Tibetan Bowl Sound Massage

Tibetan Bowl Sound Massage is profoundly relaxing. During the session, twelve metal Tibetan Sound Bowls are placed on the person’s body. The practitioner then tabs on the bowls following specific rhythm. As the bowls vibrate, they send waves of vibration throughout person’s body harmonizing cells. Beautiful sound produced by the Tibetan Bowls also have relaxing hypnotic effect on the brain, slowing brain waves and inducing deep meditative state.

On February 27, 2008, Juan Martinez, Acupuncture Physician and Doctor of Chinese Medicine performed an acutest on one of our clients with a help of a special machine that measures meridians. After this test, the client received a combination of Tibetan Bowl Sound Massage treatment and a Deep Tissue full body massage that altogether lasted for about 90 minutes. During this treatment I also incorporated Reiki and Merkaba prana healing. The results were astonishing! All meridians became normal! All three of us, Dr. Martinez, the client, and I were thrilled with the results! You can see the two tests in a graph below. The lower graph is a before test performed at 3:44 pm. The upper graph is after the treatment at 5:35 pm. You can also see on the upper graph the reading is very low. That reflects deep state of relaxation.

How Tibetan Bowl Sound Massage Works

Healing with the Power of Sound is one of the oldest and most natural forms of healing known to man.

The most basic element of the human being is the cell. The simplest way of communicating with the cells are through vibration. External vibrations cause a sympathetic resonance in the cells. When tapping a singing bowl placed on the body which consists of more than 70% of water, the sound transmitted cause the cell to resonate. The sound waves spread, as the concentric waves from a stone dropped in a pond, into larger and larger circles through blood, flesh, organs and even bones, relaxing them and at the same harmonizing and energizing them. In this way the more than 100 trillion cells that are the building blocks of the human body are receiving a gentle cell massage. A visual example of the cleansing power invoked here is what happens when we put jewelry or dentures into a supertonic bath and see how in a short while all the dirt and grime is shaken loose. In this way, sound can also release energy blockages through out the mind, body, and spirit.

Any sound affects the nervous system which in turn affects every cell in the body. The bowl vibrations are soothing enough to calm the nervous system yet powerful enough to travel deep into the body to penetrate the bones. Vibrations can travel into places you could never touch with your hands, to effect a healing that would be very difficult to recreate otherwise.

It is a combination between the sound of the bowl through the ear, over the eardrum and into the brain and the vibration of the bowl through the flesh of the body that causes the harmonizing, de-stressing effect of the bowls. The Tibetan Bowl Sound Massage practitioner taps the bowls in certain rhythms creating an entrancing energy.

When inner harmony is disturbed we loose our equilibrium. Every day stress makes us prone to illness and impairs our quality of life. Through sound massage such tensions and blockages in mind, body, and soul can be gently loosened. The sound massage therapy developed by the German engineer Peter Hess can stimulate and strengthen an individual’s self-healing powers.

Tibetan Bowl Sound Massage History

Sound therapy has long been used in the Far East, particularly in Nepal, India, and Tibet . The basis of the therapy is the effect that sound has on the body. According to Indian mythology, man was created from sound, and therefore IS sound. The practice of sound therapy was developed over five thousand years ago using what today is called Tibetan Singing Bowls. "Their origins are shrouded in mystery, but the antique bowls used today have a deep resonance, when struck properly." Their vibrations are compared to a pebble dropped in the water. The singing bowls with their rich overtones are placed at various points on the fully closed body or held near the body. They are then struck in a particular sequence. Different body regions resonate to different frequencies for example: the deeper sounding bowls are used with the lower body while the upper body and head benefit from the higher frequencies. A skilled practitioner is able to bring about deep relaxation in a short time by the method and force with which he or she strikes the bowl. Under such deep relaxation the body is able to absorb the benefits of the sound and physical variations that radiate out from the bowl.

Since the antique bowls are the only ones that provide the rich overtones for sound massage therapy Peter Hess realized that the supply would soon be exhausted just for his own sound massage center in Germany. With the Communist take-over of Tibet the techniques for making the bowl in the traditional fashion had been lost. For several years he experimented with metal bowls of similar weight and design with little success. On a trip to Nepal he discovered a 94 year old man who had been an apprentice to his father and remembered the formula for the twelve different metals used in making the bowls and the technique for their laborious manufacture. With the assistance of other artisans Peter Hess and the elderly craftsman were able to create a purity of sound found in the antique bowls. With this small cottage industry established in Nepal Peter Hess went on to develop his sound massage programs throughout Europe.

Now Dr. Telse Merry and her husband Dr. Dwayne Merry have brought this innovative, yet ancient therapy to the United States
