Sound waves of love

Winter 2020

Sound waves of love:

Last full moon a friend and I had the grate fortune to attend a Sound Journey in Big Sur, California. We are so blessed here on the Monterey Peninsula to have so many talented healing arts practitioners from all walks of life with different types of healing modalities. One of our blessings is Deva Munay who is a Sacred Sound Alchemist and facilitates beautiful ongoing gatherings for the community.

Over the years I have been especially drawn to these beautiful crystal bowls and their healing magic and received much value from the deep relaxation that I experienced. This time however, I was infused with a powerful transmission of healing frequencies that Deva evoked from her crystal bowls that penetrated very old internal “postures” of disharmony and misalignment.

Part of our biological structure is made up of sound waves. Every little cell has its own vibratory frequency sound wave which supports its form and function. We are like little buzzing machines on the inside. So, it makes sense that our bodies respond to sound, and positively so to sacred sounds. Not only does it soothe the nervous system, support immunity and tone our circulatory pathways, it also, I came to experience, help wake up old primordial pathways of love and connection that are embedded in every structure of the human body. This is governed by the heart and its electromagnetic field. Because the heart is the primary rhythmical regulatory center of the body, it is vital for the heart to come into alignment with its own optimal coherence. This allows us to connect more intimately with our perceptive heart field which is the largest biological system for subconscious information in the body which then becomes conscious to us when we are influenced by something as supportive and healing as the sound waves from the crystal bowls.

My immersion into the sacred sound bath was felt both physically and emotionally.

First my body started to contract back and forth up and down my spine. Some contractions were harder depending on the sound that was moving through me and some more gentle and slight. The guiding support from Deva was sweet and comforting and reminded me to stay with the breath.

As the journey continued with different notes of sound I found my body opening up deeper and deeper until I came up against a barrier, a barrier that I didn’t know existed until then. I didn't know this depth of me until I saw another closed door, another barrier. It was at this level that the singing bowls asked me to come into deeper receptivity. The frequencies came into my body and rocked asunder this crystallized "posture" of resistance and old discords that I could have never identified or reached by myself. I didn't have that particular frequency of discernment in the way that the crystal bowls had as they bathed my inside with a range of extraordinary sound waves. Those healing sounds picked up discords that I was not even aware of. Those waves crashed back and forth between the hard narrow banks that were impeding the flow of love in me. I was turned around, swirled around and as Deva kept reminding us..."allow the expansion, allow the contraction, everything is welcomed, allow it". And as I allowed it and kept on allowing it my body was rocking back and forth...contracting, expanding, contracting, expanding, contracting...and then POP!!! The banks broke apart and the flow of love opened. And the flow of love was felt deeply and I humbly stepped into the river and once again surrendered.

I surrendered to a much deeper and profound level of self I had yet to come into contact with and I realized that there is so much in the world that we have to resist and protect ourselves from. Especially subconsciously, there is so much that's bombarding us. There's so much disarray and discord in the world and we might not always be aware of how much we have to worrier through in just a single day. Toxic thoughts, toxic actions, toxic projections, toxic language, toxic food, toxic structures that we are meant to live in, toxic relationships, toxic...world.

Our bodies are so restricted. So, when asked to receive on the deeper level my body said...I can't receive because I am holding vigilance keeping away all the bad, so I can't receive anymore love. I can't receive it deeper because that means I have to open up deeper and what if the bad comes in too? and yes of course it does, it comes in too, but the love is so much greater! Love is so much greater!...that when you open up, all the toxins dissolve! All the toxins dissolve!...because the love is so much greater, greater than we can ever imagine!

This is the truth! This is the truth!...

I am humbled by this experience and the master teacher of all...Love.

The master movement of all movements has dropped me to my knees once again...

In that moment on the floor of the Big Sur Grange bathed in Sacred Sounds and surrounded by a circle of other beautiful intentional beings, I was given the gift of my own love. My love that showed me that there was yet more love to be harness and by surrendering completely and totally without fear to the Sacred Sounds, while allowing all feelings of emotions to move through my opening heart, I transformed old experiences of disconnection into active attentiveness of care and compassion.

As I sat up with this palpable pulse of truth from my heart and looked out into the space we were in, I felt viscerally vulnerable and grounded in my sensation of love flowing through my body. My beloved friend who had joined me that evening reached out his hand to stroke my shoulder and in that instant I felt the rush of love coming through his hands and I knew that my body had opened up deeper to love than ever before and was able to receive without inhibitions from stories of fear, control and disconnect. I was wide open and my internal universe was alive with love.

On my way home I felt more sober than ever before. I felt strong and confirmed in my own sovereignty. I was able to engage with my loved ones from a place of unconditional love and affection that became available one breath at a time as I kept feeling into my heart space and body. There was total acceptance of everything and everyone in my life as it were. Nothing needed to be fixed or changed in order for me to feel love, give love and receive love. Everything was perfect the way it was, as love will have it.

It has been a few weeks since this experience and its intensity has lessened a bit as the gravity of habitual everyday living takes its own toll on my being and hardwired nervous system, but I have not forgotten and neither has my heart. I’m still benefiting greatly from Deva’s Sound Journey and I believe that it’s like peeling an onion when it comes to healing layers of our lives and the events stored in the deep crevices of our bodies. This is what is so magical about Sacred Sound, it gets into every nook and cranny on all the levels of our being and support homeostasis for optimal function and overall wellness.

The more we care take of ourselves and allow ourselves to organically unwind old discords of misalignment, stuck energies and emotions, the more we are able to hold a higher frequency for our own potential for love and meaningful connections within and without.

Love is an activity…at the Grange in Big Sur during a full moon I was blessed with dancing waves of sacred sound.

InLove, Sandra Ombute Devi
