SOUND HEALING
Laurel’s work in sound healing brings together a life-long interest in the healing arts and over 25 years as a singer and improviser. Since 2004, she has offered sound sessions at the Callanish Society, providing sonic support for people living with cancer. Through many years of study and ongoing experimentation, Laurel has developed a unique and intuitive approach that uses her voice and atmospheric instruments to elicit deep states of relaxation. Laurel was very influenced by her collaboration with clinical hypnotherapist Lis Smith. Together they produced the CD, “Blossomtime” for relaxation and sleep.

SOUND JOURNEYS
Sound Journeys are for people who would like to experience the power and pleasure of healing sound for deep relaxation, dream-like imagination, and meditation.
Laurel Murphy and her team of singers have been offering immersive sound experiences in Vancouver since 2010. Each session is intuitive and unique, providing a evolving tapestry of vocal, instrumental and atmospheric music designed to gently guide you on your own inner journey. Some people experience vivid imagery, some are moved by the sensory qualities of sound. Every session is improvised and created out of the energy of the moment.
Research has shown that sound vibrations penetrate the body down to our DNA, affecting cells, immune function, emotions, mind and spirit. Find out what happens when this is combined with atmospheric instruments, live looping, vocal harmonies and healing intent.
Sound Journeys can be booked for private sessions and sound blessings designed to suit the occasion. Email Laurel for more info.
