Meditation can mean different things to different people. It can be done sitting or with movement. What type of meditation practice you adopt will depend on personal preferences and what you want to achieve from meditating. Meditation benefits the body and the mind. It calms and grounds the body, stills the mind and can open you up to the mysteries of life. Meditation can reduce stress, bring balance and peace, increase focus and concentration, improves efficiency and skill as well as bringing understanding and inspiration to your life. It can improve sleep and brings more calmness into your life.
Sound healing is a form of energy or vibrational healing. Every cell in your body has a frequency at which it naturally vibrates, the home frequency. Through resonance and entrainment the sound can bring cellular vibration back to the home frequency from a state of dis-ease. The pure tones of the crystal singing bowls massage the body at a cellular level, can improve your circulation, metabolism, the endocrine system, and clear chakras as well as aligning you with your higher self. According to French doctor Alfred Tomatis sound is to the nervous system what food is to the physical body.
The crystal singing bowl meditations at Chikitsa House combine the healing sounds of the singing bowls with breath based meditations, visualisation, insight or guided meditations such as chakra clearing. In these unique meditation classes you will explore and expand your meditation practice whether you are a beginner, sporadic or experienced meditator.
