What are the benefits of Sound Healing?


Some of the benefits are the creation of resonance. The body has the ability to effortlessly receive a set of frequencies that are either harmonious or desinent to the body's natural cellular frequency. It helps to restore balance and health. The application of sound frequency has the intention to restore harmony in the human’s mind, body and soul.


What are some of the surprising conditions Sound Healing can treat?


On a body level, it helps to reduce pain or discomfort, using, for instance, a tuning fork. On the mind, sound has the ability to shift the nervous system from a stress response to rest and digest, restore, relax and repair. It reduces or eliminates emotional pressure stored at a cellular level and subconscious. It transforms consciousness, opens the channels to access to altered states, allowing for new information or messages to be received.

Can you receive Sound Healing over ear phones or does it have to happen in person?


Sound Healing can have a great impact even if we listen to a recording. Binaural beats, Theta waves, Alpha waves create deep healing. Chanting Maria Agustina Barragan at Supta Yoga where she teaches a number of different yoga modalities as well as sound healing a mantra has incredible benefits. Listening to our own unique sound will bring balance immediately.


What is something that would surprise people about the power of Sound Healing?


How quickly it works! We all like to see fast results.


What do people underestimate when it comes to the role of our ability to hear in healing?


I would say the ability to get out of the chatter of the mind and simply feel. Sound Healing is more about feeling with all senses, rather than trying to make sense of what we hear. The physical body will send signals, sensations and that is what needs to be heard. There is a lot of information there.

Are there any other important parts to Sound Healing that people should be aware of?

Yes, there are. The power of the spoken word. Our personal sound and vibration. What do we communicate? How do we do it? What do we choose to say to ourselves and others? We can receive the healings from external sound, but awareness of the spoken word could be a great way to start a healing process.

Maria Agustina Barragan (Ay Agui) has been practicing and studying different yoga modalities and healing therapies for the past seven years. She is a certified KRI Kundalini instructor, completed level 1 in Naad Yoga (sound vibration), hatha yoga and recently completed Level 1 in Bioneuroemocion. She shares her passion and devotion for meditation, breathing techniques, sound and mantra through her dynamic and unique classes at Supta Yoga Nantucket as well as online and private sessions.
