Guided meditation session whilst playing quartz crystal bowls. Crystal sound therapy is a vibrational remedy that uses the principle of resonance. As the sound waves enter the body, sympathetic vibrations occur within the cells. If an organ or system is out of balance (normal vibrational frequency) we can use a vibrational remedy to bring it back into its normal pattern. The overall effect can be likened to a deep massage at the atomic & molecular level. Materials: Bring yoga mat/cushion, water & a light rug (Class dates: 28 Oct, 25 Nov & 9 Dec)
