In this episode of Retreat, Reset, Transform, host Donald Currie, registered psychotherapist and Clinical Director at Dimensions Algonquin Highlands, explores the science and art of sound healing. Discover how specific tones, rhythms, and frequencies can shift brainwave patterns from stressed, overactive states into deep relaxation and restoration.

This episode includes a short sound bath experience with crystal bowls, the reverie harp, and nature sounds, designed to help you drop into a calm, centered state, perfect for relaxation, meditation, or integration after deep inner work.

Donald unpacks the neuroscience behind brainwave states including beta, alpha, theta, and delta and shares research showing how sound can reduce anxiety, regulate the nervous system, and support emotional integration. You’ll also learn how ancient traditions and modern therapeutic practices use instruments like crystal singing bowls, gongs, and the reverie harp to guide the body and mind into harmony.
