HISTORY:Sound Massage with Singing Bowls has been used since ancient times in India and especially in the Himalayas for healing. The sacred scriptures of India state that human beings have been created from vibration/sound. The practice of sound healing has a long-standing association to many ancient cultures including India, Asia, Africa, Europe, indigenous Aboriginals and Native Americans. Within the Asian region, Tibetan singing bowls emerged from China/Tibet between 3000-4000 years ago, and fall into the ‘bell’ or ‘gong’ family. They were primarily used as sacred vibrational sound instruments to enhance meditative practice and connect to the higher realms of spiritual consciousness/existence.

 

     Sound Massage is scientifically recognized method that combines ancient sound healing methods that are adapted for today’s sophisticated modern world.  It is called this way because people who received this form of “sound healing” compared it to a gentle massage that was not only felt on the body, but also inside the body.

 

     Sound massage can be a preventative therapy and has shown a remarkable and swift improvement in many cases of physical, mental and emotional pain. Pains seem to melt away and one feels that emotional heaviness like worry or depression is lifted, leaving one to feel a pleasant lightness. The energy body, the aura, is cleared and one feels refreshed, and as if a burden has been taken off one’s shoulders.

 

     Sound massage helps in all areas of our being.

MAJOR BENEFITS OF SOUND MASSAGE

 

  • Fast achievement of deep relaxation —the sounds appeal to a person’s original trust. While there are many techniques that produce relaxation, many take time and effort to learn. The Sound-Massage takes a person there without active participation. Because of this, it is ideal for people who have a difficult time to relax and/or learn another relaxation technique.
  • Supports and promotes sleep. Because body, mind, and spirit finally can come to rest, many people, if not most, report a change in their sleep—easier falling asleep, staying asleep, and more restful sleep.
  • Gentle massage and harmonization of each individual body cell through sound. The sound vibrations penetrate the body and, thus, go deeper than a conventional massage. This also prepares the body for a regular massage.
  • Relief of tension and blockages in the body. Not only does the Sound-Massage relief the tension in the body, through the special application it also helps reduce pain. For many people holding tension in the body has become the “new normal,” and it needs help to remember what “NORMAL” feels like again.
  • The client experiences his/her body to be pleasantly light. Because the sounds work on a cellular level each cell receives a mini massage. This allows them to return to their normal state. And when each cell is allowed to vibrate freely the body responds in turn—instead of feeling heavy and dragged down, the body feels light and free.
  • Reinforces the healing process. There are many things that can hinder the healing process. One of the first order principles, and a special technique, of a Sound-Massage is to support the healthy. This in turn also promotes healing. For example,clinical studies have shown that fractures and wounds heal faster in people who received Sound-Massage was part of the post-treatment plan compared to the ones who didn’t.
  • Positive influence on self-confidence, creativity, and productive energy. Yes, you read right, just by receiving a Sound-Massage the body responds by working on other processes that boost self-confidence, creativity, and productive energy. How cool is that?
  • Letting go of old patterns —a new order can evolve. When we allow our mind to relax the chatter sooner or later will stop. People you practice meditation have know this for ages. Unfortunately, many people have a difficult time to attain this state. During a Sound-Massage this is a very natural process—without having to learn special meditation techniques that can take years to produce the desired results.
  • Attainment of new joy of life. People consistently reported that after receiving a series of sessions their outlook on life changed and they felt happier than before the sessions.Sound massage helps in all areas of our being.
  • The above highlights the main benefits. It doesn’t provide the exhaustive possibilities of more specific applications and its associated benefits.
