The Sacred Medicine of Sound
Bowls
The crystal singing bowls are made of 99.993% purest quartz crystal sand, making them incredibly resonant. The bowls are especially designed so they are specifically tuned most accurately to the 7 chakras.
Each bowl emit a powerful, pure resonant sound. The tones produced by these crystal bowls are not just heard by the ear, you feel them in your body, affecting your energy centers (chakras) for healing, mindfulness and meditation. These bowls are much more reverberating with the tone lasting longer, simply because of the size specific tuning and amount of pure crystal.
Gongs
The Jupiter Planet Gong by Paiste represents expansion, abundance and optimism.
When we sound the Jupiter gong we stimulate growth at our most outer limits, where we have yet to define goals and set boundaries. It vibrates us into an awareness of ourselves as participants in the greater body of life, engendering feelings of abundance and a sparked recognition of the unlimited resources that surround us.
The Jupiter gong may be used to stimulate consciousness, bringing awareness to universal issues of philosophical, spiritual and mythical importance. It helps to cleanse stagnant liver energy, aiding in the release of suppressed anger and supplicating addictive attachments to the material world. As a ceremonial gong it unites groups of individuals to be of “one mind” in order to achieve goals for the common good.
Flute
The Native American flute I use during my sound ceremonies is from Oscar Rojas.
According to the research paper An Exploration of Physiological Responses to the Native American Flute by Eric B. Miller and Clinton F. Goss, our heart rate drops and physical responses improve when we hear the music of a Native American flute.
At the same time more rhythmic and expressive sounds can exhilarate your brain. It's when very often an emotional release happens where anxiety, stress or deep emotions are coming out and discharged from your body. It's a good thing when it happens just keep breathing through the experience. You will feel revived and refreshed.
