How we make the healing sounds
(photos and text)
Sound has incredible vibration as I am sure you all know. We use sound to release pent up, blocked energies in the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies. These are samples of sounds that we use in our healing work, as well as samples of a few sounds that we don't use with clients, but have used on tape for ourselves that have been very healing. These sample sounds are narrated, the combined sounds below are not. We have a number of crystal bowls in different sizes, both clear and frosted. A medium size Tibetan bowl and two Tibetan bells. We don't have the smallest size of Tibetan bell, but it makes a very unique sound of it's own. Tingshas can vary a lot from pair to pair. We only have one pair at the moment or we would let you hear a variety. We have many rattles, most are ones that we have made, and a couple specific healing rattles that were made for us, that we will share here. We use drums in everything we do the vibrations are so different than any of the other sounds. It is a deep connection to the Earth that is felt during drumming and this connection has healed more than can be put into words. The Freenotes, wind chimes, bones and tinkerbells are very harmonious and relaxing sounds that we like to hear ourselves. Down the page are small images with descriptions of these items.

The drums on this day did not record well in the room we were in! They are very distorted. We will try to get them rerecorded soon, for now, we recommend going to the drum sounds page to hear the drums.
We recorded these one day in a bedroom of our house because we wanted a tape to meditate with. They are very simple recordings, and we are not musicians. Sometimes it takes us 30 seconds or so to get in sync with each other and get into the energy. Some were recorded Nov of 1994 and some on the winter Solstice of the same year.

How we make the healing sounds

These
are 3 of our crystal bowls. The large one in the back is tuned to the
crown chakra, the smaller frosted one, to the heart chakra, and the small clear
one, to the navel chakra. The largest one on a size scale of 1 - 100, is
about a 75. The clear bowls don't come in as many sizes, I think the
smaller frosted bowl in the picture, would be about the size of the largest
clear bowl you can get. In the combined sounds of the crystal bowls, we
are using the three bowls shown, plus a throat chakra bowl that is the same size
as the small frosted bowl shown. We were also using a smaller clear bowl
that is tuned to the root chakra which we accidentally broke. They are
very fragile. We had a customer break one in a store we had, by letting
the sound get too intense. It was a shock to us all to hear it burst into
pieces, but we learned what the threshold of the bowls are in the process.
These
are the Tibetan Bells and Bowl. The picture is a little dark and you can't
see the detail on the bells, but they are very beautiful. There is a bell
one size smaller, but we don't have one. The bowls come in a variety of
sizes as well. The most common being about half the size of the one here
and ranging up to the size of a dinner plate before getting to the point of
becoming gongs that need to be hung. We met a healer with a very large one
that puts it directly on the abdomen of the person while they are laying on the
table. That was really powerful.
These are
Tingshas they come in sets hooked together. You hit them together and let
them hang as they emit the beautiful sound they make. They come with all
kinds of different patterns engraved on them. They are quite small about 2
1/2 to 3 inches in diameter.
These
are our Medicine Rattles. They are healing rattles that were made for us
by a medicine woman in Washington State. The rattle on the far left is
Randy's Bear rattle. It is a really intense rattle that we use to break
energy blockages and disperse negative energies around someone that we are
working on. It is a very loud rattle as sound goes and it always amazes me
that people can stay in a meditative state when we are using it close to their
head. The mental aspect of self thinks is should jar them out of it,
but it never does. The rattle in the center is Tatiacha's
bobcat rattle and it's purpose is more ceremonial. It is used to carry
prayers for the person we are working on out into the universe. It is a
very gentle sounding rattle. The rattle on the right is Tatiacha's Cat
rattle. It is literally made from domestic cat hide of a cat that was
found, having been killed by a train and brought to the medicine woman. It
is a very interesting rattle. It is used primarily in a circular motion and the
sound is very gentle. The nurturing aspect of cat really comes
through. It is used often to aid in bringing to the surface the particular
emotion that is affecting the person being worked on so that it can be dispersed
with the Bear or one of the Buffalo rattles.
These
are the deer dew claw and deer toe rattles. We use them to move a lot of
energy around in a hurry. They are very good for equalizing the energy
around the body so that it is not all going to one place. Creating a
balance of heightened vibration to allow the emotional, mental and physical
bodies to come to a natural state of integration when they have been out of
balance for some time. They are also great rattle for gatherings, when
drumming they help to integrate the group and spread the energies among the
people.
These
are the buffalo rattles They are used in healing and ceremony. Buffalo
hide is very thick and dries much harder than some other hides, which gives the
buffalo rattles a very intense sound and energy.
These
are a couple of hand drums. Both of them are Tatiacha's. The
smaller cougar drum is elk hide and makes kind of wha wha sound that is common
with elk hide but rare in deer hides. The Butterfly drum is a deer
hide. The recordings of the drums were done on a rainy day and the cougar
drum had no voice at all so we didn't even try to record it. The place was
not a good place to record drums! When the weather improves we will take
the drums outside and get some good recordings.
These
are the pow wow drums. The grandfather drum is the one used on our tape on
the drum sounds page. I don't know what to say about these drums.
When a person experiences them for the first time it is common for them to say
something to the effect of "oh, now I get it" They have heard
about the big drums, but the experience of them in person, where you can feel
the vibration is something I don't think anyone forgets.
These
are freenotes, created by Richard Cooke. I thought I had a contact address
or phone number on where to get them, but I can't find it, and it has been many
years, and as many moves to different houses. I will try to find some
information in case anyone wants to get a set for themselves. ( I have
seen them recently in a Real Goods catalog. Probably not as good of
a price as getting them direct, but you can get them. The contact
info for Real Goods is in the Links section. They come in a variety of configurations and they can be purchased
already made or in kits. They are a lot of fun, especially for those of us
who are not musicians in this life. The small one is a 8 note G Major
Pentatonic Set, and the larger is a 11 note C Minor Pentatonic Set.
These
are the small India bells, a couple of the Tinkerbells and a couple bone beads
that were uses in the sounds. We rarely use these in a healing session,
but do incorporate them in something we tape for ourselves. In India bells
have been used during hiking in the grizzly bear country here in Montana as
well. Many people use big jingle bells and it get old very fast, but these
bells are very harmonious and it is easy to listen to them for the duration of
the hike.
Harmonic Wind Chimes: (not pictured) I didn't want to leave out the info on these. The one we have used in the sounds on this page are from J.W. Stannard of Largo Florida. They are all hand tuned and there is a wide variety of sizes. They also make chimes with strikers that are really nice.
