Sound Massage
Background
Since the early eighties, the German engineering graduate in Physical Technology, Peter Hess, has been looking more and more into the effect that sound has on people. In the search for alternative healing methods, he made numerous trips to India, Nepal and Tibet. Experiences with traditional healers and observations in the Newar, the oldest ethnic group in the Kathmandu valley, demonstrated to him the importance of sound in the traditional healing. During his travels Peter Hess experienced on his own body. Based on his manifold experience with sound, he started to work with singing bowls. His investigations and experiments on the effect of traditional music on the human mind and body form the basis for the sound massage. Returning to Germany, he passed on his newly acquired knowledge and experience. The positive results led to a rapid development of his method. He developed a flexible system of feedback from the practice and development of the method - for as the sound itself, so is the Peter Hess sound massage method - in motion. The result of this work is the Peter Hess®-Sound Massage.
The gentle and harmonious sounds of gong and Tibetan singing bowls are absorbed through the ear and quickly lead to deep, long lasting relaxation. The rhythmic sound vibrations are transmitted to the body. Sound massage creates an atmosphere of safety and security, in which it is possible to let go - letting go of stress, anxiety, worry and feelings that impact negatively on our health. In this soothing atmosphere, we can again come in contact with our needs, our "inner wisdom". We experience our bodies in a comforting feeling - it may take some time for the first time since rediscovering true.
According to ancient Eastern teachings the universe and mankind were created from sound, therefore man is sound. When a sick man is “nourished” by the right kind of sounds, the cells in his body start to vibrate and re-organize themselves according to their divine blueprint.
