Sound Healing Session with a Musician

Many are drawn to have a [sound healing] session for the profound experience that only sound can deliver-of being immersed in healing tones from Tibetan bowls, drums, crystal singing bowls and the like.

I really love my sessions with musicians and singers because of their innate understanding of how deeply healing music & song can be.

Tears rolled down his fast as his soul experienced the climax of a Tibetan and crystal singing bowl mix that could never be duplicated. I sensed his soul dancing among notes, musical notes flooded his aura and being, removing “writers block” and his old definition of how he should write.

Later I sent him this note:

It was such an interesting session, tuning into your being and getting all those musical notes! That’s a first even though I’ve worked with several singer’s and musicians! Today I thought how interesting it is that you’re getting back into the writing aspect…So in effect you have all the “notes” and you are deciding how to “organize” them! In that light, there is no wrong or right order…Just many possibilities!!!

His message back to me:

Hi Alice, Thank you for an amazing session yesterday. My energy is totally maximized and the flow is just awesome. I was so wired I hardly slept last night. And yes, there are so many notes. At the moment, there are so many that I can’t discern a single string of them into a song. I’m playing bits and pieces and having a blast, and that’s okay. I know it will settle down after this energy peak begins to even out and themes will begin to emerge. Right now I am a bubbling, radiating ball of energy. I feel clear, light, and positively energized. Thank you again. Fred

Sound has this way of touching the highest realms and anchoring those frequencies (whether Jesus or angels) into the body (creating healing), into the room (creating sacred space), thereby bringing consciousness (heaven)to earth!

PRESS: Sound Healing for Arthritis

"The Sweet Sounds Of Healing"
10-13-2006 -- By MICHAEL MARCIANO Editor

WINSTED — A Laurel City woman who has gained national attention using resonant sound waves to heal illnesses ranging from arthritis to depression and even cancer says she hopes people around the world will be able to share in her discoveries.

Alice Violet Richard, or Alice Violet, as she is known to her clients, lives just off Highland Lake in Winsted and has been expanding her healing service — A Unified Matter, or AUM — to health centers, spas and community fairs, where she demonstrates the use of Tibetan bowls and other instruments to create healing frequencies. The art has been so successful that it landed her on ABC’s "Good Morning America."

During an introductory session at her home Tuesday, Richard said numerous clients have reported positive results to her, including a young woman with manic depression and an older woman whose arthritic feet were healed in one session.

"Any illness or pain is the result of a lower vibratory state," Richard explained. "It becomes a block or a depression or a disease. Sound waves can pull it back — blood, bone or tissue — to its natural state."

While the idea of using humming sounds to treat cancer may produce skepticism, 75-year-old Dora Basso of Torrington said her disbelief was eliminated recently at her town’s Sullivan Senior Center, where Richard participated in a wellness fair.

"She straightened out my toes and helped me walk better through sound healing," Basso said by phone Wednesday, noting that she had recently experienced crippling arthritis in her feet. "I had no circulation. She spent about an hour on my feet. It really was amazing because I didn’t think it would work."

Basso said she had been experiencing arthritic pain in her feet for years but that the condition had grown more severe in recent weeks. "I couldn’t stand walking," she said. "And it bothered me that I couldn’t get around like I’d like to. I’m too young for that. The age is there but I don’t feel it, expecially after Alice did this for me."

Other testimonials have come from people with everything from back problems to psychiatric illnesses and the desire to quit smoking. Richard said it all boils down to "tuning up" the body and literally using sounds to "pull" its components into alignment. "Everything in the world has a natural frequency and sound can restore things to their natural state. It can literally rearrange molecular structure."

During a demonstration with this writer, Richard used a small beanbag as an eye cover to intensify the focus on sound. The client lays flat on his back on a massage table as the therapy begins. Metal bowls, tuning forks, jangling chimes, cymbals and a deep-bass tribal drum send vibrations through the body. Bowls are placed on the body and stirred and tapped to sustaining melodic hums. Richard relies on her own intuitive senses to relate her assessments and suggestions.

Richard said she fully believes sound healing can cure any illness and notes that numerous Web sites, including curezone.com, have documented countless natural recoveries. Ancient Chinese medicine suggests that certain frequencies actually burn cancer cells. At the very least, the experience can be extremely calming and spiritually significant.

"There are sounds that bombard us every day," Richard said. "There is noise pollution from appliances, traffic and other sounds every day that are not healthy. The things that are healthy are the human voice, instruments and sounds from nature. These things are in a frequency range that bring people back to a state of resonance."

After hearing about Richard’s sound healing work at the Mayflower Spa in Washington, Conn., producers at "Good Morning America" called her to come down to New York for a live demonstration in July. "It was very, very exciting," Richard said, noting that actress Uma Thurman was backstage and show host Robin Roberts was particularly impressive.

"Robin Roberts is just stunning. She is just so dynamic and has so much energy. I’m still waiting for her to call me for a session."

Sound and Lyme Disease

LYME (tick born) Disease:  Two cases of lyme, one 30's female who felt so sick she couldn't eat with severe pain when she came for her visit. We barely spoke and did a sound treatment session. The second was a male in his 30's who had such severe joint pain he needed help walking, had Lyme for two years, had two occurrences of Bells Palsy in his face, recently became very ill on third round of antibiotics, depressed, and feeling confused with recent uncontrollable emotional outbursts. Both of these clients reported a complete turnaround with one session. The female cancelled her next appointment with me and started eating the next day. The male went on a short hike right after our appointment and started small house projects the next day. When asked how he felt he said "I went shopping and for a walk after we left. I stayed up until midnight, right now I'm painting some trim and I just feel like a kid again!

Children and Sound Healing/Vocal Toning

I've recently started working with a group of children in an after school program teaching them vocal toning and introducing the Tibetan and crystal bowls, drum and other instruments.

I'll be updating my website as I continue meeting with these children and invite you to check out the changes that occur with them along with photos. www.aliceviolet.com/kidz.htm

I'm devoting another page to an autistic child that has captured my heart. I'm so excited about exploring communicating through sound. As far as I know, until now, this boy has lived in his own world apart from interaction and communication. When he heard the sounds he came over to join our group and learned how to play the bowls and drums. He held my hand and looked directly into our eyes ... This was the first time he ever joined the other children in any activity.
