My Journey With the Reststation Lounge (9)

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…

Lymphedema with Lymph Support – about 46 minutes

Today I’m doing two sessions and I chose this one first.

I’ve been feeling my Lymph system needs support for awhile now.  I thought this session might help clear some of the side effects from prescribed pharmaceuticals for migraines and nerve pain.

 

During this session, different phases took me to different levels.  The vibrations in the lounge were settled at my hips and butt and down my legs.  I could feel the lymph in my groin area and at the top of my thighs vibrate.  Other strong lymph areas – under arms, side of throat and lower/length of ribcage didn’t feel the vibrations at this time.  I kept waiting for the vibrations to rise up the bed with the sound levels to the upper lymph areas in the body.  However, this didn’t happen.

 

I think crystals could help raise the vibration to the other lymph areas. I’ll share these findings with Gary Ferguson (the designer and manufacturer of the Lounge) and see if any changes could be made to the Lounge or if they have already been made with the newer models.  I see potentials to helps with the grid of the energy field flow and attunement with the sound and frequencies of the treatment.

 

I looked to find a complementary pairing to this session for release on an energetic level.  I want to build on one another just as I would in an individual sound session to treat the mind, body, spirit on three energetic levels.

 

Second Session Today

Addiction – Duration = 23:40

During the beginning of this treatment, I felt extreme agitation.  Sound was disruptive and not soothing at all until the waves started coming in.

I felt like something was wrong with the connection and the sound treatment and determined to check it later.

 

So funny, I just posted this and realized I obviously wasn’t supposed to do the other session on top of the one I had just done.  However, that didn’t come clear in the session at all.

 

(Second Attempt at this Session – Addiction – Duration = 23:40

What a different session this was.  It was soothing and calming when I did it on it’s own.  I noticed just a humming sound and vibration for the first minute or so, then music/sound and vibration started.  I noted different thoughts and feelings coming up and just observed and consciously released.

 

My focus and objective was to notice, not understand at that moment.   I believe addictions are rooted in the emotional body and I am treating whole bodies today – nerves, addictions, and energy 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.

 

Have you experienced something like this before?  How?  Please leave a comment below.

My next session with the Reststation Lounge…

Muscle Pain and Injury – duration 53:43 min

I decided to try the Muscle Pain and Injury session again now that my adrenals were balanced.  When I woke up this morning, I ached all over.  Literally, it felt like I had been run over by a truck and was just picking myself up off the ground.

 

Although the good news was the migraine was gone; I could barely move my head and neck.  I found my joints, ankles, knees, back, arms wrists all were in major pain to move.  I had done this same session 3 sessions ago with the adrenal stimulation in between.  Yesterday was a very busy day with a late night.  When I tried to set up a different treatment it wouldn’t work (or the Universe would not cooperate with my plan).

 

Have you ever had that happen?  When you had a plan and the Universe wouldn’t cooperate with it?  Please comment and tell me about it?

 

I did the treatment.  After it was completed, I could only go to bed.  I have a big day tomorrow, so I’m hoping to feel a big change.  Although I’ve had lots of injuries and muscle pains over the years, I found all the areas that were aching so much had sustained these injuries, breaks, surgeries and trauma.

 

The next morning I felt much better.  I know when I was sleeping the frequencies were working on a deeper level and in the morning I could definitely feel the shift.

My next session with the Reststation Lounge…

Adrenal Stimulant – duration 19:55 minutes

After this session I felt discombobulated.  It was hard to write now and I had to take a break for water and grounding.

 

At first, I was worried it wasn’t working right because there was no vibration happening in the lounge.  I got up, checked the settings and restarted the session.  Still no vibration.  I decided to let go of that and listened to the sounds.  I realized I liked it louder as I wanted to be immersed in the sounds.  As soon as I did, I discovered I could feel the sound in the headset resonating in my adrenals.  A few minutes later, the Lounge started vibrating.  This was focused mostly at the base of my spine; although my adrenals were where I first recognized the frequencies and vibrations.

 

Every time I heard and felt the vibration and frequencies at my adrenals it was like they were being shaken awake.  The words “jump started” came to mind, like a battery that was dead being re-charged.

 

The vibration then started moving down my legs which were crossed R over L.  I heard the ocean and would breathe deeply and release quickly each time.  Then it shifted to another level – upper back and adrenals.  I changed my legs and crossed L over R.  Heard the ocean again and deep breaths (3x) with a quick release.

 

Vibration moved back to the base of my spine and into my adrenals.  I uncrossed my legs and found myself off-kilter in more than 2 places at once.  Then it came into balance.

 

I thought this was very interesting and definitely related to the crossing/uncrossing of the ankles.  It felt more balanced and evened-out after uncrossing.  Like something opened and shifted and flowed more evenly.

 

I saw more visuals with this treatment.  A man was handing something to me, although I couldn’t tell what.  It was like a video running in my peripheral vision until I looked at it.  Then it stopped.

 

If you are interested in talking to me more specifically about the Reststation Lounge please use the contact me form on this page.

I look forward to hearing from you.

My next session with the Reststation Lounge…

 

I decided to do a session with Muscle Pain and Injury which lasts about 53 minutes.

 

I noticed there were distinct levels and shifts in the sound and vibrational frequencies in this session.  I started with ankles crossed right over left.  Palms down. ¾ setting on sound and vibration.

 

I could feel the vibration in my hands, and hips down my legs for the first set/level of the treatment.

 

Then, it moved to my hips, midsection and lower back in the second set/level of the treatment.  My heart – I could feel the frequency and sound swell in my chest and it made me take a few deep breaths and let go.  This just happened on my own.  It felt natural to do so.

 

I noticed ocean waves were included but also signaled moving to another level with the treatment.  At that time, I uncrossed my ankles and switched left over right.  Again, just went with my guidance and did what felt right.  I felt very grounded and alert in sound when listening to the ocean waves, yet barely able to move from the vibration in my body.

 

The next set (shift) in sound and frequency I found myself wishing the frequency would go to my neck, head and above.  It didn’t do that.  So at that point in time, I consciously began running energy through my field (I teach this) to open earth/cosmic clearing of my energy including my head and neck in alignment with the sound and vibrations from the Lounge.

 

It shifted to another level in the sound/vibration (set).  After running energy, I could feel vibration rise above my heart to the throat level and I toned out loud some sacred name vowels taught by Jonathan Goldman.

 

Next set – Gold Light burst in my head and colors and visions started pulsing with sound and vibrations.  Ocean waves again.  I could see pictures moving so fast I couldn’t really make sense of them.  As a clairvoyant I often ‘see’ things like this but it felt like a cleansing had happened.

 

I took 3 deep breaths in with a quick exhale three times in a row.  I uncrossed my ankles and legs and immediately felt more vibrations in my legs then.  Thoughts were:  I wanted it to stop as it felt too long to me.  Then a short interval and the next step started.  I felt each level (set) in body and accumulated years of pain shift and crack open.  I was not re-experiencing the pain, but feeling the shift as the energy opened up.

 

The intervals of ocean waves and sounds are the vibrations that reached my head.  I was wanting a crystal grid in the Lounge to channel vibrations to my entire energetic field in an up/down flow in addition to the levels  (sets) that moved the frequencies around.

 

It made me think of the amethyst crystals in the Biomat (sessions offered at Above and Beyond Wellness Center) and how to incorporate crystals in the Lounge as conductors of sound and vibration into the bed at top and bottom to better include the head and energetic field in the sound frequency treatment.  I had ideas on how to connect them for electromagnetic balancing as well.

 

Aside –

I was looking at treating myself on the Lounge as I would a client in a treatment.  If I wanted to work on my nerve impingement in my neck, then I would have levels to include in the treatment.  I started with the muscle pain and injury for any past injuries associated with my neck and this area of my body.  My thinking was to treat this layer first as a foundation and build on that.

My Journey with the Reststation Lounge … (3)

A friend came to visit.  She’s been out of work for about 3 months and was getting really depressed about getting a new job.  She was having a hard time getting out of bed, dressed to do anything, and going out.  In other words, low ambition and desire to do anything.

 

Kay (which is what I’ll call my friend) agreed to try a session on the Reststation Lounge.  She is one of the original non-believers in this type of stuff (as she would say).  However, she knew something needed to change in how she felt and was willing to give it a try.

 

I find people are willing to try something out of their comfort zone when they are DESPERATE and the alternatives look bleak.  Otherwise, they’ll hang onto their discomfort as long as they possibly can even though the medical community might be repeatedly putting a band-aid on the symptoms vs. treating the original problem in the emotional body or energy field.

Do you have any comments or experiences on this?  Can you relate or disagree with this statement?

I can relate as I’ve been desperate in the past, consumed by pain and then went to sound and vibrational medicine as the alternative.  Now, I do things the other way around.  I still believe both traditional medicine and alternative medicine need to work hand in hand for treating the whole person for optimal healing.

 

Reststation Lounge

Kay laid on the lounge.  I asked her to place her hands palm down on the lounge and put the headphones on her head.  The neck pillow in place and a blanket over her completed the process after testing volume.  She crossed her ankles.  I reminded her to take some deep breaths to shift things energetically when she felt she needed to do it.  She agreed to do so.

Her session was:  Lifting Depression and lasted 20 minutes

After she completed the session, I asked her to just lay there and absorb for a few minutes before moving and let the sound and vibration settle.  When she joined me in the other room, she looked different.  Some of the lines in her face were gone and she looked more relaxed.  After drinking some water, (I recommend this for grounding) we discussed what she felt or didn’t feel during the session.  She said she was feeling less anxious, more patient and more relaxed.

 

I thought okay.  About an hour later, Kay said she was pretty tired and was heading home.  That told me the vibrational energy was still working on a deeper level.  I called the next day to check in with her.  She said she was really tired and had gone to bed early.  She slept like a rock.  She said she woke up the next morning in a great mood and was noticing how much more patient she was driving (this is a BIG deal for Kay) and happier in general.

 

A week later, I asked Kay if she could share feedback about the Reststation Lounge session.  She said she was shocked that she was still enjoying the benefits of feeling happier, more patient and generally in a better mood.  This was a week after the 20m session.

 

I told her she would soon have a job and to expect it in November.  I am happy to say this happened and she is starting her new job next week.

The Reststation Lounge Journey Continues(2)

Leave a comment

My first self-session on the Lounge:

I remembered a conversation with Gary where he suggested I cross my ankles during the sound and vibrational sessions on the Lounge.  I thought it was funny because it went against everything I was doing in my own personal sessions with clients.  I would ask people to uncross arms and legs for energy flow.  This gave me a chance to connect with them psychically and read their energy field as a High Self Channel.  (I teach this class).  It also allowed the energy being released to easily flow out of the body and the field.  For me, this was contraindicative to what I’d been doing for the last 25 years with energy work.  I’m nothing if not an adventurer!

 

How about you?  What have you done adventurously with sound and vibration lately?

 

I digress.

The first session I chose to do was the one I was interested in doing with my form of sound and vibrational therapy with Veterans…for PTSD.  On the Reststation Lounge this was a 30 minute treatment.  My intention was set to experience the treatment and evaluate it from my perspective as sound practitioner and teacher. Additionally, what way I would treat someone and experience the Lounge for what it offered and write about it.

 

I decided when I finished the session, I would sit and make my notes before I moved.

 

I did as instructed.  I shut off the lights, got a blanket, chose the appropriate program, put on the headphones, adjusted the volume and vibration, placed the neck pillow, put my hands palms down on the Lounge and crossed my ankles.  Then I pushed play.

 

This first session for PTSD – I fell asleep!  I woke up an hour and a half later!  I don’t remember much of anything and will try again later and document those results.

 

However, in my long experience as a sound and vibrational medicine therapist I know when someone has fallen asleep during a session they are receiving the healing on a much deeper level and passing the conscious mind in the process.

 

What you don’t know is I had recently been in the hospital for a pinched nerve in my neck and severe migraines going on 3 weeks.  This was still happening when I did this session.  The medical community is talking about steroid injections in my head and neck.

 

I’m talking about sound and vibrational alternative medicine.  And that doesn’t mean sticking needles in places I don’t want them; injecting pharmaceuticals into my body in places I don’t want that either.

 

I can almost hear folks who’ve done things like this and found relief.  I’m not judging you or calling this procedure wrong.  All I’m saying is there’s another way to treat things as a whole person.  That is all part of what this exploration is about in my humble opinion.

 

    More coming …
