About me
MY STORY
Hello, I'm Allison Bagg, a sound healer, breathwork facilitator, intuitive guide and artist based in Los Angeles. I utilize a plethora of modalities to help clients ground into their bodies, establish strong boundaries and open portals to the magic and abundance within. Certified in gong, crystal alchemy singing bowls, planetary chimes and tuning forks, I received training under award winning flautist, composer and gong master Tim Wheater and fairy queen Cherub in London.
My personal healing journey throughout the years has helped me calm my overthinking, anxious mind (Virgo rising over here!) and provided endless tools to navigate the world as a highly sensitive person. A retired people pleaser, I have learned how to distinguish the difference between my energy and someone else's, and carve out space for myself as a witness rather than a sponge. Through my study of sound and frequency, I aim to bring together both hemispheres of the brain in a beautiful marriage of spirit and science (hello Libra sun!). Everything is vibration, after all, and by tuning ourselves like instruments, we can heal everything from the physical on a cellular level, as well as the spiritual, energetic and vibrational forces within.
Through my art, I also aim to use the juxtaposition of unlikely objects and environments, utilizing my own photographs and digital collage, to create portals to different dimensions and playful worlds, familiar yet full of promise. I invite you to suspend your perception of reality and develop your own interpretation of the narrative taking place both within the work and the world around us.
What is Soundbath?
From Tibetan singing bowls to Aboriginal didgeridoos, music has been used for its therapeutic effects for thousands of years. This vibrational healing technique is especially beneficial when we realize that everything is vibration. So when we begin to heal ourselves at a vibrational level, we are healing ourselves at the most basic root of existence.
You might notice that when you listen to a very peaceful song, you also begin to feel peaceful. Music, and especially crystal bowls, have the ability to help your nervous system go from sympathetic (fight or flight) into parasympathetic (rest and relaxation). In this relaxed state, your blood pressure and heart rate drop along with your cortisol levels. Cortisol is the stress hormone, and it is said that 20 minutes of meditation can lower your cortisol more than a full night's sleep!
Crystal bowls provide a particularly powerful and beneficial vibration because our bodies are actually made of crystal. We have a crystalline structure within our DNA that lights up when we are bathed in the beautiful pure tones of crystal bowls. Crystal bowls also help facilitate a deep state of relaxation. During our normal, waking life, we are typically in a beta brainwave state, which is active and alert. When we are a bit more relaxed, but still focused, we enter alpha. A deep, meditative state called theta is usually only accessible during 20 minutes of transcendental meditation, or even sleep states. But the vibration of crystal bowls has the ability to pull us into this theta state without us having to do anything at all. In that sense, soundbaths almost act as shortcuts or detours that take us straight to theta.
Soundbath
Another benefit of sound healing occurs on a cellular level. Sound travels 5 times faster in water, and since we are made mostly of water, the sound travels much faster within us, as well. The sound vibration shakes up our cells, helping to break apart those that have clumped together over time and grown sluggish and slow. By pulling the cells apart so they flow individually, we give our blood a little tune up so that everything functions at a more optimal state. In fact, there was just a study in which a group of volunteers had their fingers pricked to study their blood before and after 20 minutes of gong. In the before images, the doctor could see signs of dehydration in the cells, along with clumping of cells and small bacteria floating throughout the blood. After just 20 minutes of sound healing, the cells were plump and hydrated, no longer clumped, and the bacteria was gone. The benefits of soundbaths, and especially crystal bowls, are countless.
All these studies, and the history of this ancient practice, can attest to the powerful healing ability of this modality. But, all that really matters is that after a soundbath you leave feeling lighter, more at ease, and deeply connected to the world around you.
