Sound Healing
Sound healing with Tibetan bowls and Gong
Through the healing sound of Tibetan bowls and gongs, we will have the opportunity to heal and let go of what we no longer need in our lives, as well as reach states of deep relaxation and calm that allow us to release physical and emotional tensions and reduce stress levels in our body.
We also balance the aura and energy centers to reach that longed-for harmony. Through the richness of harmonic tones, we will experience the effects they produce on a physical, emotional and energetic level, working in an integral way with body and mind.
We will immerse ourselves in the mystery of this deeply healing ancient practice. In the sound of Tibetan bowls, we find the melody of the soul. Each note is an invitation to serenity and a caress for the mind and spirit. Its sounds take us to a state of deep inner peace and relaxation, where time stops and only the present moment exists. Breathe deeply and relax as you listen to the sound of the bowls and gongs, allowing the sound vibrations to penetrate your body and mind, immersing you in deep states of relaxation and peace.
Through their beautiful sound and powerful vibrations, these instruments invite us to connect with our inner self and find peace and harmony in the midst of this hectic, immediate-focused world.
The Tibetan bowls and the gong
Tibetan bowls
There is much mystery surrounding the origin of Tibetan singing bowls and little is known about them. There are wonderful stories and different opinions, but their exact origin has not been confirmed. It is believed that they date back 4000 years, although
there is no certainty about this. What is known is that they were used by Buddhist monks in meditation ceremonies and as healing tools.
The first singing bowls were made in the homes of artisans and this knowledge was passed down from generation to generation. Over the years, the use of Tibetan singing bowls has spread throughout the Western world as a powerful tool for meditation and relaxation.
Today, Tibetan singing bowls are handmade in the Himalayan regions, especially in Nepal, Tibet, India, Bangladesh and Bhutan, and are made from an alloy of 5 to 9 metals such as copper, silver, lead, tin, iron, zinc, nickel, mercury and gold. Each bowl is unique in its shape, size, thickness, and design, which influences its sound and effects.
Today, the mystical sounds of singing bowls can be heard in many different places, such as healing centers, yoga studios, temples, and more. Bowls are undoubtedly as powerful a spiritual, medicinal, and musical tool as they were thousands of years ago.
Different uses
There is a wide variety of Tibetan bowls, but we can group them into three types:
meditation bowls, singing bowls, and healing bowls.
They all have a fundamental note and a great wealth of harmonics, thus generating a series of sounds that respect the harmonic scale studied by Pythagoras in the West.
These harmonic frequencies are emitted together when playing the bowl, and therefore, when listening to them, we quickly enter a state of relaxation.
Their main use is focused on meditation, since their harmonic sounds facilitate concentration and introspection, although they are also used as sound therapy by performing a vibrational massage on the body, helping to balance the energy centers, release blockages and relieve stress and other physical and mental ailments.

The main gong manufacturers in the ancient world are found in China, Burma, Java and Vietnam, although today they are made in other places including several countries in Europe.
The gong is a disc-shaped percussion instrument. They are mainly made of bronze and brass to give it its hardness.
