Vibrational Sound Therapy Singing Bowl Certification Course Tuition
cost covers six days of intensive practice under the supervision of
Vibrational Sound Association (VSA) accredited instructors. The
procedures in the class are limited to 1-4 bowls at a time, which
keeps the method both simple and cost effective. Additional bowls
are added to the procedure and are also available for purchase
throughout the class. All bowls and tools used in the classroom will
be provided for use during the class. Certification in Vibrational
Sound Therapy allows the practitioner to not only perform the
Vibrational Sound Therapy Method, but also become an affiliate of the
VSA, gaining both a discount on the bowls as well as bowl credit by
referring more future practitioners. In addition, the VSA becomes a
pillar of support for the practitioner that will continue to provide
new information and course opportunities as the association expands.
Each day, the intensive program starts with a short sound meditation
followed with an incredible balance of community, communications,
learning, live demonstration and hands-on practice. In addition, every
day each student both receives and performs a Vibrational Sound
Therapy procedure designed to help the student learn and be able to
perform the Vibrational Sound Therapy in any number of real world
situations. Participants in the course are introduced to all of the
modern variations of metal singing bowls in unprecedented number and
variation, a limited number of antique Himalayan bowls, Tingsha
chimes, hand chimes, and our exclusive line of Therapeutic grade
singing bowls that are featured throughout the course. Gongs and
crystal bowls are touched on and used during brief parts of practice,
but are not the focus of the course. Over 100 singing bowls and
other instruments are available to explore and use during the class.
The bowls featured in the class are the perfect costars to our highly
trained practitioners. All hand hammered singing bowls have some
therapeutic qualities to the sound. The distinction that we draw with
our bowls is that we are the only singing bowl school in the USA today
using and promoting engineered, Therapeutic grade singing bowls.
Therapeutic grade singing bowls may have a similar look to traditional
hand hammered bowls, but that is where the similarities end. The bowls
used in the course are world-class instruments, specifically
engineered to provide vibration over sound. The sizes and vibrational
characteristics are matched to appropriate body zones in the course.
We don’t have to create an elaborate cover story to justify the
presence of toxic metals in the bowls that we use. Our Therapeutic
series bowls were designed for use in hospitals and are the safest
singing bowls on the market today. Using pure metals in the
construction of the bowls has allowed us control over their content.
Practitioners are introduced to the Measured Strike Technique. The MST
has revolutionized the way we use and “play” singing bowls across
the board, and will become the singing bowl practitioners’ most
powerful tool. Developed at the same time as the engineering of the
Therapeutic singing bowls, the MST provides the cleanest activation of
the bowls available today, and is the most efficient and effective
method for use in the treatment. The MST is more than just the style
of strike that we use during the VST procedure, it can be used with
any hand hammered bowl with a very similar end result. We have
designed the measured strike technique around specific weighted
mallets to provide a very predictable result each strike. The
techniques are honed in each practitioner through demonstrations and
live practice throughout the course. Our future practitioners enjoy
learning and discussing the fundamental ideas behind Vibrational Sound
Therapy, the history of Himalayan singing bowls, the physics of sound,
and psycho-acoustics. These subjects provide the practitioner with a
solid knowledge base from which to confidently practice the method.
These ideas are reinforced through live demonstration and the practice
of the method itself. Practitioners are attuned to sound in wholly new
ways through the intensive program. Many of our past students have
made note of this, gaining a new understanding of sound itself through
the course, and forever changing the way we hear the world around us.
Attracting practitioners from the widest scope of backgrounds provides
each class with a unique perspective on the treatment. Each day finds
students from different backgrounds interacting with one another, all
in the scope of learning and applying this powerful modality. Students
are paired with new partners every day, insuring that the practice
sessions are as varied and diverse as the class itself. Limiting our
class sizes allows direct interaction between students and
instructors. It also limits the amount of distraction and allows us to
deliver a massive amount of information in the time that we share.
Working with the bowls directly on the body strengthens the effect of
the powerful vibrations that come from the specially engineered
Therapeutic singing bowls. Practitioners are able to see and
understand the results of the method the very first day when they
preform their first Vibrational Sound Therapy Session.
The Vibrational Sound Therapy modality is the first of its kind,
eschewing cultural appropriation and seeking instead a common ground
based on scientific principles and effective techniques. This is
another reason the Vibrational Sound Therapy Method is so powerful.
We are able to adapt the techniques to interface with any existing
modality. This is evident when you look at a cross section of who is
taking our classes. Why study the Vibrational Sound Therapy with us?
Work with singing bowl massage as a stand-alone practice. Add a sound
based modality to your current technique repertoire. Vibrational
Sound Therapy is the perfect companion to massage therapy, reiki and
chiropractic services, psychotherapy, music therapy, acupressure and
acupuncture, and dental and medical services. The practitioner is able
to work within an established institution providing complimentary
services, which increases the market share of spas, healing centers,
yoga centers, or retreat centers. We currently have practitioners
providing relaxation therapy in professional medical settings where
the profound effect has presented incredible results. Now we want you
to join us! We have over 500 graduates in the Vibrational Sound
Therapy Method around the globe from the USA, Canada, Europe, and the
Caribbean. You will find certified practitioners with an incredible
range of backgrounds, working in a broad variety of fields. From
elementary school teachers to light workers, yoga teachers and kirtan
leaders, we see our influence spreading. Retailers of singing bowls
gain an incredible amount of knowledge during the course, helping them
to better cater to the needs of their customers. Therapists and
counselors are using our modality to introduce a new way of life to
people who are suffering. The Therapeutic series bowls are being used
in the offices of psychologists and in the homes of retired
individuals with equal benefit. The modality is universally effective
and our practitioners emerge from our program ready to provide the
techniques to the public. Acupuncturists and Acupressure therapists
find direct correlation between the healing points and meridians they
have already learned and the basic positions and movements of the
procedure. Massage therapists are finding the Vibrational Sound
Therapy to be the perfect addition to the knowledge base they are
already working with. The procedure is designed to be performed on a
massage table so the equipment is very similar as well, but that is
where the comparison ends. The Vibrational Sound Therapy Method
allows the busy massage professional to provide a treatment that is as
gentle to the practitioner as it is to the client. For energy workers,
Reiki Masters, and practitioners of Qi-gong, we find a synchronous
harmony with the Vibrational Sound Therapy blending seamlessly with
almost all forms of energy work and healing. Most of you are already
using singing bowls to some degree. For those of you already
experienced in the use of the bowls the modality will flow smoothly.
For the beginner we have provided a structure that is simple and easy
to follow, yet unanimously effective. In addition to the Vibrational
Sound Therapy taught with a handful of variations, several other
techniques are taught and explained in the class such as using the
bowls, or combinations of the bowls in grounding or energizing
techniques. These expanded techniques provide more physical
demonstrations of the power of the Therapeutic grade singing bowls.
This helps to give clients both existing and prospective a great
introduction to the power of the bowls. As the Vibrational Sound
Therapy intensive workshop progresses, the discussions delve deeper
and deeper into the concepts behind both the modality itself and live
performance of sound meditations and sound concerts. Basic principles
of music theory are presented in the manner that they relate to the
sound of the bowls. Because of unique sonic characteristics found in
hand hammered singing bowls, some adaptation is required and
investigated, and the use of hand hammered singing bowls as meditative
sonic instruments is revealed. Who is the Vibrational Sound
Association (VSA) A committee of instructors with valuable experience
handles course instruction. The well of knowledge offered at the class
is filled with combined wisdom coming from the backgrounds of
musicians, recording engineers, sound therapists, and sonic
visionaries. This potent combination is coupled with the founder of
the organization that is the largest importer of singing bowls in the
USA, Jeff Howard. Jeff Howard has over fifteen years of experience
with singing bowls, traveling the world and learning about sound
therapy in many cultures including Tibet, Nepal, India, Thailand, USA,
and China. Jeff created the Vibrational Sound Association (VSA) to
offer singing bowl therapy designed with the professional and
practitioner in mind. Our course is now used in Spas, Hospitals,
Massage Therapy Clinics, Reiki Practices, and many other
organizations. The VSA is dedicated to the continued evolution of
the Vibrational Sound Therapy with singing bowls. Vibrational Sound
Therapy is a method of professionally using singing bowls and other
instruments on and around the body for therapy and relaxation. The
VSA seeks to further the use of these ancient tools in a professional,
modern, and structured modality that is an efficient relaxation and
therapy system. This is a secular course with no need for any specific
spiritual or religious beliefs and relies on proven methods of using
sound and vibration for therapy. Details of the Intensive Course
Including Vibrational Sound Therapy with practitioner certificate
Full 42 hour course includes instruction in the history and use of
sound therapy and massage, the effect of the vibration on the body,
the different types of bowls and how they are used, Methods of play,
which tools to use with each technique, practitioner client
relationship, basic business, and beyond. The Vibrational Sound
Therapy technique is broken down into both basic and advanced levels,
and live demonstrations and actual Vibrational Sound Therapy sessions
provide the student with hands-on knowledge and practice in using this
relaxation technique. Basic levels cover the sound therapy itself
while advanced levels delve deep into topics like binaural beats,
brain entrainment, aura energy, and the Chakra systems. Further
techniques are also illustrated in sound meditation and live concert
performance, which expand the abilities and knowledge of the
practitioner. A certificate of completion will be provided to those
who complete the course. Vibrational Sound Therapy Registration and
