Sound Healing Sessions

Sound Healing is the application of sound to the body, generating a frequency that tunes up the whole being into a vibration of wellness and harmony.

Many cultures recognize the importance of music and sound as a healing power. In the ancient civilizations of India, the Orient, Africa, Europe and among the Aboriginals and Amerindians, the practice of using sound to heal and achieve balance from within has existed for many years. The Tibetans still use bells, chimes, bowls, and chanting as the foundation of their spiritual practice. In Bali, Indonesia, the echoing gamelang, gong and drum are used in ceremonies to uplift and send messages. The Australian Aboriginals and Native American shamans use vocal toning and repetitive sound vibration with instruments created from nature in a sacred ceremony to heal any imbalance of the spirit, emotions or physical being.

Everything in the universe is in a state of vibration, and each object or person has a resonant frequency that is their optimal vibration. The chakras, bones and organs in the body all possess a different resonant frequency. When an organ, or other part of the body, is vibrating out of tune or non harmoniously, it is called "dis-ease". A body is in a healthy state of being when each cell and each organ create a resonance that is in harmony with the whole being. Vibrational therapy is based on the idea that all illness or disease is characterized by blockage in the channels on some level, such as in acupuncture meridians, arteries, veins, nerves and chakras (energy centers). When there is a blockage, the organ in question stops vibrating at a healthy frequency, and thus it results in some kind of illness. By using sound and vibration, blockages that initiate in our light or etheric body can be broken up, dissolved and removed to restore the body back to a vibration of health and wellbeing.

"The Healing Experience"

A session can generally last about one hour or more, with the first session lasting slightly longer as I take some extra time to get to know you and discuss the results you expect from a treatment. It is important that an intention be set for each treatment and that we are clear before we start what you want to achieve.

After I tune in to your energy, a session will involve the healing sounds of my voice, and any combination of the sound healing instruments that I work with. Using guided imagery, I will also encourage you to make your own healing sounds, that assist you in moving and clearing away any energy that no longer serves you. Healing with sound is a joint experience between the patient and the therapist and your comfort and trust in the process is of the utmost importance to me. I will be working with you to make sure your session is tailored specifically to your needs.

At Powwow Lodge you can come and enjoy a sound bath massage; Surrounded with many bowls and healing instruments from around the world, you will experience being bathed in a symphony of exquisite healing sounds. This is an amazing and wonderful experience and offers a great introduction to working with the power of sound as a healing tool.

While you can expect results after one session, it generally takes more than one or two sessions to affect lasting change. My ultimate goal is to teach you how to use sound yourself to improve your life on a daily basis.

The cost of a session is $75.00
For an appointment to book your session, you can contact me by email sunjay@powwowlodge.com. or call (661)242-1779

Aromatherapy Healing Sessions

Aromatherapy is the ancient practice of using the essential oils from plants for healing the body, mind and soul.

Herbalism and the use of aromatic remedies in particular are very much older forms of healing treatment than Western allopathic or orthodox medicine. Unlike many modern drugs, plant remedies have been tried and tested over hundreds of years. Aromatherapy represents a return to nature, based on principles requiring ecological awareness, aligning with the "Green Movement" and ever growing widespread concern regarding the eco-system of our planet.
Plant medicines embrace a holistic approach to health, focusing on the well being of the individual as a whole, addressing the physical body, and in addition, the mental and emotional aspects of ourselves as well.

"The Aromatherapy Healing Experience"

It is important that an intention be set for each treatment and that we are clear before we start what you want to achieve.

An aromatherapy healing session is a very comforting and multifaceted form of treatment.
During a session, the pleasingly scented aromatic oils produce both psychological and physiological effects as they are massaged into the skin and absorbed into the blood stream.
I also offer custom blended healing aromatherapy potions for personal use at home and between sessions. These are highly recommended for overall wellness and assist in creating an energy shield for each individual, helping to combat exposure to everyday toxins and EMF's ( electro magnetic frequencies) by boosting the immune system. To create your perfect blend, I use a combination of modalities - consultation, muscle testing, astrology, intuition- yours and mine and many years of experience working with the plant medicines.

While you can expect results after one session, it generally takes more than one or two sessions to affect lasting change. My gift is to teach you how to use the plant medicines yourself in order to improve your life on a daily basis.

The cost of a session is $75.00
The cost of a custom blend including consultation is $85.00
