Last week’s training completely changed the way I understand and feel about Tibetan bowl sound massage.
It all started when Lucy Bush, my aromatherapy tutor, placed a bowl on my hand and made it sound.. That sound, that vibration resonated deep within me. Hit me right in the solar plexus . I was taken completely by surprise. I connected with it and from there on, I have integrated sound in my life in a different way.
Going back to the training. I wasn’t sure what to expect. I didn’t know what the “technique” was going to be, specially as a trained massage therapist, using sound bowls seemed odd. After going through the training I can day it’s such a powerful and intuitive treatment. It literally is, running a Tibetan bowl over your body, whilst making it sound. Whilst there is an element of knowing how to do it and where to start, as a therapist, it is very much down to you identifying why the bowl gets ‘stuck” in a particular area, or why the sound changes or muffles when working on a specific part of the body.
Where’s the science behind this claims? You might think. Well, I have added some links at the end but,
The interpretation of the sound changes its a very interesting one, and possibly heavily influenced by each own way of seeing and living this world. What are your core beliefs in regard to how the human body works and interconnects with emotions? What is your understanding of how emotions manifest in the body? Is our body just a physical two dimensional plane, or, is it an expression of some thing else?
What I have come to realise is that the more I experience and learn, the more I open my mind to the different ways in which we channel our energy, our surrounding energy, and that when our soul aches, our body will ache in one way or another. And so sound healing, its a good tool to help find the way towards a more balanced relaxed state.
