When you've booked your appointment for your Sound Therapy session at one of the three treatment centres to suit you, Karen will send you a short health and wellbeing questionnaire which you'll need to complete beforehand so that when you arrive you won't need to spend any time form filling. Karen'll welcome you into a private treatment room where she'll talk about any specific aspects of your questionnaire which are important to the session and she'll explain how the session will work. She'll ask you to choose 4 of the 8 Solfeggio tuning forks used specifically for sound healing therapy. Solfeggio is the name given to the scale c to g as we know it, or do,re, mi, so, fa, la ti do. The notion is that each of these comes from the first syllable of each of the lines of a Gregorian hymn which translated means “So that we, the servants of the divine, may sing with tuned voices, and bring ourselves in resonance with the wonders of your vibrational universe”.

Once you have chosen your forks from the Solfeggio set you'll lie down on your back fully clothed on a comfortable and warm couch, propped up with pillows where required and covered in blankets to your requirements to keep you cosy and relaxed. You'll close your eyes and Karen will begin with a dowser to test the energy around each of your chakras, noting the results for discussion with you later. She'll then begin the Sound Therapy. She starts with the 'Om' tuning fork which is 'played' and listened to and then circled clockwise around each chakra, and Karen feels carefully for any energies which feel a bit sludgy or slow. She then uses a weighted 'Om' tuning fork to place on your feet and then on each of your chakras. She then plays the other tuning forks one by one , again listening and first and then circling around the 8 different points on the body representing each of the chakras starting with 3 forks which first Clear, then Cleanse and then Balance your energy flowing via your chakras and following with the 4 Solfeggio tuning forks you chose. The rebalancing effect of the therapy enables you to be in your proper energy, flowing through your meridians with no blockages,which brings healing, a process which is sometimes described as being akin to pressing your reset button. The sound of the forks as they vibrate is at first strange as it comes closer to your ears but as you get used to it the sound is soothing and you'll find yourself relaxing deeper and deeper as you get lost in the vibration of the sounds. You might feel a slight pressure as Karen places the forks on specific points of your body but otherwise you will only be aware of the hum of the tuning forks. After she has used the key Clear, Cleanse and Balance forks in all 8 positions Karen then repeats the whole process using each of the forks which you chose yourself, the significance and effects of which she'll set out for you afterwards to that it can bring you better self knowledge. When these forks have also been played you'll hear the sound of a small bell which marks the end of the treatment and you'll open your eyes and slowly begin to come back into the world from your deeply relaxed state. Karen will give you a glass of water and help you to sit up and you'll slowly move from the couch to a chair so that you can begin the feedback and analysis part of the session. She'll ask you how you found the treatment so that you can crystallise your experience and she'll then give you feedback on her findings from the dowsing of your chakras to the meaning of the forks your chose. You'll be amazed at how relevant and meaning ful this information is to your self view and to your view of your life and what's going on for you, and it'll be the catalyst for a conversation in which you'll have a new sense of clarity.
