Happy, Little, Time Waster

 In yesterday's Friday Five Good Things, I mentioned I had participated in a virtual sound bath. (Virtual as the facilitator performed the sound bath in a Zoom meeting) Lots of readers were wondering what I was talking about.

The sounds are played on crystal bowls. Similar to running a wet finger around a wine glass but the practitioner uses a mallet. Each bowl corresponds to one of the seven Chakra points in the body. These are energy centers in the body. The tones are used in meditation and healing.


Sound Healing with Crystal Bowls

  1. Is there an immediately noticeable effect or is it cumulative? Off to go down that rabbit hole now.

    1. It will depend on how in tune you are with your body to see how the tones effect you.

    1. It's very possible. The bowls are supposed to be tuned to the frequencies of the human body. It's also possible the way the practitioner plays effects things, too

  4. Oh, I fear I am too hectic for this. My BIL gave me a book on meditation...I just cannot relax enough. But it sounds good!

  7. Ah ha. I have heard of this now that you mention it. I hope you're not due to get a lot of snow. Early in the week they said a couple of inches and now they say it might be as much as 8. Oh boy.

    1. The forecast this morning was for a wide 6 - 10 inches. The higher elevations may get a foot. That might be my town at an elevation of 705 ft.
