural healing abilities can work more effectively to bring your mind, body, and spirit back into vibrational alignment.

BENEFITS: Reiki and sound healing/sound baths treat the whole person and, as a result, some of the shared potential benefits include balanced and increased energy; improved sleep; relief from aches, pains, and fatigue; releasing of stuck emotions/trauma; clearing of toxins; and increased mental clarity and insights.
