Animal Sound Healing
By Natasha Lazdins, Therese Lowton
“When Natasha invited me to offer Sound healing to her horses while she interpreted their experience through her animal communication gifts, I jumped at the opportunity…” Therese Lowton ~ Co-Founder of Momentom Artist Residency
It has been a remarkable amount of years learning the practice of Quantum arts and the modalities that we each have put into practice, leading us to where we are today. As we journeyed into this session, specifically into the sound bath and unseen frequencies as a small, yet profound tribe, at the home of animal communication healer, Natasha Lazdins, we entered the space to allow the order of healing to naturally unfold without a serious agenda. Our intention was to simply observe the healing through the quantum field, observing the horses’ response to the attunement of sound and instruments.
These great beings, along with Kailan Tao, Natasha’s 1 year old son, the dogs and cat grouped together, showing the way into a magnificent vibrational shift. Natasha had some idea of what to expect
and was set on getting out of the way of the ‘Agenda Mind’ or controlling an outcome by simply ‘allowing’ the presence of the moment to envelope them all.

Therese started playing after Kailan gonged the bowl to open. Sound molecules were floating around us everywhere. These molecules transfer energy and our intention was to connect into our heart through sound vibrations which the frequencies move.
The animals circled and the horses came straight in, standing over the three of us sitting with curiosity and welcomeness. To be part of this was inevitably interesting, exciting and also chaotic. The dogs were mostly laying back holding space, while the cat was jumping around joyfully, like a dance to the sounds, full of mischief and playfulness.
I was observing all the action, revealing the messages from the animals and specifically the horse’s engagement. They were sharing and teaching the wisdom of healthy boundaries, differences in group atmosphere and the bringing of us all into harmonious states of being. They played curiously and dropped into deep states of Zen as the tunes of the sound bathing changed. Coming in toward us and backing up dependent on the tunes. Bambi, a 5-year-old filly, specifically showed immense gratitude for humans finally ‘understanding’ that sounds originate through a sort of vibration and whilst not having any specific expectations, just observing the unseen motion as the sound vibrates, we receive so much.

Natasha is so committed to helping animals and humans, which she does so at her own expense. Through harmonic partnership she co-creates amazing experiences for all who are willing to join. When Supernal Magazine Australia invited her to share an article, she immediately invited me to participate, envisioning the magic to be had.
From my perspective, in offering an experience through sound, the animals were extremely curious. Whilst I have often observed the interaction and curiosity of animals with sounds, this was the first time I had officially offered sound specifically for animals. It was also the first time I had met this family of animals, so there was a very strong initial curiosity, which was naturally amplified when I sat down in the middle of their paddock and started unpacking my bags.
As I approached the gates, the horses came straight to me and started nudging my bags. I’m not sure if they thought there was food in there, although I’d like to think that they could sense the energy of the powerful instruments I was carrying.
The Crystal Alchemy bowls that I use in sound sessions are made from a mix of different crystals, minerals and salts which hold their own frequency and memory. Without even playing them, they have a profound presence. Along with the bowls, my collection of instruments comes from a broad regional geography. With me I carry the energies of India, Tibet, Indonesia, Germany and the Americas. All of these embodied energies are amplified through frequency when the instruments are played, strengthening their resonance even when untouched. I can imagine that it was the first time that these animals had made contact with these specific energies, sparking a wild curiosity. My personal philosophy of sound comes from the root of Nada (vibration) Yoga, and is accompanied by Bhakti (devotion) and Mantra (chanting) Yogic philosophies. Nada means the flow of sound and Yoga means Union. Nada Yoga is the process of the union of the individual mind with cosmic consciousness through the flow of sounds. When the river of consciousness is impeded by the ego, Nada or special sounds can remove the obstruction, allowing the river of individual consciousness to unite with its source, the ocean of pure consciousness. I believe that animals are already in this state of consciousness without the impediment of the ego, and are very open to receive. When we can embody that flow state of consciousness, we authentically communicate with them, unobstructed on a level of frequency.
When Natasha commented that the horses were communicating a sense of understanding and experiencing a new way to establish ‘healthy’ boundaries, it just made sense.
Here we were as humans, simply existing in the space with them, without trying to control or manipulate them for the purpose of our egos. We were able to achieve a sense of trust and harmony through the use of vibration. I came to realise that working with animals could provide a powerful platform for testing and observing the effects of different frequencies to move ‘stuck’ energies and allow communication without the ego obstructing the results.
In my belief, there is a harmonic resonance that provides optimal health when we are in tune with nature. The way to achieve health for the planet and for our collective existence, is through vibrational harmony. Working with sound frequencies helps to heal individuals and, by also omitting harmonic frequencies to animals and to nature itself, we are able to achieve a heightened state of harmonic frequency that can spread across the planet. As we raise the vibration of ourselves as individuals, we are raising the vibration of the planet. The effects of Sound healing is not limited to human experience; rather, it is an attunement for all that exists in our entire universe. As humans, we have the ability to make sounds in many different ways. The most powerful is our voice. By using our voice with harmony and bringing consciousness to the landscape of the sounds that we produce throughout the day, we can deeply impact the quality of our lives and the lives of all beings around us. From this place of mindful, vibrational harmony, we can communicate with the world around us from a healthy and harmonious place - from humans, to animals and to nature.
