Sound healing day workshop          -Gina Lourance
''Last night I attended a workshop on the power of sound at the Health-Plex in Dublin .  It was facilitated by Marta Toropow.  She has such a beautiful energy .  Check out Marta albums and sample the music on her Web site.  

This workshop focused on the use of Tibetan  bowls and  gongs flute,shruti box Tibetan bowls were tuned to the vibration of the sacral and heart chakra.The other instrument was healing tuned pipe produce 528Hz sound. The miraculous frequency for transformation and DNA repair .  Marta used litlle Zen bowl tuned to the crown chakra which nurtures our spiritual connection and helps us understand and integrate ideas and levels of consciousness  Added to the mix was chanting, which in it's own right, is a powerful healer.  Especially when coupled with intention and affirmation.

Marta is using  Paiste Planet  Venus Gong  specialized tools for rejuvenation, harmony and well being. Planet Gongs acquire their name because the fundamental tone of each Planet Gong is based on the fundamental orbital and vibrational frequency of a corresponding celestial body in our solar system.

Recently, I've been more drawn to chanting or using my voice as a healing tool.  I am NOT a confident vocalist.  I hate the sound of my own voice.  I love to sing, I always have, but I'm pretty sure no one wants to hear it.  Thus, I generally sing when I am alone in the car.  Loudly.  :-)  I love to express how music makes me feel through dance and movement. This I am more comfortable with.

Last night we were able to use the power of sound, affirmation and intention to release and heal ourselves and then used focused intention and energy to facilitate others in their healing.  It's a powerful experience.  Almost tribal in nature.  When guided by the powerful vibrations of the tibetan  bowls and gong along with the vocalizations of Marta, it was easy to 'get into it'.

In actuality, I went because that was exactly what I needed to process some emotional  and physical 'baggage'.  It provided a vehicle for a release I desperately needed. It provided an opportunity to shift my thoughts, energy and affirmations to continue to focus on the intention to manifest the balance I seek in my life.  It wasn't the crystal bowls I needed.  It was actually the powerful sound and energy of the gong.  It was the beautiful sounds of Marta's voice singing affirmations.  It was the chanting from my soul that cleared some of the muck and brought in the light.  It was being a part of that tribal community for just one night for the greater good of those who needed to be there.

Gong bath      Marii Flowen

....''I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a gong bath produced by Marta.During the session it was difficult to be aware of anything other than the strange and beautiful sounds that filled my ears.  The parts of my body that made contact with the floor buzzed.  Unlike with other forms of meditation where random and mundane thoughts occasionally flow through the mind, during the gong bath the only thoughts that came to me were of a spiritual nature.  By the time the session ended, I was so relaxed and calm that I didn’t want to move, speak, or even think of anything other than the peace I was experiencing.  Everyone in the room appeared to be feeling the same way and had a pleasant smile on their face...''.
