It’s not often something considered an alternate therapy is validated by modern science.
While drawn more and more in her maturity to non-medical healing therapies, former pathology laboratory technician and now certified SoulNar practitioner Kellie Crosier says her science brain needed that connection before diving into the world of sound therapy.
“Sound and energy healing is a healing modality based on the use of vibration and sound techniques along with hands-on energy therapy,” Mrs Crosier said.
“It’s an effective method, acknowledged by ancient traditions and validated by modern science to promote wellness and balance.”
The therapy uses sound frequencies with the intention of balancing the mind, body and spirit.
Science says sound frequencies can stimulate the vagus nerve, which plays a key role in the parasympathetic nervous system, helping to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
When the vagus nerve is activated, certain sound frequencies and vibrations can lower heart rate, decrease blood pressure and enhance overall wellbeing.
“I was really drawn to the alternate therapy of sound and energy healing, particularly the vibrational side of healing,” Mrs Crosier said.
“Albert Einstein once said that ‘future medicine will be the medicine of frequencies’.
“The high frequency of the instruments transforms not only the bones and tissues, but penetrates the sub-atomic structure of the cell.
“If you think about the effect of vibration on water, when there is sound, the water ripples; well, like water, our body is made up of cells and humans are made of up to 60 per cent water, so the vibrational sounds have an effect on our bodies.”
Mrs Crosier completed accredited training in February in Somers, a town on the Mornington Peninsula, with SoulNar creator Bianca Mayers.
“There were six of us in total who did the course from all different states and areas of Victoria,” Mrs Crosier said.
The SoulNar course is certified through the International Institute for Complementary Therapists and is recognised in over 25 countries.
The equipment used during the hour-long healing sessions includes a crystal quartz singing bowl, tuned to the frequency of the heart chakra, a 528-hertz chime bar and tingsha bells.
“I will also use crystals and (essential) oils in a session,” Mrs Crosier said.
Mrs Crosier, who hopes to begin practising in Shepparton next month under the name Blue Wren Sound Healing, said the therapy could be used to treat stress and anxiety, relieve pain and help shift past traumas.
“We work with chakras and each session combines guided meditation, chakra breathwork, sound healing and hands-on energy healing,” she said.
The SoulNar website reports that oncologist Mitchell Gaynor believes crystal sound energy therapy is the future of modern medicine: “It offers the same benefits to conditions of the body as some prescription drugs.”
Mrs Crosier said sound therapy relaxed the nervous system, helping clear blockages that led to severe headaches.
“The 528 hz chime can bring an increased amount of love energy, clarity of mind, awareness and inner peace,” she said.
“The 528 tone is also known as the ‘miracle tone’, or frequency of love.
“Its effects are well-known in the medical world.”
Unlike some other therapies, you don’t have to commit to a course of multiple sessions.
“It’s the kind of therapy you can have as much or as little as you feel you need; it really depends on the individual needs of each client,” Mrs Crosier said.
“Clients experiencing trauma may benefit from once a week, once a fortnight or once a month until their trauma settles.”
