RAYO SOUND journeys
for Humans & Animal Friends
what is a sound journey?
Nature and I play with sound together to guide you on a spontaneous journey of transformation. Using guided meditation, animal imagery and embodiment, Qigong, vocals, and percussion, I intuit an experience to help you relax, release physical and emotional tensions, and open to new potentials. We hold this session outside in Nature, where the wind, birds, trees, flora, and fauna chime in to enthusiastically support your brave self-exploration. I use vocal toning, overtone singing, Kargyraa deep voice, simple percussion instruments, and I do not use any digital devices. The wind and local avian friends enhance the intention of the session at just the right moments to create absolute magic. You may arrive with your own intention for transformation or healing, or you may just surrender and allow the experience to unfold perfectly. Journeyers often emerge feeling fully relaxed, free of emotional burdens, supported, soothed, and comforted. Please read “Why Sound?” and “Client Reviews” below. I’m thrilled to share our stunning Nature and this powerful sound experience - let Nature guide you.
Journeys are fully intuitive and are not timed, though they usually last 45-60 minutes, give or take. I provide chairs, and I encourage you to bring your favorite mat if you’d like to sit on the ground or lie down. We often have plenty of shade from trees, but I encourage you to bring sun protection too. Please bring water - hydration is important when we move energy through the body with sound.
Individual Journeys - 1 hour, $120
Group Journeys - duration and cost tailored to your group size, please inquire for arrangements
for you & your pet
Animals LOVE grounding and soothing sound experiences too! I offer Sound Journeys for animals on their own, or for you and your beloved animal friend together. Animals feel much more sensitively than humans. Healthy animals move energy through their bodies constantly and will experience less stuck energy as physical or emotional tension. Animals who are experiencing an energy blockage often find relief and release through carefully crafted sound sessions. The sonic waves help move the energy blockage, allowing them to re-ground themselves, and thereby feel relief physically and emotionally, often quickly. Both domesticated animals - dogs, horses, etc - and wildlife gather around as I play with vocal toning. Some will release and ground themselves and others will drift into slumber. If your animal friend is experiencing a deeper physical or emotional energy blockage, I will interweave Qigong practices with sound to help release that deeper blockage.
Our animal friends reflect our human energy, emotions, and behaviors. A Sound Journey for owner and pet together can be transformative for the relationship and often opens up more expanded connection, understanding, and partnership for the pair.
Whether offering a Sound Journey for animals on their own or for owner and pet together, it is important that animals be relatively free to move about (i.e. dogs off leash, horses free of tack, etc). Animals use movement on micro and macro levels to move energy through their bodies, so they need to be allowed to express themselves physically for sound to have its greatest effect. For these sessions, I bring the Sound Journey to you and your environment, or to a quiet, familiar location where your animal friend feel safe. Sound Journeys with animals tend to be shorter in duration, likely 15-30 minutes.
Time and cost are tailored to your pet’s needs and location, please inquire to make booking arrangements.
why sound?
WORK IN PROGRESS:
As all life is made up of energy at the quantum level, Sound is energy, the human body is the same at a denser level, manifested reality is just dense frequency … the frequency of sound waves compels the energy of tangible life … the greater the frequency or more aligned it is with the frequency of the receiver, the more compelling it is to denser forms, ENTRAINMENT … slow rhythmic beats of 4-12hz can bring our brain wave frequency down to a meditative Alpha and Theta states, bring our nervous system into the PSNS, where the body can restore and repair itself more effectively … vocal toning lowers blood pressure, tones vagus nerve, releases endorphins … OFFER RESEARCH LINKS HERE
client reviews
Chris, San Francisco:
“What an amazing experience! I’ve never done anything like this, right away Hilary made me comfortable and safe to try something new. My first session took me to a place of knowing I am deeply grounded in my body/Spirit. For days and days nothing moved me off of this deep centered and grounded knowing. On my second session through the sounds, her voice, drum, and chimes I was guided out of my body to join my animal guide. My take away was a very clear feeling of flow. Just move and flow with the energy around me and in me. I knew it was a deep time because it took me quite a while to come back. The Ranch is welcoming and Hilary is a powerful guide.”
Chevi, Santa Rosa:
“Take a sound journey with Hilary! You will be grateful you did. I have journeyed with Hilary several times now, each time unique and different than the last. Hilary is adept at blending organic sounds with the raw noises of nature in a way that delights both body and mind. Her process is gentle and intuitively tailored to you in a way that must be experienced to be understood! You may feel lasting side effects such as calmness, enhanced presence, mental ease and even joy! Thank you Hilary!”
Bonnie, Rohnert Park:
“Hilary's Sound Journeys are memorable. Each session feels like being wrapped in a soft warm blanket. Deeply comforting.”
Grace, Santa Rosa:
“My experience of the sound journey with Hillary felt like a gift of release. In the stillness of my body and conscience the sounds carried me through this immersing feeling of energy that allowed for me to really surrender and let go. At moments I could feel the built up or stored thoughts and feelings bubbling out of me, it was like my energy was boiling over and it all evaporated. She planted thoughts and we all set our personal intentions which also led to beautiful imaging for me, almost tangible, so real and eye opening. Over all the journeys I’ve taken part of have been memorable and giving!”
