My Journey as a Sound Therapist with the RestStation Lounge

Leave a comment

12/28/17

My next session with the RestStation Lounge after being away from it for two weeks.  First, I’ll say that I felt the effects within 3 days of not being on the Lounge.  Muscles that I had released tension from were tense again and I had limited range of motion in my neck.

 

I decided to do the Hypothyroid to give my metabolism a jump-start during the busy holiday season.

 

It was late at night when I did this sound session.  I crossed ankles left over right.  I could feel the vibration in my thyroid and throat chakra.  It was also running up my arms from where my hands were placed palm down on the Lounge.   The vibration traveled down my legs to my knees but didn’t seem to go lower

 

]It felt really long when it was only 20M.  At one point, I bent my knees and put my feet on the Lounge because I know my whole body can be treated on the points on my feet.  At one time, I had the thought this might not be the best session to do before going to bed.

 

I was thinking about a weight-loss treatment for folks with hypothyroidism; and what I would accompany the session with to take it to a whole person treatment.

 

I was thinking about the person who might want to come once a week for a session for weight loss – either man or woman.  The session I would do in conjunction with this is for the lymph system; which will help with water retention and blockages in the emotional body.

 

Together with the thyroid treatment, it is a powerful combination to treat the physical and emotional aspects of weight gain, helplessness, the lymph drainage and stimulation of the thyroid gland.

My next session with the RestStation Lounge …

It didn’t happen!  My laptop went on the fritz!  Something was wrong with my laptop, not the Lounge.  I spent two days with a blue screen and a message that said, “We are updating your online security.”  What??!!

 

I had never seen anything like this on my computer.  It stayed there for two days.  Just a blue screen with that sentence on it.  Honestly, it freaked me out because so much of what I do is stored on that laptop.

 

Fear can be all-consuming sometimes.  Does anyone know what I’m talking about here?

I was so afraid that my laptop was irreparably broken and then what would I do.  I certainly didn’t have the money to replace it right now.  Additionally, I couldn’t use it with the RestStation Lounge.

 

It took me 3 days to get everything working correctly on my computer again.  God bless troubleshooting.  Although the additional systems installed with Windows 10 can be extremely frustrating if you choose to not use them as they slow the other functions down.  I’m not going off into a computer lesson or tangent here, so back on track.

 

What I did notice, blew my mind.  By the fourth day of not being able to use the RestStation Lounge, I noticed my neck was getting stiffer and my range of motion was getting more limited.  You might remember, I had been diagnosed with pinched nerves in my neck resulting from an injury at work.

 

My immediate response was to get my tuning forks and get on the BioMat.  For those of you who are not familiar with the BioMat, it is a 1 1/2″ thick mat that goes on a massage table or floor.  It has amethyst crystals in it, moves infrared heat through it and negative ions to create an energetic field of about a foot around it.  That includes the person laying on the mat.  (I’m a distributor of the BioMat as well.)  The pillow that comes with the mat has different crystals in it and creates a cooling sensation in the head as the infrared works with the rest of the body.

 

Anyway, I digress.  I spent hours on the BioMat.  Seriously, 3-4 hours a day to try to continue the progress on my neck and head that I had achieved on the RestStation Lounge.  I used OM Unison and OM Octave tuning forks on my head and neck to try to release the increasing tension I could feel building up again.  The migraine was like an echo circling on the right side of my head.  Nothing like before when I had to get a nerve block after 3 weeks of having it; but it was a shadow back where the migraine had been.

 

It’s been a week without the RestStation Lounge! while I’m trying to figure out how to get another electronic device to hook up the sound and vibrational frequency programming to the Lounge.  The potential sessions are on the internet.

 

I also discovered during this time, you can use YouTube and put those sound sessions through the Lounge as well.  That means not only do I have access to all the sessions programmed through http://pathways2purpose.org for the Lounge, but access to thousands of sound and vibrational sessions on YouTube

 

Here’s the part that really threw me.  My range of motion in my neck has decreased significantly without the daily use of the RestStation Lounge.  Wow!!

By significantly, I mean back to 1-2″ range of motion in all directions with my neck.  The pain has escalated to where I’ve been giving the pharmaceuticals they prescribed for me longing glances.

 

I’ve managed the pain and avoided taking pharmaceuticals with tuning forks and the BioMat.  However, without the RestStation Lounge included in my treatment protocol, I seem to be stuck.

 

I knew the RestStation Lounge was doing amazing things with the pain, nerves and range of motion in my neck; but even I did not realize how amazing!

 

I’ve made arrangements to get a Chromebook to enable me to get back on the Lounge and do additional sessions.   I’m expecting that to arrive today.  I’m excited to see the difference in my physical pain, range of motion and general health and well-being once I am again able to use the Lounge.

 

Stay posted!

I don’t know if you are half as excited as I am at this experience!?  I intended to be my experimental guinea pig in this process; but even I did not realize how much that would be true.  The universe is definitely in control here.

 

Thanks for being a part of this journey with me so far.

My next session with the RestStation Lounge …

Anger Management – Duration 20:45

I chose this session because I often get angry driving and have pretty bad road rage.  Lately I’m angry at a lot of things; like how the price of everything is going up – insurance, gas, groceries, rents, flights, food, clothing – most of what a person needs to survive much less thrive.  The problem is salaries are NOT going up and companies are demanding so much more from employees without giving them adequate raises that many people are suffering just trying to make ends meet.  Can you relate to what I’m talking about?

 

I struggle with patience and releasing this anger at times.  As a therapist, I have lots of tools to help me manage and release this and sometimes it just gets overwhelming.  Do you know what I mean?

 

When working with sound as a therapist, I work with the liver to release stagnant energy (anger) in the body.  It helps to keep me calmer.  I was curious if the Lounge would do the same thing.

 

It didn’t.  At least not in the same way as tuning forks would do so. Although I didn’t feel anything specifically in the liver, I found the vibrations and frequencies to be very relaxing.

 

I was actually quite startled when the sound and frequency treatment stopped.  It pulled me back very strongly from a place the sound and vibration took me.  I was very surprised because I didn’t feel like I had gone that deep;  but I obviously had.

 

I decided to balance the first session with a second session at the same time to treat another level of the physical body by lifting depression in the emotional body as well.

 

Lifting Depression – Duration = 20:01

I laid back down on the Lounge after recording my notes from the previous session, set the next one I wanted to do and laid back down.

 

The session started fine, but within 3 minutes my computer shut down again.  Without boring you with the details here, I tried several times with the same results and was unable to get everything working again.  My laptop kept shutting down and I got nervous about damaging it as I need it for my work.

 

At that point, I contacted Gary Ferguson to see if anyone else had any of these difficulties with the Lounge and if there was anyway it could damage or short out my computer.  Gary reassured me that the Lounge could not do such a thing; and the laptop was only providing the sound and vibration through a receiver to the Lounge through a USB cord.  Additionally, with thousands of Lounges in circulation, no one had experienced anything like what I was going through.

My next session with the RestStation Lounge…

Healing Regeneration and Wound – Duration = 29:49

I started this session with my legs crossed, left over right and could feel vibrations strongly in my calves.  From there, it went to my back behind my heart very strong.

 

I could feel it resonating down my legs and across my mid-back the strongest.  I reached the same spot on the sound/frequency program and the system popped and shut down.  Twice.

 

The first time, I thought it was some kind of glitch and maybe I had set things up incorrectly.  I couldn’t figure out how, because it is very straightforward and simple to set up and connect to your electronic device.

 

I was using my laptop and it shut off my computer both times.  I went through all the motions to get it back up and running and in the same spot it did it again.

 

I give up today.  I don’t believe in coincidences, so I will try again tomorrow and see if the same thing happens again.

My next session with the RestStation Lounge:

Energize and Re-Charge – Duration = 32:08

 

The energetic part of this treatment was immediate for me.  First the waves which I think calm most people, as it establishes an emotional connection with relaxation, the beach, stress release and release of negative emotion.

 

When listening, I could feel the sound filling places which had released earlier either physically or emotionally.  I think one of the most important things as a sound therapist to notice is what is invited into those released spaces?

 

When you do a sound and vibrational session with someone to clear something from their field, do you then invite a new energy in to fill that space?  Or do you leave it?  If so, how long before you or your client has taken back on the issue that was originally released?

 

I invited re-charge (or what I call reset) and re-energized those spaces that previously held dis-ease or lack of resonance in the body.  For instance, if I clear and release stress, then I would invite peace or serenity or acceptance to energetically fill the empty space in my field.

 

I find this helps in NOT taking back on the energy of what you released in a session either with yourself or a client.

 

What do you do?

 

One of the great things about the RestStation Lounge (and there are several) is that it is set at zero gravity.  When you lay on it you are in a space of total comfort and held without any participation on your part.  You can also connect to other sound healing attunements that are available on YouTube and run them through the lounge.

 

It comes with access to lots of programs and I’ve been working through those; but I just briefly listened to a sound and vibrational healing for inflammation on YouTube and ran it through the Lounge.

 

The really exciting thing was that it picked up the frequencies and vibrated them through the Lounge along with the sound.  I was very impressed with this capability and the experience.  I was also very excited at what that meant on another level.  Not only did I have access to all the programs through

http://pathways2purpose.org

but this meant I also could access thousands of other sound and frequency healing sessions available on YouTube as well.

 

That literally put thousands of sessions at my fingertips for myself, veterans and my other clients.

My next session with the Reststation Lounge…

Angel – Duration = 30:28 min

I didn’t feel any vibration.  I kept expecting it and missed it.  There was one crystal bowl – very loud, frequency was off for me.  I found it very annoying, and actually took the headphones off my ears.

 

There was another spot where I expected the sound and vibration to get lighter and more etheric and it did the exact opposite and got lower and thunderous.

 

It felt agitating to me.  I could guess it was for grounding to then take it to a higher level, but it felt yucky to me for some reason.  I wanted it to stop.  It felt/sounded like the “da da DA” in a movie or something.  I’ll do a balance because my energy field feels really off in my higher chakras now.

 

This was completely unexpected for me.  I expected to have a totally different experience.

 

Same Day

Immediate next session with the Lounge

Chakra Balancing – Duration = 30m

 

It definitely felt like my chakras were balanced with the sound and vibration of the bed.  However, I still felt a loss in the upper chakras.

 

I wanted more of the vibration I feel when working with other sound tools like tuning forks and/or bowls when they are placed on the body of a person.  I intend on trying it with a bowl at a later time, or the Chakra Tuning forks for the upper levels.

 

The Lounge vibration and energy feels like it is targeting the lower physical body and chakras than coming all the way up through the 6th, 7th and 8th chakras.

 

I’ve since had this conversation with the designer of the Lounge, Gary Ferguson.   We’ve discussed how to include things in the design of the Lounge to bring the sound and vibrational attunement up into the higher levels of the body.

My next session with the Reststation Lounge…

Children of the New Earth – about 50 minutes

Honestly, I chose this session because I feel like I am one and might need a tune up in this area. 😊

 

It felt really long to me.  I don’t know if I had it set up right or not.  I kept waiting for the vibration which never happened.  At one point my entire face and head had a very hot, tight feeling.

 

I even reached up and touched my face.  I feel very tired and am going to lie down.  My ears feel tight.  This comment sounds weird even to me; and I’m a little dizzy.  Although I have been off-balance because of a previous injury.

 

This makes me realize I’ve had a rebalancing of my energies and a re-alignment of my vibration.
