Don’t believe the hype!
I know. You catch wind to sound and energy work and YOU WANT IN! You want it so badly you start looking into buying all the things and following all the people!
And then... you see that there are all these instruments. And all the people you’re following have all the instruments. You look at the price tag, then your wallet, and all you can say is “FU^K!”
For the new sound practitioners entering the scene, know that you DO NOT need a ton of bowls (or instruments for that matter) to begin supporting yourself and others.
One bowl. Or one drum. Maybe it’s one gong. One chime. Or maybe its simply your voice! Know that there is so much power in simplicity.
Here is something most people don’t understand about Sound Healing... the power of this work is determined by how much inner work you are willing to do. The inner work supports the direction of action. It’s also a mind, body, spirit collaboration between you, the facilitator, the instrument, and your client.
Remember, what you see on Social Media is curated for a “vibe”. Just like the picture I chose for this post.
When you look closely you will see many of the people holding space don’t even know how to hold a mallet correctly (among other things). The point is, as Jonathan Goldman has said, “More is not better, louder is not better, and longer is not better.”
What do you think this work is about?
What are some of your frustrations in getting started?
Start with 1.
Work with it for yourself.
And you’ll see/feel what I mean.
