When performed, these mesmerizing sounds create a deeply soothing orbiting impact that lightly rocks the listener into deeper states of meditation… & until you reside beneath a rock, then I’m positive you understand there are TONS of science backed advantages to meditation. Earlier than we get into all the small print of how sound therapeutic works, the advantages & extra, I’d prefer to again up a second.
Hello! I’m Lisa Caffey, I’m an power healer & soundbath practitioner based mostly out of Southern California & I maintain sacred house for folks eager to dissolve blockages & elevate their frequency. I wasn’t at all times “good vibes” & “love & gentle”… actually, I used to be a complete stress case earlier than I discovered power therapeutic. Rising up, I struggled with a variety of hardship.
I grew up with my grandmother in Newport Seaside, CA but it surely wasn’t your typical straightforward residing by the seaside. I had one father or mother battling dependancy whereas the opposite was by no means in my life. Going to personal Christian college, this was clearly not your regular Christian family which made my adversities that rather more troublesome. I discovered myself battling crippling nervousness assaults, studying disabilities, unhealthy coping mechanisms & extreme self price points.
By the point I used to be attending Santa Barbara Metropolis Faculty, my solely technique of combating any type of stress was partying… & boy, was I good at it. Some would possibly even consult with me because the lifetime of the occasion… which was method higher than being known as a fear wart??? I shortly realized this way of life was not sustainable, wholesome or serving me in any method. However I noticed no different method out.
It wasn’t till I took a yoga class in 2017 that modified my life without end.
Every class, my yoga teacher would dedicate a category to a non secular instructing just like the chakras, reiki power therapeutic, breathwork, affirmations & extra! I used to be fully hooked. I’d go house to do my very own analysis & started making use of my learnings into my on a regular basis life. And I used to be beginning to see a MAJOR shift. My boyfriend on the time (now fiancé!!) even acknowledged a optimistic change in me saying, “you appear so chill now that you simply’ve been doing yoga.” He was proper, I positively discovered my chill.
As an alternative of overly stressing or having panic assaults that after consumed me, I now discovered methods to manage & finally heal my thoughts, physique & soul in a wholesome method. Effectively, the Universe loves to check our development & I used to be given the final word take a look at. On March seventeenth, 2018 I acquired a telephone name stating that my grandfather had an airplane accident. I used to be devastated. My grandpa was a extremely expert pilot of fifty years. On that Saturday, he calmly radioed in that he was having engine issues which resulted in a deadly crash within the yard of a neighborhood house in Riverside, CA. Fortunately, nobody else was injured.
On the second day of mourning, I advised myself, “one week, then I’ll rise up.”
I let myself go to the depths of my soul to really feel each ounce of despair I had. After 9 days of crying, watching Disney motion pictures, having my boyfriend are inclined to my each humanly want (thanks babe, I’m without end grateful), I obtained up & leaned into my non secular practices & strategies. I remembered my yoga trainer talked about reiki power therapeutic, a course of to vibrationally carry the physique again to steadiness so I figured… what the hell, I’ve obtained nothing to lose. I went to my session & was SHOOK, I truly felt an enormous weight lifted off my shoulders.
I started receiving common periods & really consider I’ve been capable of transmute my ache into peace… even objective! I ultimately turned an authorized Reiki Grasp & sound therapeutic got here shortly after that. I shortly fell in love with the therapeutic vibrations of soundbaths. In reality, I’ve at all times been a kind of individuals who might be transported right into a time or house based mostly on music… & sound therapeutic did simply that for me. It took me to a fantastic oasis of my being that gave me the chance to deepen my therapeutic & peace to an entire new stage.
