How Does Sound Work Exactly?
The sounds from these instruments are created with the intention to ENTRAIN the BRAIN into a relaxed state. Let me explain:
Sound therapists LOVE to create "wah wah wah" sounds. These "wah wah wah" sounds are basically very slow sound waves... around 0.5 - 16 cycles per second (Hz) depending on how fast the "wah wah wah" is going!
Brain waves are also measured in cycles per second (Hz)! When our brain waves are about 8 - 12 Hz (the Alpha state) we feel relaxed, alert, in the present moment, rather than when we are in our "normal" doing, busy state which is 12 - 38 Hz (the Beta state). CLICK HERE to learn more about our brain-wave states.
When you hear a sound that goes "wah wah wah" your brain then "entrains" (moves towards) that slower cycle per second. Just like when you listen to music with a steady strong fast beat your body, heart beat, brain waves also start entraining to that faster beat - you can't help but tap your foot in time with the music or start dancing!
These sound sessions hold the opposite intention of the fast music you hear at the gym or night club where people go to move fast, work-out, be excited, get that "rush"! The intention here is to SLOW down the brain, heart beat and body. And these instruments do this job VERY WELL! Even the most stressed out person is able to relax because the "wah wah wah" sounds from the instruments relax their brains for them! No effort required!
These sounds also balance the body...every cell in the body! Remember that we are made of 70% water and when you put water inside one of these bowls and play it you can see the beautiful, geometrical shapes created by these sounds. If you look at the science behind Dr Masaru Emoto's water crystals you will see what I'm talking about!

What to Expect?
Depending on the group, these sessions usually last for one hour. I begin by introducing the instruments to satisfy your curiosity which enables the group to relax more deeply. I explain how to make the most out of the session. Then you make yourself comfortable lying down (pillow under head, bolster under knees, mat under your body, blanket on your body). I then play sounds for about 50 mins and all you have to do is bring your attention to your breath, body and the sounds that flow through you and around you. After the session I am available to answer your questions and I usually invite people to share their experience if they want to.

Testimonial
Yogahub has been working with Nicole Lloyd for over 3.5 years. Together we have produced a unique sound and yoga experience that has become a favourite among our clients and a mainstay on our programme. Collaborating with Nicole has been a fantastic experience. Nicole teaches that sound is both a science and an art. Nicole holds a university degree in music so her performance skills are exceptional and this, in combination with her post graduate training in the psychological and therapeutic aspects of sound, have informed Nicole's creativity in developing a product that is delivered with great skill, passion and real knowledge. As a sound therapist, performer and friend, Nicole has our full support and admiration.

Add "The Sound Zone" to your Sound Session!
If you want to make your sound session extra special for your group I can include a half hour segment called "The Sound Zone". Here I teach the group how to play the instruments (very simple...) and everyone is invited to play and explore the sounds they can make with the instruments... no talking is allowed... just playing (like a child). After a few minutes everyone drops into what I call "The Sound Zone" where they are in the present moment, listening and playing as one body.
Perfect for people interested in personal development type work, being present, following intuition etc
Perfect for team building in the corporate world.
Perfect for kids to encourage listening and playing instruments with sensitivity
Perfect for anyone who wants to not only lie down and relax to sounds ... but wants to PLAY with sound too!
This is a totally different experience to passively lying down experiencing these instruments! ANYONE can play them too ... no need to think you are "musical" or have a music degree to play a bowl or a gong!
Cost?
Only $50 extra!
