Singing Tibetan bowls also work like the restart
button on your computer. Sometimes, when things
just aren’t working on the computer, a restart is all
it takes to get it humming along properly. The body
and energetic field do the same thing with the right
Tibetan bowl. When the sound stops, the body and
field reset to their original healthy and harmonious
state. This stimulates the natural, healing response of
the body.
Sound goes through you. In fact, it goes through
you faster than it goes through the air. As the sound
of the bowl travels through your body, it creates
a movement in your atoms and molecules that
can loosen up emotional blocks, allowing them to
dissipate. It can also loosen up tight muscles, quiet
the constant chatter in the mind, and so much more.
TIP 3: LISTEN TO THE BIRDS
Meditation is a powerful way to calm the incessant
chatter in the mind. One of my favorite ways is what I
call “Sound Mindfulness Meditation.” Mindfulness is a
practice of noticing what is in the present moment.
The sound meditation has a long history in the Buddhist and
Taoist traditions and there are several ways to experience it.
One of the simplest ways is to listen intently to the
sounds around you. I love birdsong, so on my daily
walks, I listen intently to the sounds of the birds
around me. As I walk, I thoroughly experience the
songs as they fill my ears and being.
If I get distracted, I simply return to listening to the
birdsong. If there is any emotional response, I notice
it then return to listening to the birdsong. When my
walk is done, my mind is refreshed, clear, and focused.
This journey of life we share with each other is so full
of wonders and delights. Look for them and you will
find them all around you!
