What are Tibetan singing bowls and how they help you relax

Sounds not only affect emotions, but also health. Buddhist monks have been using musical instruments for meditation and healing practices since ancient times. There is even an ancient Indian saying “the whole world is sound”, according to which the mind and body respond to any vibrations around. I was convinced of this in my own experience (and flew into space).

During the session our brain works on certain frequencies.

After a while I was already lying on a fragrant herbal bath mat. The stove hissed and moist steam immediately filled the room. Then the steam program began, during which the steam master juggled different brooms – birch, juniper, oak. At the same time he was sprinkling me with salt as gracefully as a popular Turkish cook Nusret does.

When my body was well steamed and relaxed, singing bowls were used, one of which was placed in the solar plexus area and the other on my stomach. This arrangement of the instrument on the body promotes better penetration of sound waves into the body, improving metabolism and blood circulation. When the steam master began to extract sound from the bowl with a special stick, a soft vibration spread through me.

The musical mantra of singing bowls was to my liking, especially after immersion in an icy stream, when my legs became absorbent cotton and I was carried to a cozy swing – and from there straight into space. All in all, the sensations were pleasant, and even very pleasant. In the endless flow of “work-home” sound therapy is a kind of oasis in the middle of the desert.

What are the benefits of singing bowls?

Sounds of singing bowls allow to prepare a person faster for the program of steaming, to enter a meditative state, to free the mind from vanity thoughts. And also to get rid of stress and achieve deep relaxation, inner peace and well-being. The sounds of the bowls pass through the body, improve the work of organs, “massaging” every cell of the body.

Amir: When we are in different states, the brain works at certain frequencies. We experience joy, love, harmony – on some frequencies, if we are angry, resentful – on others. People enter the steam room, bringing with them a plume of negative emotions from worldly life. And the bowls release from this load, help the master and the guest to get in tune, to be on the same vibrations. The human body consists mainly of water, a conductor of vibrations, which cause various reactions in the organism. Not only on the emotional level, but also through resonance on the cellular level.
