Tibetan Singing/Sound Bowls
Sound healing is an ancient, powerful process using sounds frequencies to re-connect our mind, body and spirit. Using specific frequencies, these instruments can help tune the bodys cells to remove energy blocks, and improve physical and mental healing. Whilst creating a sence of calm.
A few examples of a typical meditation practice:
- Body Scan Meditation involves deep breathing, positive affirmations, and a scan of the body. It is designed to help you relax, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote healing.
