The experience of sound

Everything is Welcome
Every session is different. Every person is different. Something is always happening.
Sometimes visible, sometimes quietly inside. Sound releases, touches layers that words often can’t reach. What I witness during my sessions moves me every time.
The reactions are so diverse, and all equally meaningful.
Some people receive images or memories
someone returned to her childhood, to a place filled with warmth and safety
someone else suddenly saw a father figure, while the connection with his real father is strained
Others feel physical sensations
someone felt her entire body tingling, down to the bones
someone became very warm, then suddenly cold
someone said: “I felt my left brain hemisphere heating up, so strange”
someone had hip pain, as if something old was shaken loose
Sometimes an emotional wave appears
someone had a vision, as if she had entered a dream
someone said: “I felt so high, from now on I’ll come to you before I go partying”
someone got angry during the Gong, it triggered something deep inside
and someone looked me in the eye and said: “you’re my hero, my angel”
Sometimes emotions are released
I’ve seen people cry. Softly, or deeply from the belly. And that’s okay. In fact, it’s beautiful.
Let it go.
Don’t hold back.
Let it flow.
You don’t need to explain anything.
You don’t have to share.
You can share, but you’re also welcome to stay in your own calm space.
Time feels different
someone said: “it felt like time stood still, like I was gone for hours, even though it was just one”
another felt as if he left his body, “floating above himself, but without fear”
Stillness afterwards
someone shared: “after the session I felt a kind of silence in my head I’ve never felt before”
another said: “I didn’t know I could be this calm, without even trying”
someone else noticed their heartbeat slow down and said: “for the first time in weeks, I didn’t feel rushed”
Inner clarity:
someone received a sudden answer to a question they had been carrying for a long time
another said: “there were no emotions, just clarity, as if something finally clicked into place”
And sometimes… people snore
Yes, that happens too. People relax so deeply they drift off completely. During private sessions, that’s absolutely fine. In group sessions, I may gently tap a shoulder — just out of respect for the others. No judgment. Just gently returning.
Everything is welcome
There’s no right way to experience Sound Meditation.
It’s not a performance. Not a test. Not a therapy.
Whatever you feel, or don’t feel, is welcome.
There is nothing to be ashamed of. Nothing is strange. Everything is allowed.
We are here to slow down. To soften. To remember that we are human, with a body, with emotions, with a heart.
And that heart…can finally exhale.
