FEELING MORE, THINKING LESS - PART 1

Healing is Feeling

Sound healing is feeling. In the sound bath the mirage of thoughts shimmers as waves of crystal resonance wash through you. You are cleansed in the purity of vibration. Thoughts themselves are the transparent dream, the in-between state of being, the twilight where day and night merge. You are waves on the sea, letting it float as just being and feeling.

It's not that we abandon thoughts, the thinking mind, in order to feel more. Rather, thoughts are felt as the swell of the ocean of our being. It is not difficult to do because we are not doing. Not humans doing but human beings. That magic embrace of pure crystal sound — in luxurious harmonies, captivating binaurals, entrancing dissonances, stabilizing consonances, the stories without words told by the healer — moves you beyond conceptual mind.

Setting Your Intention

The intention to feel is a good way to begin your sound bath journey. Feeling is being awake to the subtleties of your journey. The felt journey is letting the mind and body be as they are, not what you think they should be. Every movement of sound, of mind, of your body, is the source of your being. Keep moving and going with the flow. Sometimes movement is felt as deep bliss, sometimes as discomfort or pain. Doesn't matter which.

Feeling more and thinking less. At any moment, let the intention to feel be the guide on your journey. Let the music be the medicine. Crystal waves teach you letting go until you realise there is nothing to let go of. Relax, and then relax deeper. Let the sound take you there. Give in, give up, surrender, let go. In one moment you suddenly synchronise with the universe. Nothing happens, yet the universe is seen in the full bloom of the moment.

Crystal Bowls are Protectors

Feeling more, thinking less. This is the mantra of now, where feeling happens. Sometimes crystal bowls are called protectors. Protectors guide you through the fringe areas of the fickle mind, and remind you to get back into feeling again. You spin off and come back, again and again. Sometimes the fringe areas are freaky and weird, places we think we've never been to before. They can be levels of sunken ground, dark, where emotions have been buried. Strange characters may lurk there. You can, with training, feel their presence — not banish them. Feeling more, your boundary-less openness expands to include everything, just as the rays of the sun shine everywhere on everyone.

Kind and Gentle Presence

The whole journey in sound healing rests in kind and gentle presence, which is feeling more. Feeling is soft, gentle, yielding, feminine. The richness of dissonance reminds you to feel right now in the moment. It happens now. Now is soft and gentle. Nothing to prove, build up, accomplish. Thinking less just happens as you trust the feeling journey more. Each moment you feel yourself brings more confidence in feeling the journey.
