It was wonderful to learn from Carolyn. The love and intention that she put into every aspect of our training made us feel supported and energized as we learned. Her knowledge and deep passion for this healing modality was evident and could be felt from the moment we entered the training space. So thankful to have had this experience and hope to collaborate more in the future. Thank you, Carolyn.

Carolyn Vinup’s 4‑week sound class was outstanding. After taking several trainings this past year, her expertise finally connected the dots and filled in the gaps of what I’d been learning. She brings such bright, beautiful energy to the room, and her teaching style gives you more hands‑on practice than most classes. I left feeling more confident, inspired, and grounded in my sound work.

Historical roots of sound healing

The healing quality of sound has been recognized for a very long time. As early as 16,000 B.C.E. in Europe, and 40,000 B.C.E. in Australia, vibrational tools were used as healing instruments. In past eons and today, people use sound and music to find a sense of calm, to worship, and to celebrate. Sound and vibration have been part of the human experience all over the world since ancient times.

How does sound healing work?

The bowl releases vibrations that are absorbed by the body. Just as every organ and cell in each of us vibrates at a particular frequency, the sounds we create with singing bowls have their own vibration, one which helps the brain reach a level of deep relaxation. Sound healing befriends the noisy and overactive mind and allows transformation and healing to occur.

During a sound-healing session, many experience an altered state of awareness sometimes described as feeling “floaty”. Often there is a sense of reduced anxiety and muscle tension or a feeling of vast spaciousness. Medical studies have found that sound- healing vibrations encourage brainwaves to settle and enter a state of deep relaxation in the delta and theta states. This allows the mind to become quiet and still and the body to enter homeostasis, the state where healing occurs on all levels.

 

Having experienced Carolyn Vinup's teachings, I can confidently say she is an inspiring instructor deeply passionate about sharing the healing qualities of sacred sound. From the moment you meet her, you're enveloped in her positive energy, where she creates a safe and nurturing learning environment. Through immersive group experiences, Carolyn makes sound healing fun and accessible. Under her guidance, my confidence has grown as I continue to transform my own journey with sound.

Carolyn’s sound healing training was fantastic. The program included all the essential experiential elements: we explored and played a variety of sound healing instruments, experienced a full sound healing session, and created our own sound journeys for classmates. The environment felt safe, supportive, and welcoming throughout. With more than 25 years of experience, Carolyn brings deep knowledge and generously shares insights on a wide range of sound healing modalities. I look forward to continuing my sound healing studies with her! ~ Kat D.
