Sound massage brings you harmony and balance

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.

Christine is a fully qualified sound relaxation coach authorised to teach sound massage under the Peter Hess Academy Spain. Peter Hess has spent 20 years studying the theory and practice of sound massage using therapy singing bowls and has perfected the art of producing authentic singing bowls made in varying sizes, shapes and metallic hues.

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.

Personal empathy is just as important as knowledge and practical experience when it comes to practicing successful sound massage therapy. In order to get the maximum benefit, you need to be confident that your practitioner understands you and your problems, and is equally aware of the different sounds and vibrations that the singing bowls will produce.

Chakra is an ancient Sanskrit which translates as ‘energy vortex’ or ‘powerhouse’, which refers to the circular motion of energy which is absorbed and processed by the chakras. They also known as ‘subtle sense’ organs, which respond to vibrations created by our levels of energy and consciousness, feeding from the energy line which runs along the spine, which allows each chakra to supply energy to a specific area of the body.

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.
