Sound Healing

“Eileen floated me along a river of sounds that I could focus on in a meditative state, sometimes noticing the physical vibrations as well as the sounds, and one time, distinctly feeling the waves of sound washing over my body.  The shaking of rattles around my body seemed to shake loose my trepidation about taking a difficult step in my life and, months later after Eileen’s sound healing, I’m still holding to that path.  I would recommend Eileen’s sound healing to anyone.”  –F.R., Surry, ME resident

“Matter vibrates. Sound is vibration. Therefore, sound affects matter.”  Kathleen Nagy, The Sound Lady, Santa Fe, NM

Sound has been used in diverse cultures for thousands of years as a tool for healing. Voice, drums, bells, gongs, singing bowls, rain sticks and tuning forks are some of the instruments we use. From Sanskrit mantras and ragas in India to the sacred songs of shamans from indigenous tribes of Africa, Australia, and the Americas…from the ancient Greeks’ use of interval and frequency (Pythagoras) to the modern sound guides who use electronics and bioacoustic technology, these various techniques can shift us from a place of imbalance and dis-ease to a place of balance and wellness.

Sound healing treatments may help to:

  • relax your mind, body, and spirit
  • calm your nerves, decrease anxiety or mental “noise” and reduce stress
  • release blockage
  • balance energies
  • increase clarity and memory
  • affirm your intentions
  • align you with your higher purpose
  • remember your authentic self
  • reduce or eliminate pain
  • release what is no longer needed
  • make you feel better!!!

Eileen offers individualized sound healing sessions as well as guided group sound healings and “sound bath meditations.” Allow at least 90 minutes for a one-on-one sound healing session. To schedule your session, call/text (207) 441-2785 or email eileen.mielenhausen@gmail.com.

About Your Sound Healing Guide:

Eileen Mielenhausen has been a channel for healing energy, light, and love all of her life. She became most aware of these gifts when she experienced the power of sound healing and hands-on healing 25 years ago at the Maine Healing Arts Festival. She has been a student of yoga and chanting since the late ‘90’s and has participated in many workshops and retreats, including sound programs led by teachers Jonathan Goldman, Sarah Benson, James Ballard, David Hykes, Layne Redmond, Pat & Norm Heitmann, Yogi P and the Funky Shanti (Patrick McAndrew, Heidi Champney, and Greg Alexander), and Kripalu’s Bhavani Lorraine Nelson. In 2003, Eileen started coordinating retreats and workshop programs in her free time as Healing & Expressive Arts Retreats of Maine.

A Reiki II practitioner, Eileen has offered Reiki energy healing sessions all across the country, from Maine to Florida, and from the Midwest to the Southwest. On her 2015 trip to Santa Fe, she studied sound healing with James Ballard and also worked with sound healers Kate Marks and Kathleen Nagy. She enjoys singing with Women With Wings (in Bangor) and Misty Mountain Singers (in Blue Hill) and has performed in public many times as a singer, drummer, poet and speaker.

Honoring the power of the drum for healing, she has coordinated numerous 8,000 Sacred Drums ceremonies on the coast of Maine since 2008. Eileen has also led drum workshops/sound circles for addiction recovery groups in Maine and Florida, for churches and libraries, for adult ed programs, at women’s wellness events and holistic fairs, for cancer survivors, for incarcerated women at Kennebec County Correctional Facility, for Hancock County hospice caregivers, for gradeschool children in Castine, for UU Youth in Bangor, and for seniors in nursing homes and independent living facilities, among others.

Eileen has worked for many nonprofits, has worked with hundreds of students as a former English teacher and librarian, and holds a Master of Arts in Literature. Please contact her at BeamingLight, (207) 441-2785 or eileen.mielenhausen@gmail.com.

“Eileen used her Reiki and sound skills with utmost sensitivity for my sessions. She came from a place of deep integrity and spiritual connection. I felt totally safe and trusting in her very capable hands. My body and being experienced deep relaxation, peace and effortless expansion in her wonderful work.”  –James Ballard, Healing Sound Guide, Santa Fe, NM
