The Sound Healing Academy November Newsletter

Nov 11, 2025

Welcome to our November Newsletter!

As we step into November, the pace of the year begins to soften.

It’s a beautiful moment to pause and to look back at how far you’ve come in 2025, to honour the growth, insights, and sound-filled transformations that have shaped your journey so far.

In the world of sound healing, reflection is just as vital as resonance. This month invites us to listen deeply, not only to the tones of our instruments, but to the quiet wisdom within ourselves.

Ask yourself:

What have I learned so far this year... about sound, healing, and myself?
What do I wish to bring into harmony before the year closes?
What dreams or projects am I ready to bring to fruition in these final two months?

At The Sound Healing Academy, we invite you to embrace this season of reflection and completion. Let the power of sound guide you as you integrate, release, and realign, preparing the way for a new cycle of creativity and transformation.

Exciting news: we’re coming to Tasmania, Australia!

We’re thrilled to announce that we're expanding our presence in Australia, and for the very first time, we’re bringing our transformative sound healing workshops to Tasmania in March 2026!

Tasmania, with its pristine wilderness, ancient forests, and breathtaking coastlines, offers the perfect environment for deep connection and sound healing training.

The island’s pure air, natural stillness, and grounding energy make it an extraordinary place to immerse yourself in the healing power of sound.

We’re delighted to share that Inga, one of our gifted teachers, will be leading her first-ever Level 1 Foundations of Sound Healing Workshop in Tasmania next March. Join her for a deeply restorative and inspiring experience that will connect you with both the beauty of nature and the profound wisdom of sound!

Yifat Shriben – bringing harmony to hearts in Australia

This month, we’re delighted to shine our practitioner spotlight on Yifat Shriben, one of our wonderful Sound Healing Academy practitioners based in Australia.

Yifat brings deep passion, sensitivity, and wisdom to her work, offering sound baths, workshops, and private sessions that help others reconnect with their inner calm and natural rhythm. Through her nurturing presence and intuitive use of sound, she creates beautiful spaces for relaxation, healing, and transformation.

Her journey with sound is a true reflection of the power of vibration and intention, reminding us that healing begins the moment we pause to truly listen.

"During a period of major life changes, I felt drawn to explore sound healing after noticing a singing bowl during a mentoring session. I started with the Level 1 Multi-Instruments Course at The Sound Healing Academy, then continued to Level 2, discovering how deeply sound could support emotional healing, both mine and others’.

What began as a personal journey soon became my passion and profession.

Today, I run my own home studio, offering one-on-one sessions, group sound baths, and community events.

I’ve witnessed incredible transformations...clients finding relief from chronic pain, emotional stress, and even long-standing sleep issues. Watching people reconnect with themselves and rediscover balance through sound is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.

The Sound Healing Academy gave me the perfect blend of online learning, mentorship, and hands-on workshops. The case studies were a turning point, helping me gain confidence and see firsthand how powerful this work can be.

The community I built through the Academy continues to inspire me as we still share ideas, support each other, and grow together!

Sound healing has completely transformed my life, bringing balance, purpose, and connection. It’s opened my heart, deepened my intuition, and strengthened my relationships. It’s truly the most fulfilling gift that keeps on giving!"

A recent 2024 study by H. Ahn found that sound vibration therapy may help reduce inflammation in the body.

The therapy works by increasing IL-10, a natural anti-inflammatory substance, suggesting that sound-based treatments could support the immune system and overall health.

Connecting to your intuition with a crystal singing bowl

Sometimes, the quietest guidance comes from within.

This simple crystal singing bowl practice helps you tune in to your intuition and listen to the subtle whispers of your inner wisdom.

Create your space – Find a quiet spot where you won’t be disturbed. Dim the lights, light a candle if you like, and sit comfortably. Hold your crystal singing bowl nearby.
Ground yourself – Take a few deep breaths. Imagine roots growing from the base of your spine into the Earth, anchoring and supporting you.
Set an intention – Silently invite your intuition to guide you. You can say, “I open myself to receive gentle guidance from within.”
Play the bowl – Gently strike or circle the rim of your crystal singing bowl. Let the sound fill the space. Focus on how the vibrations feel in your body, especially in your heart and third-eye area.
Listen & observe – Close your eyes and allow your mind to soften. Notice any images, feelings, or thoughts that arise without judgment. Your intuition often speaks in subtle ways; through sensations, a gentle knowing, or small insights.
Reflect – When the sound fades, take a few moments to journal or quietly reflect on what came up. Even small impressions can be meaningful.
Close the practice – Thank yourself and your bowl for the session. Take a few grounding breaths before returning to your day.
