Reiki with Sound
Sound and vibration, followed by the stillness of Reiki.
Sometimes settling into stillness takes a little time.
Reiki with Sound begins with sound and vibration before moving into a Reiki treatment.
Sandra intuitively selects a tuning fork and Tibetan singing bowl for the session. The first part of the experience allows you to listen and feel as the sound develops around and through the body.
After around 30 minutes, the sound comes to an end and Sandra moves into Reiki.
For people who sometimes find it difficult to settle, the sound can offer another focus for their attention before the quieter Reiki part of the session begins.
The sound doesn't make the Reiki stronger. It simply creates a different experience.

What happens during Reiki with Sound?
When you arrive, there is time to settle and talk briefly about how you are and anything Sandra needs to be aware of.
If this is your first appointment, Sandra will ask you to complete a consultation form and spend some time understanding your requirements before beginning.
You remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on the treatment couch.
The experience then has two distinct parts.
First, sound and vibration
Sandra begins with a tuning fork, played over and around the body.
She then introduces a Tibetan singing bowl.
The bowl is placed gently on the body in three areas during the experience:
the chest · the tummy · the lower legs
Depending on what is appropriate for the individual, the final placement may instead be beside the feet.
The bowl allows the sound to be heard while its vibration may also be felt through the body.
There is nothing you need to interpret or make happen.
You can simply notice what you hear and feel.
Then, Reiki
After approximately 30 minutes, Sandra brings the sound part of the experience to a close and moves into Reiki.
The change from sound and vibration into the relative quiet of Reiki creates a different quality within the session.
Sandra then continues with Reiki using gentle hands-on or hands-off practice according to your preferences.
Sound first. Then Reiki. One experience with two different qualities.
The sounds may change from one session to another.
Before each treatment, Sandra intuitively selects the tuning fork and Tibetan singing bowl she will bring with her to Navitas.
If you return for another Reiki with Sound treatment, she doesn't automatically use the same instruments. She may be drawn to a different tuning fork or bowl — or the same ones may feel appropriate again.
There is nothing you need to choose or work out beforehand.
You can simply experience what is there.
Sometimes sound gives the mind somewhere to rest.
Not everyone finds it easy to become still simply because they have lain down.
Thoughts may still be moving.
The day may still feel very present.
Sandra has found in her own practice that some clients who struggle to settle find that listening to the sounds and feeling the vibration gives their attention something to rest with.
By the time the sound comes to an end, they may already feel more settled as the Reiki part of the experience begins.
This isn't something you need to achieve.
And there is no particular level of relaxation required for Reiki.
The sound is another way into the experience, not a better way.
Which feels right for you?
Choose Reiki if you feel drawn towards the simplicity and relative stillness of a Reiki treatment.
Choose Reiki with Sound if you are curious about experiencing sound and physical vibration before moving into Reiki.
Neither is the better treatment.
Adding sound does not mean that more Reiki is being delivered or that the session becomes more powerful.
They are simply different experiences.
Different doesn't have to mean better.
Is Reiki with Sound suitable for me?
Because this experience includes sound and physical vibration, with a Tibetan singing bowl placed directly on parts of the body, there are some circumstances I'd like to know about before we begin.
Please contact Sandra before booking if any of the following apply to you.
- have epilepsy or seizures that may be triggered by sound
- experience severe or sound-sensitive tinnitus
- have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic medical device
- have metal implants in an area where the singing bowl may be placed
- are pregnant
- have a health or mental health condition that makes you uncertain whether sound or physical vibration is appropriate for you
If you are unsure whether Reiki with Sound is suitable for you, please speak with your GP, consultant or other appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Your experience may be different each time.
You may be particularly aware of the sound.
You may notice the physical vibration of the bowl.
You may find your attention gradually becoming quieter.
You may notice the contrast when the sound stops and Reiki begins.
Or your experience may be completely different.
There isn't a sensation or response you are supposed to have.
Notice what you notice.

What to wear
Wear something comfortable. You remain fully clothed throughout the treatment. Because the Tibetan singing bowl is placed on the body, comfortable clothing that allows the bowl to sit safely is helpful.
Sound and physical vibration
The tuning fork is played over and around the body. The Tibetan singing bowl is placed gently on selected areas of the body, subject to suitability and your comfort.

A complementary practice
Reiki and sound are offered here as complementary wellbeing practices and are not replacements for appropriate medical diagnosis, treatment or healthcare.
If you have a health concern, continue to seek appropriate advice and treatment from your healthcare professional.
Perhaps stillness doesn't have to begin in silence.
You don't need to know which sounds you need.
You don't need to make yourself relax.
And you don't need to understand Reiki.
Listen.
Feel.
Then allow the experience to become quieter.
