NOVEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Sound Meditation
by
Susan Barney
We can't draw you a salt bath but we can bathe you in soothing sounds that will help you decompress after a long day of thinking and staring at your screen. This is an opportunity for you to close your eyes and relax while listening to the soothing sounds of gongs and Himalayan singing bowls.
Facilitated by Susan Barney, a professional harmonic sound practitioner who trained with Mitch Nur, we invite you to be nourished and inspired to try this modality in the comfort of your home.

about
Susan Barney is a Boston based harmonic sound practitioner. She works with a carefully curated selection of sound tools, including highly resonant bronze instruments, large gongs and Himalayan singing bowls, to create a sonic container that allows for a complete immersion into a field of multi-tonal sound and vibration. The rich harmonics created act as a catalyst to shift out of an over-accelerated nervous system due to the stress of daily life into a profound state of relaxation. This is a unique practice of being rather than doing. Harmonic sound therapy is a holistic practice of well being that supports the mind, body and spirit.
Why Sound Meditation?
In all cultures and civilizations throughout our planet’s history, sound has been fundamental to the human experience. While sound healing in not a new concept, science is still catching up to helping us understand the healing effects on our physical and mental states.
​
Evidence from observational studies in western neuroscience suggests positive health effects from sound therapy. One study published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine found that an hour long sound meditation helped people reduce tension, anger, fatigue, anxiety, and depression while increasing a sense of spiritual well-being.

Having a sound therapy session with Susan was one of the most deeply relaxing and profoundly restorative treatments I’ve experienced. Susan is a gifted, creative and compassionate healer…. I highly recommend her.

My experience with Sound Healing has been transformative. I remember my first time hearing “the gong”; it was immediately relaxing and those of us that shared the moment commented on our transition of state of mind from one of tracking details to total relaxation.
