SOUND to facilitate awareness & processing, while bringing coherence and harmony back to your energetic field.
Music facilitates expanded states of consciousness, reaching depths within the psyche that words alone cannot. The psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung realised this back in 1977:
“I feel that from now on music should be a part of every analysis. This reaches the deep archetypal material that we can only sometimes reach in our analytic work with patients. This is most remarkable” (p.275)
​
Music & Sound have the potential to delve deep into our psyche, freeing us to feel what we usually are not free to feel, while also facilitating the processing of unresolved trauma. When we deep listen to music, we allow sound to touch the core of our mind, body, and spirit; opening up a healing portal where sonic vibrations can gently free us from anything that feels stuck, disconnected, or needs to be released by facilitating an altered state of consciousness (ASC). Spending time in ASC has been proven to promote cellular healing by lowering stress hormones and blood pressure, facilitating deep relaxation, and encouraging a softening of the ego state. This results in increased unified thinking, self-awareness, creativity, peace, balance, and joy.
Valentina works with ancient and modern technologies to offer a truly unique (and psychedelic) sound therapy experience. In her sessions, she plays planetary gongs, Himalayan bowls, crystal bowls, shamanic instruments, and weighted + unweighted tuning forks. Valentina also uses Ableton Live to create soundscapes with specific frequencies. These healing drones facilitate the restructuring and reorganisation of the quantum state of the cells in our body, which determines our emotional state, promoting a shift in the energetic field from chaos to harmony.
Valentina is also a trained Wavepaths practitioner— a generative music software born from the research of neuroscientist Mendel Kaelen on the therapeutic potential of psychedelics at Imperial College London. Wavepaths allows her to design a musical journey emotionally attuned to you. In our musical sessions, sound becomes the therapist (Kaelen et al., 2018) – together we share the listening experience, welcoming, being with, and integrating what arises.
