Lydia works with many Sound healing modalities. 
Soundcode Therapy for Atlas in Balance (also known as Atlas Balancing) is a technique originated by Elisabeth Westermann, using  touch and sound vibration (through the voice) to spark a cascade of self-healing responses, varying infinitely person to person.  The work is extremely gentle, using only the Soundcodes, light touch, and energy work.  From birth the Atlas vertebra (the bone directly supporting the skull) is rotated and often tilted, in humans as well as most mammals, causing stress and chronic illness to the body.  Once the atlas has found its proper place, this can have a ripple effect of healing upon the body, mind and spirit, causing lasting positive changes.  

Lydia Erickson is certified to perform (Level 1) Atlas in Balance and (Level 2) Body in Balance Soundcode therapies for humans as well as animals (including pets and horses). She offers her own modalities supporting individuals in their healing journeys, which include  Starpoints Returning, and Tree Spirit-Song Intuitive Sound session.  Please click on the links below to learn more about these gentle but powerful vibrational healing modalities. 

​Lydia is a Kundalini Reiki Master, and certified in Usui Reiki as well.  She is currently following further training in Yoga Nidra (a powerful restorative practice often described as yogic sleep).  She leads weekly nidra-inspired Healing Sound Meditations and also hosts women's empowerment courses such as Women Rise, Singing from Our Roots, and Singing the Hearts of Trees at the Sanctuary of Trees and Day Seven Wellness Center in Stoughton, MA.
We have one rule in our family - be kind.  It's expected.  But can we remember to be kind to ourselves, too?? 

Be kind to yourself! Be kind to your body, mind, everything about you.  It shows, and it passes on - even invisibly.  So many of us are kinder to others than we are to ourselves, even if just unconsciously.  Just imagine if, everyday, we consciously gave ourselves the benefit of the doubt, the permission to be imperfect and still be loved wholly and completely, the ability to just be ourselves and have that be just enough.  It is always enough, in fact! This simple truth is what I want to deepen in myself, and support others in deepening in their own hearts.  It is awakening the "voice of kindness" in our own hearts.  When we are able to do this, miracles happen every time we open our mouths.  Words take on a new meaning.  We are able to open doors we didn't even know were closed to ourselves, within our own hearts.  And just imagine the impact this has on your external world - it is tremendous - those doors are everywhere - the whole universe hears you when you make an internal decision to be kind.  In every moment, every single experience of awareness, there is infinite power to change, to shift, to settle more deeply on the path of kindness, of Self Love.  It is not a path that goes anywhere else in fact, it just brings you deeper and deeper into the place you already are... and deeper into the heaven that is possible for us all when we are fully embodied and accepting of who and where we are.  This is true freedom.  This is what I want for me, for you, and for all of us on this beautiful Earth.

Welcome to this path of self-healing and ever deepening peace within -
 let us care for our bodies and spirits so they can continue to care for us...!!
​
 I want to meet you where you are, to create a space that supports your own healing through self-empowerment and helps you return to that place where you feel you are at home, in this body, in this time.  I work with people in all sorts of situations and all sorts of emotional realities.  My main motivation is to help you find deep peace within yourself, and to support your body, mind and spirit so that that peace becomes a regular experience in your life.

Atlas and Body in Balance

 Atlas in Balance (Level 1) is an extremely gentle technique which assists the cervical atlas to naturally return to its correct position. Most humans have the atlas turned at least 19 degrees to the left, and many animals as well. Body in Balance (Level 2) works with the Coccyx which is also typically out of alignment, as well as the xyphoid process.

These foundational therapies can bring lasting positive changes in one’s physical, emotional, mental and spiritual alignment.

Rates for Atlas Balancing Level 1 (Atlas) and 2 (Coccyx & Xyphoid):

Child (30-45 mins): $150

Starpoints Returning

Starpoints Returning is energy and sound healing work that might best be described as "energetic acupuncture."

​The name literally means the points of light in your body's "light grid" returning to their perfect position, where your energetic body is at peace - which in turn bring peace to the physical, mental and emotional bodies.

Starpoints Returning is especially helpful for those who want a "spiritual tune-up" for their energetic and physical vehicles.  It can help to calm anxiety, ease stress, assist in healing nightmares or insomnia, and bring the mind to a state of stillness and peace.

Child (30-45 mins): $75 per session (two sessions recommended)
