We held our first yoga event on December 15th, Crystal Bowl Sound Healing & Mini Mukti Experience and it was a delight! Mantra, a simple vinyasa flow, and a delightful sound bath for a long final relaxation (sivasana).
For those of you you've never tried Jivamukti yoga, I'd highly recommend trying it. It is physical, ethical, and spiritual practice, combining a vinyasa-based physical style with adherence to five central tenets: scripture, devotion, nonviolence or non-harming, music, and meditation. My first teacher ever was a Jivamukti teacher and I was hooked!
The sound bath from the crystal bowls was just heavenly. It's difficult to articulate in words but imagine a sound that just embraces your physical body while lulling you into a deep relaxation. I swear I feel asleep during a few points last night.
Not only do they sound amazing, there are many benefits to using crystal bowls including, bot not limited to:
Reduce stress & anxiety
Stimulates the immune system
Lowering blood pressure
Deep relaxation & pain relief
Chakra (energy ceneters or channels) cleansing & balancing
Calm overactive adrenals
Mental & emotional clarity
I didn't realize all of the benefits of crystal bowl sound healing till I researched it for this blog! I'll do my best to hold future sound baths so that we can all reap the benefits.
