Did you catch Cary from Shanti Sound on Chrissy May’s “Aligned & Alive” Podcast?
The Science of Healing Trauma & Calming Anxiety Through Sound Healing with Cary Ballou
What happens when the life you’ve built no longer feels aligned with who you are?
In this episode of the Aligned & Alive Podcast, host Chrissy May sits down with Cary Ballou, founder of Shanti Sound, to explore how sound healing can help you slow down, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your body in a deeper way.
Sound baths use frequencies and vibration to guide the body out of stress mode and into a state of rest and restoration. Instead of trying to “think” your way into feeling better, this ancient practice allows the body to release tension, process stored stress, and come back into balance naturally.
In this conversation, Chrissy and Cary dive into:
- What actually happens in your brain and body during a sound bath
- How stress and unresolved emotions can show up physically
- How often you should experience sound healing
- Why sound healing is expanding into corporate wellness
- The rapidly growing trend toward intuitive and energy based healing
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or like something just feels “off,” this episode offers a new perspective on how to come back into alignment.
