The magic of sound healing and why I’m so passionate about it
my story
“I’ve had a long-winding path to finding my passion for sound-healing. It had become normal, pushing myself to my limits as we tend to do in a busy rushed society. As a parent, real estate agent of 16 years, goldfields driller, cray fisherman, kickboxer and iron man, I’ve worn many hats.
It wasn’t until I experienced Qi Gong and Dao that I ultimately formed a basis for my initial passion for sound and movement. After that first initiation, I received a big push in 2010 that saw many extreme lifestyle changes; I moved towns, spent a year in isolation and, within 6 months, became plant-based, alcohol-free and ceased gambling, leading to a life-changing weight loss of over 50 kg.
Since experiencing that level of phenomenal personal transformation through sound, it was clear to me that this work was profound and I’ve found it to be one of the safest ways to heal myself and others in conjunction with a daily yoga practice and Ayurvedic food discipline. My goal is to invite others into a space of deep healing that I’ve been cultivating mindfully since 2012. With so much uncertainty in the world right now, there’s nothing I see more important than protecting, healing and honing our personal energies so that, even in fear, we can show up for ourselves and the ones we love” - Ty Criddle

why sound healing?
Scientific research shows that even the simple act of humming can be therapeutic! When you're out of sync with a part of yourself or your environment, you’re in a state of dissonance. This dissonance can cause dis-ease and stress — and, over time, lead to chronic illness and other imbalances.
Humming, toning, chanting, and many other sound-healing modalities used as daily self-soothing practices can diminish stress, lower your heart rate, and help you sleep better. Particularly now, when so many are experiencing disturbed sleep patterns and anxiety about the intensifying crises in our world, sound healing is a 100% natural tonic that's been proven effective for inducing calm and balancing the nervous system.
These approaches are not new. For thousands of years, cultures from around the world have used vibrational medicine to treat illness, revitalise the body, and elevate the spirit. Every living being (in fact, everything in the universe!) is in a state of vibration. Meaning every part of you — from your organs, to your bones, tissues, electromagnetic field and even the fluid in your cells — has an optimal vibrational frequency.
Today, medical practitioners use sound healing to treat depression, panic attacks, sleep challenges, and more… Some physicians are even treating fibromyalgia, digestive issues, and other disorders with sound-healing therapies.
Sound therapy has led to remarkable success in lessening the tremors in Parkinson’s patients, calming autistic adults, and facilitating stillness to activate deep healing. Subtle (yet powerful) therapeutic and restorative sound can harmonize your entire being.
