Discovering Dowsing – Episode 4: Resonance and Rituals: Exploring Sound, Labyrinths, and Dowsing
with Alex Russell-Stoneham & David Atkinson
Sound carries us. It moves us. It transforms not only our mood but also the subtle energies around us. In this episode of Discovering Dowsing, we explore the mystical intersection of sound, labyrinths, and dowsing, and discover how vibration can align, heal, and awaken the senses.
🎧 Watch / Listen to the Episode:
Sound as a Healing Force
From shamanic drumming to planetary gongs, the ancient didgeridoo, and even contemporary sound healing practices, vibration has a profound ability to influence both the body and the environment:
Amplifying energy fields and harmonising spaces
Healing physical and subtle bodies
Inviting animals and nature into resonance
Tuning into frequencies that align with sacred geometry
We also share practical ways to integrate sound into daily life, from humming to chanting and using tools like tuning forks, tingsha bells, and heart drums.
Labyrinths and Energy Flow
Labyrinths are far more than a walking meditation. They are tools for introspection, energy realignment, and spiritual reflection.
We explore:
The ancestral and sacred geometry roots of labyrinths
How walking labyrinths supports somatic awareness
Ways labyrinths connect with the energetic landscape
Whether it’s in nature or as part of ceremony, labyrinths guide attention inward and create energetic harmony outward.
Music, Sound & Spiritual Connection
We highlight inspiring examples of sound practice, including:
The Beloved – The Sun is Rising (Spotify / YouTube / Amazon Music)
Hildegard of Bingen’s 1000+ year-old chant
Dhuryadas sound healing
Cherry Clapstick and shamanic drums by Heron Drums
Water sound baths in Hampshire
Sound Essences by Evelyn Mulders, for subtle energetic support
These practices reveal how vibration and intention can transform experiences, spaces, and consciousness.
Getting Started with Sound
For beginners or curious explorers:
Use tuning forks (David uses Medivibe forks)
Try Tingsha bells or seed sounds for chakra work
Explore Kundalini Yoga chants such as Ma Sa-Ta-Na-Ma
Experiment with OM/AUM chanting, humming, or drumming with a heart drum
Even a few minutes can shift your mental and energetic state dramatically.
