Get to know my sound bowls
New to sound healing? That’s awesome, I love your curiosity!
There are many manyyyyyyy different types of sound healing instruments. Bowls and tuning forks, chimes and drums, flutes and gongs. The variety of instruments is as bright as the rainbow.
And that's a frequent comment that I get when folks join me for a sound bath, "Your bowls are so colorful!" Yes they are! Rather than opting for a set of white bowls (which do look lovely) this colorful set of frosted crystal bowls felt more authentically "me"
“Hi, nice to meet you…we’re the sound bowls!”
Wouldn’t it be fun if my bowls could talk and introduce themselves? In a way they do, just by sharing healing vibrations with you. But since they can’t literalllllllly chat with you, allow me to introduce you to my bowls 🌈

✨ Some fun details to share ✨
I chime or swirl the bowls using a rubber mallet and a suede mallet.
I play one or two bowls at a time, creating a harmony between the sounds.
There are two directions to swirl: bringing energy in (clockwise) releasing energy (counter clockwise)
The bowls can create an uplifting or relaxing effect.
Some folks prefer certain notes more than others. And because each sound bath is different, the same set of bowls might play differently in different spaces creating different sensations.
As I say at the beginning of each sound bath, "allow the energy to flow through you. You cannot do this wrong, simply lay and receive."
The equation, the magic is this: frequency + intention = healing.
And that is what I hope to share with you in one of my sound baths. Please join me for my weekly class: The Practice + Sound Healing on Wednesdays at 9:00 am Sedona House in Fells Point. I also work with corporate clients, small groups and private sessions, just send me a message and let’s get started.
If you're new to this modality, I’d love to answer your questions.
