Over the centuries many people have found relief from pain, stress, negative energy, and a variety of physical ailments through the sound and vibrations of Tibetan singing bowls, whose use has become increasingly popular in the West. This book offers techniques for using singing bowls for meditation, relaxation, and healing ailments such as insomnia, headache, stress-related intestinal disorders, and high blood pressure. It also includes techniques for using the bowls in conjunction with massage therapy, chiropractic, and acupuncture. A downloadable audio demonstration of some of the methods is available to readers of the book. This expanded edition of How to Heal with Singing Bowls includes 20 new procedures for treating conditions such as neck and shoulder tension and muscle cramps throughout the body. Other new material includes using the bowls with yoga postures, massage, and heated herbal therapy packs to increase energy flow and balance and promote relaxation. This remains one of the few books on the market with step-by-step instructions for the therapeutic use of singing bowls. Much of the new information in this edition was requested by readers and by students in the authors classes. |
