You can easily earn back your investment in this course with one or two paid sessions. Also, you'll be part of a growing trend. The field of Sound Energy Healing is growing rapidly, and is being more and more accepted as a viable healing modality by modern experts, scientists, and healing professionals.    Here are just a few quotes from experts in the sciences and healing arts: "If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes. Sound can redress imbalances on every level of physiologic functioning and can play a positive role in the treatment of virtually any medical disorder. Sound enters the healing equation from several directions: It may alter cellular functions through energetic effects; it may entrain biological systems to function more homeostatically; it may calm the mind and therefore the body; or it may have emotional effects, which influence neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, which in turn help to regulate the immune system--the healer within." Mitchell Gaynor, M.D., Director of Medical Oncology and Integrative Medicine at the Strang-Cornell Cancer Prevention Center and New York Hospital and author of the book The Healing Power of Sound : Recovery from Life-Threatening Illness Using Sound, Voice, and Music "Sound therapy is one of the prototypical vibrational healing modalities. Sound produces measurable vibratory feelings throughout the body, depending upon the frequency and amplitude of the sound used. There have been a wide variety of sound healing developments over the last ten to twenty years. Certain sounds most likely have a healing influence upon the body because they influence the geometric patterns and organization of cells and living systems". Dr. Richard Gerber, author of Vibrational Medicine "When the internal and external are at odds with each other--dissonant--the result is disease or a break in harmony. In tonal music the appreciator sought the fundamental in the music as a metaphor of spiritual unity, the ending of a journey. In new music one seeks the fundamental in one's self; the return to the fundamental is anywhere, anytime, and any direction, because the fundamental is everywhere and here". David Bohm, quantum physicist, author of Wholeness and the Implicate Order "We know that sounds are stimulating and we also have the technology to be able, in fact, to recharge people with them…The ear, the vibration sensor, serves to charge the organism with electrical potential…The charge of energy obtained from the influx of nervous impulses reaches the cortex [of the brain], which then distributes it [the energy] throughout the body toning up the whole system and imparting greater dynamism to the human being".

Three Ways to Make Your Sound Healing Practice More Effective

Diane Mandle Singing Tibetan Bowls

Over the past ten years I have observed students and practitioners alike with their Tibetan bowls. Whether you have one bowl or many, there are several things you can do to maximize the effectiveness of sound healing.

1. Pay attention to the Direction you are singing the bowl in. Clockwise will help either release and ground tension/ energy OR expand & strengthen it depending on the INTENTION you bring to the gesture. Counter–clockwise will help to re-awaken the energy and /or nourish a weak area.

2. Use Rhythm and Pace as you play. Slow and spaced out striking of a bowl will create a calming effect. Faster will energize. You can strike a bowl once and let the sound dissipate or several times in succession to create more energy and an enlivening atmosphere. If you have three bowls play with rhythm &pace to create different textures and see how they affect the environment.

3. Consider how when you add volume to the two practices above; that changes the energetic outcome as well. Start slow and very quiet. Try building slow and low to slow and louder. Then practice slow and low to faster and louder. Using these three methods will give you a whole new range of textures to work with as you explore the world of sound healing. My home study course, Ancient Sounds for a New Age, offers more tips and a structured approach to working with the Sacred Sound Instruments.  

Diáne Mandle is founder of the Tibetan Bowl Sound Healing School and Sound Energy Healing, providing resources, services, events, and training in the use of the Tibetan Sacred Sound instruments. 

Diane Mandle of the Tibetan Bowl School and soundenergyhealing.com demonstrates some master quality Tibetan singing bowls used in sound healing concerts, meditation and sound healing session. These bowls are rare and of the finest quality. Listen to how their vibrations fill the space and take you in at the same time.

Sarasvati's Dream by Diane Mandle is a cd that energizes the Divine Feminine within each of us and nudges our creativity. The music is rich with the textures of Tibetan singing bowls, gantas ( bells) digeredoo, gongs, tembura and vocals. Sarasvati is the goddess of  audible arts said to bring the beauty of heaven to earth. The cd represents a journey into the dreamscape of beauty and possibility.

All Beings have a journey while on this earth. If they do not complete their journey this time, they may come back again and again to fulfill their path. What is your path? I post this on my Sound Energy Healing blog because the Tibetan singing bowls are tools created to help us get in touch with our essence and in that way become clearer as to what our path is.

Moving Energy

When we use bowls in sound healing sessions, we can use patterns that represent movement. This beautiful pattern of sacred geometry used in the context of a sound healing session with Tibetan bowls can be effective to either expand the strength of an issue you might be working on or to bring focus to it.. The ganta (bell) especially is useful in moving the energy in specific patterns and in fact, the ganta is all about moving energy.  Want to learn more? Visit our school at: www.tibetanbowlschool.com

Tibetan Singing Bowls

There are so many kinds of Himalayan (Tibetan) singing bowls and a variety of qualities as well. Some sound sweet but the sound have no longevity. Some have great energy but are not harmonious with other bowls. Some are more geared to consciousness transformation and some to physical healing. Some are great sound healing practitioner quality and some are Master quality.. It is hard to know what to get. Every bowl we sell is of the highest quality and comes with an education . Visit our  Tibetan Bowls School

Sacred Geometry with Sound Healing

 Sacred Geometric patterns reflect the blueprint of all life forms. In my sound healing concerts I project stunning images of sacred geometry and invite you to look at them with a soft gaze. This helps to energize parts of the brain that don't normally get much action. By the time I start to play the Tibetan singing bowls you are in a wonderful expanded meditative zone!

This beautiful dragonfly is a symbol of transformation. What does it take to transform areas of our lives? When we surround ourselves with sacred art and sacred sound, these tools help us to expand our consciousness because they emit frequencies that we align with.  You can choose to wear gemstones that will help you in a specific area of your life.. or colors. When you combine these elements with sacred sound the effect is amplified. If you are reading this, you already know that the sound of Tibetan singing bowls used in meditation and in combination with sacred stones, art and color will change things in and around you.  Can I have a witness?

There are many tools and gifts in the universe to help us open our hearts. The Tibetan singing bowls are one of them. These sacred instruments deepen our meditation, and help us to release our ego boundaries so we can be bigger than our perceived selves and open our hearts more and more.

Sound Energy Healing

We listen and work with Tibetan singing bowls to shift our perception from our seduction into past or future 'stories' and 'fear' to present moment.  Even the simple act of just listening with focused attention to the singing bowls brings us into a kind of sound healing meditation that is about "right now". When we are in present moment and not in the clutches of one story or the other, we can see things in a clear manner and respond rather than react.  To learn more about the sacred sound family of instruments visit www.tibetanbowlschool.com.

We Are What We Believe

Really, it is so simple to change a circumstance. We need to change our attitude and thoughts about it. That is not to say it is easy. Changing our thoughts from habitual to chosen is something we have the opportunity to practice over and over throughout our lifetime. Every challenging situation, every person we have trouble with, every circumstance we experience as negative is such an opportunity. One way to think about this is to recognize that any relationship is really a reflection of the part of you that shows up in that relationship. This includes our relationship with ourselves. This morning a quote from Beliefnet came across my desk and seemed reflect this issue.

"Whatever attitudes we habitually use toward ourselves, we will use on others, and whatever attitutes we habitually use on others, we will use on ourselves. This situation is comparable to serving food to ourselves and to other people from the same bowl. Everyone ends up eating the same thing-we must examine carefully what we are dishing out. "
-Bhante Heneopla GUnaratana- Eight Mindful Steps to Happiness"

Fortunately, we have support: Positive people, books and activities that help to shift our thinking patterns from rote to chosen train us. Sound healing sessions and meditations with the Tibetan Singing Bowls are effective in helping us to become conscious of our belief systems and actions, and to reawaken us to our true essence, which is always compassionate and loving. This is their purpose, to transform consciousness and create healing.

Sound healing and Our Ears

Did you know that sound or hearing is one of the first senses that we develop? A human fetus can hear its mothers voice when it is only 18 weeks old. Though researchers are still learning about how sound effects the growing brain at this stage, one thing is for sure; sound, especially high frequency sound increases the electrical potential of the brain. The high frequencies in sound healing through Tibetan singing bowls uses this to induce our brains into deep meditative and peaceful states which aids all aspects of healing.
In addition, the vagus nerve, known as the traveler nerve, goes from out brain stem to all the major organs in our bodies. This nerve has antennas in our inner ear so the healing properties of the singing bowls is also delivered in this manner to speed up the healing process.

New Sound Energy Healing Video Channel

Check out my new YouTube Channel and stay tuned for regular additions to Sound Energy Healing. I will be posting more videos on how to use the Tibetan singing bowls for personal development and healing. Also, some quality videos from my colleagues will be posted there.

Looking for Venues

Every year I take several wonderful journeys to various places to offer Tibetan bowl sound healing concerts, workshops and private sessions. One of my favorite places is the Sierra Nevadas with the beautiful vistas, the charming towns, and when there is time, a stopover at Sierraville hot springs. I revisit places I have been and seek new venues. This year I plan to tour in May and would love some suggestions for new places: large yoga studios, churches, even small group gatherings. The idea is to travel up the coast from Encinitas then cross over to places like Folsom, Auburn, Reno and come back via Fresno... So anything around that route would be great. Sound energy healing is gaining more and more recognition internationally. I am committed to helping to educate people not only about the instruments, but also how Tibetan Buddhist principals influence how they are used.

Fundraiser for Tibetan Temple

It was an awesome place to do a sound healing concert. A huge home in San Diego with gardens, fountains, enormous fireplaces and expansive rooms. Setting up my Tibetan singing bowls and Chiron gong I had a feeling that the instruments were longing to sing. When Drupon Samten Rinpoche arrived with his assistant and set up Tibetan flags, jewelry and other items to sell, the setting felt complete. I played for an hour and as expected the bowls and gongs sang out like old friends. The best part was how well Rinpoche was able to express what I was doing with the instruments after the concert. He said that the music was an expression of beauty and peace. The gong I play in a textural manner and then expands into a crescendo of sound. Rinpoche said that our egos need to be overcome and the loud sound did just that- quieting the ego and allowing us to just feel ourselves in space/time without anything else going on. It was a lovely and accessible description of what I was doing. After that he offered a meditation and New Year Blessing. A perfect end to a wonderful day.

Sound Healing and Consciousness

Over the years the voice of my inner critic has changed a great deal, thanks to working with the Tibetan singing bowls. These instruments that teach compassion through their magnificent voices, that touch the soul and help us to remember who we are have made a major impact on my own life and the lives of my sound healing students and clients. It is good to once in a while, acknowledge our accomplishments and the other day, when I surprised myself with a tone of voice that did not match the image of who I want to be.. I just stopped. This voice has been part of me for a long time and pops up now and then, when I am tired, irritated or rushed. It is a voice that does not feel good to me or to the person receiving it. I am speaking here of a tone of voice rather than words used. In working with the bowls daily, I am able to access the highest part of myself. I do not require that I walk around ignoring my humanity tho.. But in this case the tone just didn't feel acceptable anymore.. I recognized that I had far outgrown the need to express myself in that way. I just released it because it no longer serves me rather than because I felt I should. The tone has been replaced by a moment.. a pause, a silence in which I can make a decision rather than a habitual reaction. The singing bowls, bring us into alignment so in using them often alignment becomes the norm rather than the exception. In this way what is not in alignment falls away simply because it feels right. I'd love to hear your stories about how the bowls have impacted on your life. Check out the websites at http://www.soundenergyhealing.com and http://www.tibetanbowlschool.com
