MY PERSONAL STORY….

Hi soundful soul,

Thanks for being here! Thanks for taking the time to dive into my world. The world of Sound Medicine. My name is Lisa Schuster, I’m a medical doctor, yoga- & sound therapist, mentor, meditation teacher, acupuncturist and founder of the Sound Medicine Institute Germany and creatrix of the hand-made quartz crystal bowls AkashaBowls®.

Music has always been a part of me and my journey,

although not always as clear as it is today. I learned the piano at a very young age and played the base in a rock-funk band when I was a teenager. Music would always give me access to my emotions and to my true self without even knowing it at that point.

When I entered university to study medicine I forgot about this powerful container and its wisdom called Sound. All caught up in the medical world and starting a bodybuilding career at the same time my body and soul got totally burned out.

I was always a very ambitious and high achieving person, music would always balance me, but without the existence of music in my life I totally lost the connection within and my shadow sides started to take over in my life.

My mind was racing, I was in constant chronic pain due to my bodybuilding career and the food I ate, anxieties, gut issues and migraines have been part of my daily life.

Until I decided after 2 years of medical studies that something needs to change! This is not how I want to live my life, in constant stress and in a constant fight with myself and all around me. I looked super successful on the outside but inside I felt lost and alone, not knowing why I am here or what my purpose is.

I decided to become a DJ basically overnight

to have a way to express myself again through music and find the connection to who I truly am. I am more than grateful for what unfolded ever since in my life. The places I traveled to, what I learned about music styles from all over the world from different DJs and the amazing souls I connected and evolved with.

But deep down I still knew that something was missing. I wanted to work with music so badly and I was doing it but still something was missing? I started to get sad and thought something might be wrong with me and that I will never be able to be satisfied and find my true purpose. 

Until one day in LA I experienced Crystal Bowl Sound Bath. 

I have never heard of that before but as I have always been a super curious person I gave it a shot. This shot literally changed my life. I still don’t have words to describe my first crystal sound bath experience. All I know is that I never felt that relaxed, centered, realigned and in peace with myself and everything around me like I did after this session. 

From there my heart and soul were on FIRE.

I wanted to know everything about Sound Medicine and the crystal singing bowls. Started to read all different kinds of books, when I would travel I would always look for Sound Practitioners to meet, experience their sessions and learn from them. 

This is where my own healing journey started to multiply. I already worked a lot on myself with yoga, meditation, mindfulness, breathwork, different coaches and hypnotherapists but SOUND opened up a new dimension in healing myself. Emotions, belief patterns, programming so deeply rooted started to come up through my work with Sound. Step by step I learned to shift and heal. 

Step by step I started to feel and see my true purpose.

Step by step I realised that we are all Sound and that we are all connected. Sound itself connected me with this knowledge.

From there all the answers came up. What I need to do and why I am here.

It felt all of a sudden so right. It all made sense.

I am here to serve humanity and bring Sound Medicine out into this world, making it accessible to as many people as possible. 

And I would like to be your guide in your personal transformational journey through Sound.

Let the soundful journey begin.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about my story and stick to it until the end! I am endlessly grateful for your existence!

In Love & Sound,

Lisa
