Using a Vibroacoustic Sound Table for Healing Emotional Wounds
by Maureen Spencer, R.N, M.Ed.
Certified Vibroacoustic Sound Facilitator, Registered Yoga Teacher In 1996, I was introduced to a vibroacoustic sound unit called the DreamWeaver. At that time, I had recently lost a younger sister to cancer and thought I had grieved her loss and was over it. I developed frozen shoulder syndrome (my father developed it also) from holding in all the emotions during her two year battle. I was told this type of energy work would help release my shoulders and help me to heal the pain. I was instructed to recline on the mat, then covered with a blanket and eye pillow. The facilitator started playing very unusual music and sounds (e.g. didgeridoo, drumming, gongs, bells, crystal bowls). I had never been exposed to natural and organic tones and frequencies associated with these instruments. Within moments of the session, I burst into tears and released a tremendous amount of repressed emotional pain. I had no idea I was holding that much in and as I let it out - I felt freed for the first time in my life. The expansiveness of the release – all the various emotions, feelings and sensations moving within and out of me, was spectacular. I learned later that once it's released you can't go back and relive, recreate and repress it all again. In that moment - I knew what my new career path would be and within 6 months of the session I opened a yoga-based stress reduction center and purchased a DreamWeaver. I now work with a newer version – using a vibroacoustic sound table with the copper dodecahedron called the Cymatron Sound Table. It is more stable than the mat and supports more body weight. The use of the copper dodecahedron creates a deep meditative state, which "by-passes" the ego and allows the client's intent for healing to release any deep-seated energy that contributes to the onset of illness and conditions. The clients who have sessions range from people with cancer, those experiencing a loss or separation, people with anxiety and worry, healthy teens going through the hormonal surges causing emotional instabilities, children with developmental difficulties, and healthy yoga teachers and healers keeping their energy field balanced. The Cymatron Sound Table was named in honor of the 1967 work of Hans Jenny and "Cymatics" (www.cymatics.org/U.K.) - a researcher who demonstrated how sound and specific tones affect various mediums. Entrainment with passive hearing or active listening to sound creates various outcomes in the human body due to the body’s 75% liquid medium. The Cymatron Sound Table opens a doorway to super-learning through a more complete experience of sound. As you lay on the Cymatron Sound Table, you experience a gentle cellular massage. The components of the table vibrate the main platform causing the specific frequencies of the sounds to bathe the body in vibration. You FEEL the music on all levels instead of just hearing the music. It’s as if the body becomes an eardrum. There are three essential elements in a Cymatron session. The first is a stated intention for healing or change, formulated together by the client and the facilitator. Intention is the force, which propels us to our goals. Where thought goes, energy follows so establishing an intent for liberation or manifestation is an important component of the session. The second is the use of a vibroacoustic sound table through which one both hears and feels music. The pulsing of the sound through the table induces the body to release energy blockages, which may have resulted from physical injury, emotional trauma, or any other stress or illness. The body's natural flow of subtle energy is restored within the chakras and meridians and allows the client to move to a higher state of harmony and well-being. The third component of the Cymatron is the dodecahedron, a 12-sided copper geometric frame, which generates a unified energy field for manifesting the idea into being, for healing and transformation. Special connectors are used which take the twenty 2 ft copper pipes to create a dodecahedron. In a dodecahedron, there are 12 pentagons connected together, which facilitate the opening of the heart chakra. This sacred space enables old energy patterns to shift, release and re-organize at a higher frequency. It entrains the energy of emerging consciousness, and many describe it as a "cosmic womb". You feel safe, contained and liberated in this structure. I have conducted over 10,500 documented sessions since 1997 and the results are truly amazing. It has led me to appreciate how repressed feelings and stagnated emotions contribute to "dis-ease" (not being at ease with oneself). Cymatron sessions are highly effective for shifting and healing the subtle frequencies causing deep-seated diseases. |
