" Rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul."

-Plato

Vibration and sound are powerful. When we connect to vibration and healing sounds we are transported back to ourselves and we are carried beyond into the landscape of the soul. Some surprising research shows how our bodies signal to our cells and communicate sonically and electromagnetically (research on sound) to activate healing potentials. Sound and vibration are much more than we realize.

Using vibration through a Singing Bowl (see research on the healing effect of singing bowls) is one way to activate the power of vibration and sound to increase spiritual aliveness. It doesn’t matter if you have never seen a singing bowl or even thought about vibration. When we allow vibration to carry us, we are moved.

Here is a simple practice to help you feel spiritual aliveness in the midst of this busy summer season. You can use an actual singing bowl or download a Singing Bowl App to engage this practice.  This practice is one that you can return to over and over with just a few moments of free time or when you want to sink in more deeply into the experience of joining vibration.

1.       Use a singing bowl or download a Singing Bowl app. Find a comfortable position and take a few cleansing breaths. 
2.       Place one hand over the Sacred Heart Center and Breathe in three times.
3.       Place your other hand over the Sacred Wisdom Center and breath down through your body.
4.       Ring the Singing Bowl or start the Singing Bowl App and follow the sound with your awareness.
5.       Pay attention from within your center to the vibration and follow it with your awareness until you don’t hear any sound.
6.       Notice what you are aware of within you and around you.
7.       What does your body feel like? What feels alive in this moment? 

Return to the Singing Bowl practice over and over when you need a quick return to center. Allow the vibration to communicate to you, within you (down into your cellular makeup), and carry you out into the unseen spaces around you. Allow sound to connect you.
