VIBRATIONAL HEALING WITH CRYSTAL BOWLS
Friday, July 9th 8 p.m.

How does sound heal the body?
When an organ or body part is healthy, it creates a natural resonant frequency in harmony with the rest of the body. There are many methods of healing with sound and the body heals itself most effectively in a state of deep relaxation. Using music to evoke “the relaxation response” is one of the simplest and most effective ways to promote healing.Crystals are fossilized water, formed when water combines with an element under certain conditions of pressure, temperature and energy. They amplify, transform, store, focus, and transfer energy.  Our bodies, too, are crystalline in structure. When working with crystals, there may be profound effects on the organs, tissues, and cells, as well as the circulatory, endocrine, and metabolic systems.

Thoughts are energy forms. When thought energy interacts with a crystal, those thoughts are changed to more harmonic forms, which change brainwave frequencies, showing possible alterations in consciousness. Thus, the power of positive intention or affirmation combined with the use of crystals provides remarkable healing result.

What are crystal bowls?  Crystal bowls are made from 99.992% pure crushed quartz and heated to about 4000 degrees in a centrifugal mold. They are available in clear or frosted bowls in a variety of sizes, ranging from 6 to 24 inches in diameter. The bowls emit a powerful, pure resonance. The larger bowls are much more reverberant, with the tone lingering longer, simply because of the size and amount of crystal. Each bowl is tested with digital technology to identify its sound. One will have a sense of which tone “feels” most congruent with individual needs or desires. The notes, C, D, E, F, G, A, B correspond with one’s energy centers or chakras.
