How are the bowls used during the session?
Toward the end of the session, bowls are placed in various locations on or around the body. The bowls are struck at intervals determined by the needs of the client. Tonalities vary from client to client because each individual is a unique "sounding board" who resonates differently than anyone else. The sounds from the bowls change from session to session according to the physical, mental, and spiritual changes that have taken place in the client.

What are the benefits of the Tibetan Healing Bowls? When the sound waves produced by the Tibetan Healing Bowls were recorded, patterns equivalent to the brain's Alpha waves were discovered. (Alpha waves are present in the state that is achieved during meditation.) The sound vibrations from the bowls are instrumental in transporting the client into a deep state of relaxation during a session. The result is decreased tension related to fatigue, pain, anguish, depression, fear, anxiety, mental trauma, and general malaise. The sound from the bowls also has a musical quality, promoting a sense of well being and joy. The Sufi Master Hazrat Inayat Khan stated, "Music not only gives people strength but can also transport them to ecstasy."

Do the Tibetan Healing Bowls interfere with Craniosacral Therapy? The bowls actually enhance the craniosacral work and are an effective tool in further balancing and centering the client's energy level achieved during the session. The gentle, soothing sounds integrate balance at all levels of body, mind, and soul.
