Alchemy Crystal Bowl Sound Bath to support SAYCO: Saturday, June 7th, 2025

Join us for SAYCO Sound Bath.

Alchemy Crystal Bowl Sound Bath to support SAYCO

Quantum physicists tell us that “Everything in the Universe is vibration and sound” including us! We are vibrational beings and our bodies are made of mostly water, a wonderful conductor of vibration, therefore, our bodies respond positively to the healing, high frequencies of singing crystal bowls. 

A Singing Bowl Sound Bath is a full-body meditative experience. Those attending lie down on yoga mats and listen to the resonant sounds created by various crystal or metal bowls, often called singing bowls, played with a small wooden mallet. This creates an echoing-vibrating sound that ‘bathes’ your body. When we relax with the sound of the bowls, their vibrations can release mental and emotional pain (worries, fear, anger, sadness, anxiety, depression, insomnia), reduced tension and diminished pain, and can have a deep relaxation of both sides of the brain.

It’s an acoustic sound-healing journey that allows the listener to enter a meditative state to feel calm, relaxed, grounded, and focused. It has been described as floating on a cloud, feeling peaceful, happy, and energized.
