Sound Meditation with Singing Bowl
Overview
Singing bowl therapy dates back to the 12th century and has been used for meditation and rituals in Tibetan culture. Metal bowls produce a deep, penetrating sound that’s used to relax and restore the mind. A 2016 study found that singing bowl meditation reduced stress, anger, depression and fatigue. All of these things are known to impact our physical health in lowering the risk for disease, improve our emotional and mental well being.
The Science of Sound Healing
When sound waves reach our ears, they are converted into electrical signals that travel up the auditory nerve into the auditory cortex, the part of the brain that processes sound. Once sound waves reach our brains, they trigger responses in our bodies. This process alters our emotions, releases hormones and chemicals that affect both our bodies and our moods, and triggers certain impulses (for example, singing and dancing).
Research has shown that the sound waves floods our brains with dopamine — the happy chemical. It also releases Oxycontin, a natural painkiller and hormone that allows us to bond with and trust people.
Sound Healing Meditation with Singing bowl and Gong
During the session, you will experience meditation with breath followed by sound therapy with singing bowls and gong to stimulate and balance the nervous system to deepen relaxation, improve sleep, improve memory and concentration, intuition, remove blockages and toxins, purify negative energies and emotions, promote sense of balance and clarity.

I enjoyed Shirley’s Sound Meditation as she played the Singing Bowl and gong really well it is like a melody to my ears. The meditation class led by Shirley is very therapeutic and healing, and the session is very cleansing and relaxing.
What I like about the chakra/sound meditation is we have good sharing session after each meditation so that we can share what we feel and then we get reassurance by Shirley that what we feel is pretty normal.
