Any one who has read my book ‘A Journey of Creative Healing’ knows that I am an advocate for alternative healing that has the potential to work compatibly with orthodox healing. I have always been convinced that the power of music has the ability to heal, even more so after a personal Sound Therapy experience some twenty odd years ago

Kimba Arem is an international recording artist and engineer, molecular biologist, classically trained musician and sound therapist. In addition to her rigorous scientific background she has studied a variety of Shamanic practices from around the world. I was honoured that Kimba a leader in the field of Sound and Subtle Energy Therapy, wrote the foreword to my book ‘A Journey of Creative Healing,’  

I first met Kimba in Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands in the mid ‘90s. My friend gave me a gift of a music therapy session with her. Kimba had become a full time spiritual seeker since her transformational wake up call – a near death experience– in 1992. Her life work from then became dedicated to healing others through the medium of sound and music.

A simple explanation of Sound and Subtle Energy Therapy is that it induces states of deep relaxation where the healing of emotional pain and scars are able to take place.

The website Harmonic Sounds explains that the therapy of sounds and vibrations are able to ‘release fear and grief, loneliness and depression, cleanse unwanted emotions and find solutions to emotional issues with others, are all achieved with sound healing. Many physical ailments, aches, pains, muscular and connective tissue problems, mobility problems, post-operative recovery, tinnitus and many more serious chronic diseases can all be cured or alleviated by sound therapy.’

My healing hour with Kimba can only be described as blissfully extraordinary. My friend had enthused but gave me no detail of the techniques used in the treatment and this unknown meant I a little nervous as I knocked on the front door of Kimba’s house. But from the minute I met this Goddess of sound healing radiating calm and a total sense of togetherness, I felt at home.

Her treatment room was a sun-dappled sanctuary. The air blitzed with some sweet smelling herbal aromatic. I lay, well rather as I was so relaxed it felt like nesting, on the padded therapy table. Wearing a special eye mask my sense of time and space were no longer relevant as I focused on the exquisite and random sounds of a quartz-crystal didgeridoo and other indigenous and classical instruments that were used to harmonize my energy field. Added to this ravishment of musical vibration, I was taken into a land beyond ‘la la,’ by means of light frequencies and color, which Kimba incorporated into my unique, multi-dimensional healing hour.

For days afterwards I wandered around in joyful rapture glowing with health and bonhomie.

Kimba has been an instructor for celebrity and alternative health doctor Andrew Weil’s Integrative Medicine program and was the musician for his Healthy Aging tour.
