SOUND BATH BY THE SEA
A multi-sensory experience where you will enjoy and learn first hand diverse sets of useful tools to reduce feelings of anxiety, fear, and other common patterns of stressful inertia.
Experience first hand the powerful multidimensional qualities of the quartz crystal singing bowls and get ready to enjoy the art!
This is a sonic experience that relaxes, balances, and promotes good health to the body, mind, and soul through the use of quartz bowls as instruments of sound therapy. The crystalline structure of quartz crystal happens to be very similar to the structure of our bones and DNA, both of which have a unique and true interaction with electricity.
Every time we make a quartz bowl “sing,” our bone structure resonates and "sings" too. This is important because our bones are the core of our physical and energetic structure.
Everyone will experience the benefits of this sonic session. All subjects covered in this workshop are non-dogmatic, fully honors, and respects all walks of life.
