On today’s show, I talk with Daniel Bastacky about Ayurveda and Sound Therapy. Daniel works with sound bowls and other instruments of sound to relax, heal, and balance people on physical, mental and emotional levels. Sound bowls produce a high-quality energy and vibration which can penetrate deep into a person’s physiology, shifting stagnant energy and opening up areas in the body that have felt blocked.

Daniel and I chat about the clarity and feelings of wholeness and nourishment that can come through sound therapy. When we feel this nourishment on a subtle level, our needs and our stress levels decrease and we feel full, open, and interconnected. Listen in and learn how you can bring sound therapy into your life in order to deeply nourish your cells, calm your nervous system, relieve stress, and create unity consciousness for the betterment of all.

I rap with Daniel Bastacky about Sound Therapy:

• How sound quiets the mind, relaxes the body, and moves energy
• The experience of unity consciousness and the physical and spiritual benefits of sound bowls
• Three different ways in which we take in sounds and why we can sometimes feel sound in our nervous system
• The difference between resonance and dissonance

What you’ll get out of tuning in:

• What happens when you tune into the subtle elements of your physiology
• How sound bowls and sound therapy work within our bodies and energy fields
• How to create your own sound therapy and use it in your everyday life
