Course Descriptions
There are 5 Courses within the Sound Healing and Therapy Certificate Program:
The Overview course gives you an understanding of the basic structure of sound, and how sound can be used for various intentions -physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. We look at the history of sound healing and where the future is leading. We begin with the physics of sound, resonance and the harmonic structure of sound. We do a thorough examination of the physiology of the body and it’s relation to the emotional and spiritual bodies — and they work with sound and energy. We also explore the use of sound to bring people into various states of consciousness and shift individuals into particular brainwave states, such as delta, theta, alpha and gamma.
The classes on Sound Healing Instruments (in the Overview Course) focus on using the Crystal Bowls, Tibetan Bowls, Tuning Forks, and a full range of other instruments for healing and raising consciousness. You learn about archetypal frequencies and how different tonal qualities affect us. You also learning how to play each instrument and various ways to use them in a sound healing session or event.
The Inner Awareness and Transformation course is about using sound as tool for your own inner work. The clearer of a vessel you are, the cleaner the energy that you transmit when working on people or clients. This work is about releasing deep patterns emotional and mentally. It’s about healing yourself physically. It’s also about bringing more love and spirit to your work. As you experience these techniques for yourself, you also learn how to use them to help others heal themselves. We then embark on many experiential and transformative workshops using sound and intention — including those that combine sound with movement.
The Inner Music course is about seeing Music as the structure of the nature and the Universe — and us physically, mentally, emotionally and Spiritually. You will learn how musical intervals are the relationship between any two things in the Universe — whether that be two planets, two plants, two crystals, or two people. You then start to see the harmony or dissonance in a whole new light — with no judgement. You then understand music as a way of transforming relationships.
The Voice, Toning, Chant and Mantra course focuses on how to use the voice for making a full range of sounds — for healing others and yourself and to create a field of coherent sacred space. We practice toning, chants from all over the world, the power of mantra, and overtone singing.
The Sound Consciousness and Spirituality course is designed to give you an deeper understanding of how healing occurs, and what higher consciousness is in the first place. We look at how everything is connected at the quantum level, mathematically, and spiritually — sound, music, color, light, geometries, chemistry, physics, consciousness and spirituality — and how you can add these components to a Sound Healing session. By studying the correspondences between all of these areas we see the interconnectedness of all human beings to each other, to nature and to the universe. Understanding things at a deeper level helps you to be more in alignment with the true nature of reality. The more you are in alignment with reality of nature, and the natural flow of spirit, the more powerful your sound work will be.
