During this private sound massage session you will be soothed with the calming sounds and gentle and yet deeply penetrating vibrations of the singing bowls. During this treatment you will remain fully clothed and there is no physical touch between the therapist and yourself like in regular massage. Instead the bowls are placed over parts of your body - along the spine, on feet, palms, and on the muscles of your legs. The bowls are then played and activated to allow the physical vibration of the bowls to permeate through your entire being, gently throbbing and massaging your tissues. This is a very familiar and deeply soothing sensation of being washed over by gentle and nurturing waves - internally. The person feels physically enveloped in sound and vibration and the whole body begins to vibrate and pulsate together with the bowls.
This treatment brings balance on a cellular level and it is known as sound massage - because the waves and ripples of throbbing vibration enter your body and massage your muscles, inner organs, tissues and cells, restoring harmony in your body, your mind and your soul.
Himalayan Singing Bowls have been used for centuries for healing and meditation purposes in Tibet, India and Nepal. They create a range of sounds to restore the normal vibratory frequencies within the body, mind and spirit. Sounds from the Himalayan Singing Bowls stimulate the brain to move into Theta wave frequencies that induce deep meditative and peaceful states, clarity of mind, and heightened intuition. The sound vibrations impact our nervous system, producing deep relaxation and inhibiting the stress or pain response. Himalayan Singing Bowls' sound and vibration synchronize brain waves and enhances awareness of the mind/body connection.
During this treatment other instruments like Tibetan Tingshaw, Ocean Drum, Gong or Bells may be used in order to bring a range of sound frequencies and vibrations that promote healing and balancing of energies on every level.
"If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that
vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we
understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but
through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a
physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms
us on the emotional and spiritual planes. Sound can redress
imbalances on every level of physiologic functioning and can
play a positive role in the treatment of virtually any medical
disorder."
