Sound is an Effective Complement for the Healing touch practitioner for Releasing Emotional Blocks
If you are a Healing Touch practitioner, you have helped many clients release emotional blocks. Sound can be a great complement to assisting your client in releasing emotional energy or dissolving blocks.
Clearing old emotional blocks has a huge benefit to health. Sometimes we don’t even know that they’re there until they have been loosened up and start moving. Sound, either on a CD or your own voice is a powerful complement to use along with healing touch to help this process.
Every Emotion has a Sound!
Sound is defined as vibrational energy. It is a physical energy that pushes against atoms and molecules as it moves, traveling faster through the body than through the air. Sound works at the cellular level where many of these emotional blocks are stored.

Every emotion has a sound. These sound signatures have been measured scientifically by Manfred Clynes and are called Sentic Forms. Sound, especially the sound of the voice, can be used to unwind these emotions.
Using Sound with your Client
Here is an overview of how you can use this with a client:
- As you begin to work with releasing a block or emotional energy, ask your client to send her awareness to that area of her body.
- Have her ask this emotional energy for its sound. Then ask her to allow that sound to be expressed through the voice.
- As your client expresses the sound, you match the sound and express it with your client along with the healing touch. Matching your client’s sound is a way for you to guide and support the release. Your voice, along with your intentions, also amplifies and focuses the effect of dissolving or clearing the block.
- As you go through this process, check in with your client to find out if the block has moved, if the sound has changed or if the process is complete.
- When the process is complete and the emotional energy is released, you can ask your client for a sound for that area which will fill it with light and life energy. Or use the process you usually do at this point in the treatment.
Our emotions have great power over our state of health and general harmony in our lives. They also have a deep connection with the subconscious mind. For many of us, healing has to do with clearing some of these old emotional blocks and the more tools we have in our toolkit, the better. Sound is a great tool. It is the stuff of creation itself and works at all levels of our being.
