With the modern rhythm of life, stress, anxiety disorder and even depression have become our constant companions. There are quite a few ways to deal with them, ranging from sessions with a psychologist to taking medication. However, experts are increasingly saying that meditation helps to reduce anxiety and find harmony. Among the most mysterious and bewitching practices are meditations with the help of singing bowls. About what advantages this type of meditation has and what sensations it gives during the session, we asked the journalist and sound therapist Ekaterina Garanina to tell .
Singing bowls are a musical instrument in the form of a vessel for water. Mysterious Tibet is considered the birthplace of singing bowls, and the history of their origin goes back to ancient times. Paired with a stick that acts as a resonator, the bowl produces deep vibrating sounds at high frequencies, reminiscent of the ringing of bells. This sound helps to immerse yourself in a state of trance and more effectively conduct a meditation session , and also has a beneficial effect on our psychological and emotional state.
Bowls are one of the methods of sound therapy. During practice, you pass through yourself the sound of high frequencies and vibrations from the bowls. Therefore, the effect is on several levels. At the bodily level - reduction of pain, improvement of blood flow, normalization of pressure and heart rate, improvement of concentration and functioning of internal organs. At the psychological level - improving mood and sleep, relieving stress and anxiety. And on a more subtle level - the harmonization of subtle bodies, the activation of the energy centers of the body and the opening of the chakras.
