Ancient Tibetan Singing Bowls and healing Crystal Alchemy bowls will surround the room to create varying notes and vibrations.  Sound waves are said to calm the nervous system and balance the ‘subtle body,’ energy that vibrates throughout the innermost layers of the body. In addition to balancing the subtle body, this holistic practice of sound bathing has also been known to work wonders for stress relief, insomnia, anxiety, chronic pain, and even depression. Sound healing therapy uses aspects of sound and music to improve physical and emotional health and well-being. Rich audible tones and invisible frequencies are used and our bodies resonate with those frequencies, which can have deep effects on our breath, our blood flow, our cellular movement, our biorhythms, our thoughts, and our brain waves. The vibrations of the bowls are amazingly efficient to help vital energy flow freely. Expect to feel a deep sense of relaxation, relief from physical and/or emotional pain, a sensation of lightness as the body lets go of past emotional and physical issues.
