Transcript of the webinar by AI

In this inspiring webinar, Iana Avramova invites us to explore the connection between sound, vibration, and intuition. As participants slowly arrive, she welcomes everyone warmly and invites them to share where they’re from and how they feel at that moment. Responses flow in from across Europe and beyond — the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Croatia, and even Canada. Words like “bubbly,” “curious,” and “tired” capture the mood of the group.

Iana, joining from Bulgaria, shares her excitement about being part of this session. As a member of the European Network of Intuitive Trainers, she has spent the past year experimenting with different methods to enhance intuition. She explains that each country in the network takes a different approach to working with intuition, making the project dynamic and diverse.

Reflecting on her personal journey, Iana tells us that she lived, studied, and worked in the Netherlands for nine years. After returning to Bulgaria, she transitioned from the corporate world — where professional development was abundant but personal fulfillment was lacking — into working full-time on projects focused on education, creativity, and personal growth. EUNITA, she explains, is one of those meaningful projects.

One key insight she shares is that transformation does not happen through the mind alone. True transformation, she believes, occurs when the body, emotions, and soul are in alignment. This state of balance — or being “in tune” — is where intuition can be clearly heard and felt. However, to reach that state, we often need to slow down.

To help participants settle into the space and connect with themselves, Iana introduces a grounding exercise. She invites everyone to sit comfortably, close their eyes, and listen to a piece of music played on the handpan — a soft, spaceship-like instrument known for its relaxing and immersive sound. Participants are encouraged to notice any changes in their body or mind as they listen.

After the music fades, she asks how the experience felt. Responses like “more relaxed,” “more flow,” and “less headache” show how quickly sound can shift our inner state. Iana notes that sound, much like intuition, is invisible yet deeply felt. Both can affect us before our conscious mind registers what’s happening.

She then explains how intuition manifests: as a sudden knowing, a spontaneous impulse to act without logical reasoning. Intuition, she says, is fast, often bodily, and rooted in the subconscious. But there’s a catch — stress blocks intuition. When we’re in survival mode, we become reactive rather than receptive.

Even though many of us aren’t facing actual physical danger, our nervous systems still interpret modern stimuli — like emails, deadlines, or arguments — as threats. This keeps us in a state of constant reaction. Iana describes this state as being like mice in a wheel, constantly running from one task to the next.

To truly connect with our intuition, we need to slow down and shift from reaction to reception. And for Iana, sound is one of the most powerful tools to help us do that.

Sound and its vibrations, she explains, often live beneath the surface of our awareness — much like intuition. Everything in life vibrates, as Einstein once said. Our thoughts, emotions, and words all carry frequencies. These vibrations affect our nervous system, our breathing, our brainwaves — and ultimately, our state of being.

Sound isn’t just heard — it’s absorbed. It shapes us. Through the science of cymatics, Iana illustrates how sound waves can literally transform materials like sand and water into visual patterns. If sound can shape matter, she asks, imagine what it can do to us — especially since our bodies are mostly water.

Next, she introduces the concept of brainwaves and how sound influences our mental states. There are five main types: Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. Each reflects a different rhythm in our brain, tied to distinct states of consciousness.

Delta brainwaves are the slowest and occur during deep, dreamless sleep. This is the state where the body undergoes its deepest healing and restoration. It’s no coincidence, she says, that when we are ill, our body demands sleep.

Theta brainwaves are her personal favorite. Associated with deep relaxation, creativity, and intuition, this is the state often reached in sound meditations and healing sessions using instruments like Tibetan bowls, gongs, and handpans. In Theta, we hover between wakefulness and sleep — a fertile ground for intuitive insight.

Alpha brainwaves represent a more alert but still relaxed state. This is where we experience “flow” — being so immersed in an activity that hours pass without notice. Though not ideal for learning new material, it’s the brain state where we integrate and synthesize our experiences, often making intuitive connections.

Beta brainwaves are the domain of everyday activity — the state of focus, alertness, and action. While necessary for productivity, the danger lies in remaining in high Beta for too long. When that happens, stress hormones build up, and our nervous system never gets the chance to rest, making it harder to access deeper intuitive states.

Finally, she touches on Gamma brainwaves — the highest frequency, linked to moments of insight, peak states of consciousness, and spiritual awakening. Though rare, these states can occur during meditation or deep REM sleep.

Each brainwave has its purpose. The key, Iana concludes, is learning to move between them — to consciously create space for the slower, more receptive states where intuition can emerge.

To support this shift, sound becomes a powerful ally. We cannot always decide with our conscious mind to switch from a Beta to a Delta state. But by listening to certain sound frequencies, the brain naturally synchronizes with those vibrations. This is known as brainwave entrainment — a practice used in neurology to induce states like deep relaxation, heightened focus, or even improved memory.

To close the session, Iana invites participants into an experiential practice called Emotional Sound Mapping. She plays several different sound clips — each around one to two minutes — and asks the audience to journal three things for each: what they feel physically, what emotions arise, and whether any intuitive images or messages come up.

After this reflection, participants are divided into breakout groups to share their experiences and explore how sound influenced their body, emotions, and intuitive awareness. Musical excerpts range from unfamiliar tones to Vivaldi’s “Summer” and even a segment of “Eye of the Tiger.” Each evokes its own mix of reactions, offering insight into the powerful link between sound, memory, emotion, and intuition.

Through this final exercise, Iana emphasizes a core message of the webinar: sound is not only a tool for relaxation, but a bridge to deeper awareness and intuitive wisdom.
