“Rhythm and harmony find their way into the secret places of the soul.” – Plato
Treatment with singing bowls helps to get rid of nervousness, gives a feeling of calmness and, harmony. Knowing how to use this magic tool correctly, we can keep our youth and health for a long time.
THE HISTORY OF THE SINGING BOWLS TREATMENT
The sound vibrations produced by the bowls affect the energy of the human body and the surrounding space. The unusual music they produce is full of harmony, its powerful energy contributes to complete relaxation. During a relaxation session, it is easy to immerse yourself in a meditative state under these sounds.
For a long time, singing bowls have been known in many Asian countries and have been used to accompany meditations, magical and ritual events.
Currently, they continue to be used for the same purpose: the melody sounds during meditation, help turn off restless movement of your thoughts.
The shape and use of a unique metal alloy create a unique combination of sounds that cannot be reproduced with the help of other musical instruments. The melody of the singing bowls spreads in space, filling it with positive energy.
These instruments belong to the culture of the peoples who lived in the Himalayan region thousands of years ago. From there, they began to be distributed to Tibetan and Indian monasteries, and later the inhabitants of Nepal, Bhutan and the Ladakh Valley began to use them in their rituals. Nowadays singing bowls are used all over the world. Their popularity is growing due to the fact that the sound has a healing and cleansing effect. Traditional singing bowls are made by masters of Tibet, Nepal and India.
The history of this unusual instrument goes back a long way. The existence of singing bowls has been known since 560-484 BC. The symbols of vessels in the form of a bowl are present in many cultures. Of course, this does not necessarily mean using them as a sound instrument.
Stories and legends about the appearance of singing bowls are diverse, it is believed that the sound generated in the bowl is the result of an alchemical reaction from the meeting of the feminine (actually the bowl itself) and the masculine (wooden stick). Traditionally in Tibet, bowls are made from an alloy of seven metals, each of which corresponds to a planet of the solar system and a certain system of the human body.
The appearance of singing bowls in the everyday life of Tibetan monasteries is shrouded in many legends and myths.
According to the legend about the origin of these musical instruments, their appearance is associated with Spirits who appeared before the Lamas and brought the news that soon people will be able to receive answers from the Cosmic Mind with the help of a powerful energy source. His material embodiment will be an object resembling a bowl. To make a tool, you need to take seven metals: zinc, lead, copper, brass, silver and gold. Six elements were named, but the seventh was not, so for a long-time people could not make objects that would bring healing with their sound. The monks again and again asked for the help of higher powers. And then there was a rain of small meteorites in the mountains, from which people managed to get iron ore. It was added as a missing element in the manufacture of singing bowls that help with treatment.
THE PRINCIPLE OF TREATMENT WITH SINGING BOWLS
The entire space of the Earth is permeated with energy waves that come from different sources. Every living being and everything that is considered to be inanimate (for example, stones, cosmic bodies) radiate energy. But a person is not aware of most of its types, so such an impact remains, as it were, unnoticed by our five basic senses. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to live with such a powerful pressure.
In the universe, all physical bodies sing in different voices. And even every thought and emotion have its own energy sent to the surrounding space. We are entangled with energy flows and threads, like a web. Therefore, in the company of cheerful, positive people, it is joyful and easy for us, and waves of negative force come from an irritated and angry person. Nowadays it is necessary to learn to resist this pressure of external influences, to tune in to calmness and positive emotions.
You can get rid of the negative influence in various ways, for example, listening to the melodious sound of Tibetan instruments. Psychologists also recommend using singing bowls for treatment.
If you need to quickly regain strength, find peace, then take a bowl and a wooden stick, lightly hit or rub it on the edge of the singing bowls. Your body and the whole room are filled with a pleasant melody, they will sound on the same wave. Sound vibrations will clear the surrounding space of negative energy, and you will feel much better, your mood will rise without any effort.
Hold this magical object in your hands for just three minutes, listening to its melody, and you will notice that it has become easier for you to concentrate. Treatment with the sound of singing bowls will help restore the energy flow in the chakras. Even short sessions help to improve the condition, help to cope with fears and negative emotions.
Another method of treatment with the help of singing bowls is as follows: clean water is poured into a vessel at a comfortable temperature at about 5 cm, a natural mineral is placed on the bottom and the sounds are extracted. After the end of the session, you need to drink this healing drink. The procedure helps to relieve internal heat and eliminates negativity. It is not recommended to use salt water.
The blocked chakra of the “third eye” is often manifested by symptoms in the form of headaches and depression. In this case, the procedure with water will also help. Pour the liquid into a regular polyethylene bag (the person should lie on his back with a towel over his eyes) and pierce it so that the drops flow down onto the patient’s forehead. Stir the bag up and down a little. Ten minutes is enough for the healing effect.
Today, the treatment of the collar and cervical sections and, in general, the entire spine are also popular. To conduct an energy massage session, a person lies down, and one or more bowls are placed on certain parts of his body. Sound waves harmonize the movement of internal energy flows.
Treatment in this case means a return to a calm state, relaxation of clamped muscles, and elimination of pain. Healing monks claim that sounds connect the body and soul with the mind of the Universe. Through this contact, a therapeutic effect occurs.
Musical vibrations rearrange the energy of internal organs and systems into harmonious vibrations. The subtle bodies of a person and his physical body come into a balanced state.
CHAKRAS AND SINGING BOWLS TREATMENT
In the ancient spiritual tractates of the East, the state of the physical body of a human being was considered in inseparable connection with the state of its energy centers, or chakras. The cause of any disease was called a violation of balance or blocking of energy in the chakra, which numbered hundreds or even thousands. Each cell of the body can be considered as an energy center. But today it is customary to talk about the seven chakras located along the spine from the crown to the coccyx.
Therapy begins when a person focuses attention on the diseased organ, and the bowls emit a sound for the corresponding chakra. Therefore, for the treatment of singing bowls, it is necessary to listen to precisely selected notes.
THEN THE CENTER OF ENERGY VIBRATES IN UNISON:
MULADHARA – the note “Do” – is responsible for survival, instinctive reactions, vitality, health. Treatment with the sounds of bowls increases energy levels and endurance.
SVADHISTHANA – the note “Re” – symbolizes motherhood, sexuality, fertilization. Sounding on this note leads to an increase in creativity and the disclosure of talents. Diseases of the reproductive organs of women and men are cured.
MANIPURA – the note “Mi” is the center of the solar plexus, responsible for willpower, charisma, brightness. The harmonization of Manipura helps in the treatment of nervous exhaustion, gastrointestinal diseases, strengthens the will, the pursuit of goals.
ANAHATA – the note “Fa” – is responsible for the opening of the heart, the ability to accept and manifest unconditional love. A sound treatment session relieves the painful feeling of resentment, returns warmth and love to the heart.
VISHUDHA – the note “Sol” – is responsible for speaking, expressing one’s thoughts and emotions with the help of voice. It often happens that a person does not express his feelings, which blocks the chakra. Sound treatment relieves these spasms, there is liberation and purification, even through tears.
AJNA – the note “La” – the harmonization of the chakra helps to strengthen intuition, insight, clairvoyance and other abilities.
SAHASRARA – the note “Si” – reveals to a person his mission, connects with the Source, the Creator. Harmonization with the help of bowls helps to get the support of higher powers.
IF POSSIBLE, TRY THE EFFECT OF SUCH SOUNDS ON YOURSELF:
- Sit down or lie down in a comfortable position.
- Try not to think about anything, relax the muscles of the face and the whole body.
- Take a pestle and run it along the wall of the bowl, tune in to the sounds that arise. Feel how they penetrate into every cell.
- Tune in to the right tone and start singing the vowels in unison in turn: “A”, “I”, “O”, “U”, “Oum”.
- Complete the exercise by switching to even breathing.
Self-treatment with singing bowls can be carried out if you do not have contraindications. Alternatively, you can also immerse yourself in meditation to the cosmic sound of the bowls.
THERE IS A CERTAIN METHOD OF PERFORMING THE SESSION:
- It is necessary to sit down or lie down so that you are comfortable.
- Try to relax your body completely.
- Slowly inhale on the count of “one-two” and exhale in four counts. So do it several times.
- Focus mentally on the chakra, internal organ or part of the body that requires treatment. If you have audio recording enabled, then give yourself the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the sounds. If you use the bowl yourself, then start slowly dragging along the walls with your fingertips or a stick, creating a melody, listening and being filled with new energy.
- Finally, open your eyes, take a few deep breaths and exhale. End the session with words of gratitude to the instrument, to yourself, to the world.
