Contraindications for sound healing & energy work
Pregnancy in the 1st or 3rd trimester
Sound Travels faster through liquid and therefore the sound healing would be amplified for the child. Generally sound healing triggers the release of happy, feel good and love hormones & near transmitters so pregnant women who choose to attend can sit or lay further away from the source of the sound.
Heart conditions
If you currently have any heart issues or previously had it is wise to speak with your medical professional before attending a sound healing.
Metal Plates inside body
Although sound healing is incredibly gentle and noninvasive there is some inconclusive research as to weather people who have metal pins or plates in their body can attend. You may want to speak with your medical professional and let the sound therapist know before the session begins so they can accommodate the session for you.
Mental health issues
You can definitely receive sound healing and it can be very beneficial to your mental well being. It Is best to be prepare for the session by speaking with your practitioner in advance about any concerns you may have. They will explain that sound healing can trigger the release of emotions. Your practitioner should create a safe space where you feel comfortable to explore and process the emotions, thoughts & feelings.
Sound Sensitive & highly sensitive people
You may want to position yourself further away from the source of the sounds & request no sound is directed at you during the session.
Hearing impaired or deaf people
Sound healing can very much still benefit people who are unable to hear the sounds as we receive the healing vibrations through our body. I would suggest anyone who is hearing impaired for be closer to the instruments.
