Fireworks for the Soul

A Tibetan Bowl and Gong Experience
with Diane Mandle

May 11th at 7:30pm

Ancient instruments, including Tibetan singing bowls are 'struck and sung' in specific rhythmic patterns to create vibrational sound harmonics at the frequency of "AUM" or "OM". This sound frequency known as that of Perfection impacts the sympathetic nervous system as your brain waves synchronize to the vibrations of the bowls. The harmonic vibrations engage the relaxation reflex and slow down the respiratory, brain and heart rate and disrupt the pain reflex creating a deep sense of well being.

Pricing:
$25, early bird cost $20 before 5/3/12
