Sound massage brings you harmony and balance

Workshop Invitation - Introductory Course with Singing Bowls

Imagery & Sound Journeys use imagination and sounds to frame the story being told. They are read or related by a speaker and can have a therapeutic effect as a relaxation technique, achieving a deep calm and relaxed state. Reduced muscle tension leads to physical and mental relaxation. The listener creates or visualises inner images to accompany the text, thereby integrating pleasant sensations. In my experience, even people who have difficulty visualising manage to make it happen during the Imaginary & Sound Journey.

Adopting a holistic approach to wellness is essential for the equilibrium of the seven chakras, nourishing both the body and the spirit is vital, if you are to enjoy good health. That said, each chakra responds differently to specific food types. For example, the root chakra is nourished by protein rich spicy food, the sacral chakra needs sweetness such as fruit, nuts, vanilla, cinnamon and seeds, the stomach and solar plexus chakras responsible for our self-esteem and self-confidence are best served by cereals, bread and dairy, whereas leafy greens make the heart chakra stronger.

Anyone interested experiencing the soothing effects of a Sound…

When you experience a sound massage for relaxation, health or spiritual reasons, your practitioner will use a range of different therapy singing bowls; universal, heart and pelvic bowls. As their names suggest, there is a bowl suitable for each part of the body, the size, shape and weight determines the sound and strength of the vibrations. Rich tones and vibrations aside, the bowls are beautiful in their own right and are available varying hues of silver and gold, some shiny, some matt.

Practicing sound massage using therapy singing bowls involves much more than picking up a bowl and banging it. Derived from an ancient Asian art practiced over many years throughout Asia, Peter Hess, founder of the Peter Hess Institute has worked on perfecting a western method - supported by western science – which is attracting attention throughout Europe and the rest of the world.

Nada Brahma translates from Sanskrit to mean Sound is God, which is the perfect starting point to explain the importance – throughout the centuries - of the healing and soothing sounds of the singing bowls, gongs and cymbals in eastern culture. Sound massage has its origins in the Vedic art, which over the last 5000 years, has been seen as a holistic method of bringing harmony and balance to body, mind and spirit. Acknowledging that also in the western world, sound and vibration are inside us and also in the external world. It is understood that the rich overtones of the singing bowls and gongs can help us bring more harmony into our lives.
