Sound Medicine & Sound Healing during Pregnancy. - What you need to know!
(German version below)
Sound Medicine and Sound Healing Sessions are definitely an effortless and fun way to get into a deeper state of full body and mind relaxation and to be able to reconnect with ourselves. But does this also apply for a pregnant woman?
And the answer is YES! During pregnancy Sound Healing with Crystal Singing Bowls or other Sound Medicine instruments can definitely help to release stress and provide a tool for relaxation. When the mother is going into a state of relaxation so the baby will do.
This is a kind of entrainment that’s happening everywhere not only with Sound but also between two human beings. Mother and baby have a special connection so the relaxation response will be as effective for Mother as for baby.
Did you know that the hearing sense is the first to develop? It develops after the first 16 weeks of pregnancy!
It has shown that the babies of mothers who came to sound meditations regularly during pregnancy, will relax instantly when hearing the familiar sounds of crystal bowls, chimes or other high vibrational instruments that have been used!
Of course we need to take some precautions!
For example it is NOT recommended to play binaural beats when having a pregnant woman in your Sound Meditation session! Also they should not be played to a new born as it might trigger seizures! Seek a qualifies Sound Healing Practitioner who can guide you and help you out if you feel insecure or have questions in general! The most important thing is that everyone feels safe because otherwise it will be hard to relax!
The work with sound is so beautiful and effective but it’s also necessary to educate yourself sufficiently before conducting sessions in Sound Healing Trainings
That’s why I always recommend certified courses with credential teachers besides the personality and energy of that person!
A teacher or mentor should withhold both of these qualities for the students to have the maximum learning effect!
Here are some things who should consider:
Sound healing can be a soothing and relaxing practice during pregnancy, but it's essential to take some precautions to ensure the safety and comfort of both the mother and the baby:
Choose the Right Sounds: Opt for gentle, calming and harmonious sounds such as nature sounds, soft music, or specifically designed sound healing tracks for pregnancy. Avoid loud or jarring sounds that may cause stress.
Volume Control: Keep the volume at a moderate level to prevent it from being too intense for the sensitive ears of the developing fetus.
Avoid Prolonged Exposure: While occasional sessions of sound healing are generally considered safe during pregnancy, avoid prolonged exposure to sound therapy sessions, especially those involving loud or continuous sounds. It is also important to notice if you have been to sound healings before your pregnancy and your body is used to the sounds and the experience it’s more likely to be a nice experience for the fetus/baby too. If you have never been exposed to a Sound Healing Session before your pregnancy it is not recommended for the first 12 weeks. After that you can try gentle sounds.
Consult Your Healthcare Provider: It's always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new therapy during pregnancy, including sound healing. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and individual circumstances.
Comfortable Positioning: Ensure that the pregnant woman is comfortable during the sound healing session. She should be able to lie down or sit in a position that supports her body and allows her to relax fully.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water before and after the session to stay hydrated, as hydration is crucial during pregnancy.
Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how you feel during and after the sound healing session. If you experience any discomfort or unusual sensations, stop the session and consult with your healthcare provider.
Use Reputable Sources: If using sound healing tracks or recordings, ensure they are from reputable sources and specifically designed for pregnancy or relaxation.
By taking these precautions, you can safely enjoy the benefits of sound healing during pregnancy. However, it's essential to remember that individual experiences may vary, so always prioritize your comfort and well-being.

Klangmedizin & Sound Healing in der Schwangerschaft. - Was man wissen sollte!
Klangmedizin und Klangheilungssitzungen sind definitiv eine mühelose und schlichtweg einfache Möglichkeit, in einen tieferen Zustand der vollständigen körperlichen und geistigen Entspannung zu gelangen und sich wieder mit sich selbst zu verbinden. Aber gilt das auch für eine schwangere Frau?
Die Antwort ist JA! Während der Schwangerschaft können Klänge und Sound Healing mit Kristallklangschalen oder anderen klangmedizinischen Instrumenten definitiv helfen, Stress abzubauen und ein Werkzeug zur Entspannung sein. Wenn sich die Mutter in einen Zustand der Entspannung begibt, wird dies auch das Baby tun.
Dies ist eine Art von Entrainment, das überall stattfindet, nicht nur mit Klang, sondern auch zwischen zwei Menschen. Mutter und Baby haben eine besondere Verbindung, so dass die Entspannungsreaktion für die Mutter ebenso wirksam ist wie für das Baby.
Wusstest du, dass sich der Hörsinn als erstes entwickelt? Er entwickelt sich nach den ersten 16 Wochen der Schwangerschaft!
Es hat sich gezeigt, dass die Babys von Müttern, die während der Schwangerschaft regelmäßig an Klangmeditationen teilgenommen haben, sich sofort entspannen, wenn sie die vertrauten Klänge von Kristallschalen, Glockenspielen oder anderen hochschwingenden Instrumenten hören, die verwendet wurden!
ABER natürlich müssen wir einige Vorsichtsmaßnahmen treffen!
Zum Beispiel ist es NICHT empfehlenswert, binaurale Beats zu spielen, wenn eine schwangere Frau an der Klangmeditationssitzung teilnimmt! Auch sollten sie einem Neugeborenen nicht vorgespielt werden, da sie Krampfanfälle auslösen können! Suchen dir also einen qualifizierten Klangheilpraktiker auf, der dich anleiten und dir helfen kann, wenn du dich unsicher fühlst oder generell Fragen habst! Das Wichtigste ist, dass sich jeder sicher fühlt, denn sonst wird es schwer, sich zu entspannen!
Die Arbeit mit Klang ist so schön und effektiv, aber es ist auch notwendig, sich ausreichend zu informieren, bevor man Sitzungen an sich oder anderen ausführt.
Deshalb empfehle ich neben der Persönlichkeit und der Energie der Person immer zertifizierte Kurse mit ausgewiesenen Lehrern!
Ein Lehrer oder Mentor sollte diese beiden Qualitäten besitzen, damit die Schüler den maximalen Lerneffekt haben!
Zertifizierte Sound Healing Ausbildungen finden Sie hier im Sound Medicine Institute Germany, das weltweit Online- und Präsenzausbildungen anbietet!
