What is a Tibetan Bowl Concert?
Like any concert, this is an experience of listening, but more than passively receiving sound waves contacting eardrums, Tibetan bowls have a quality which is melodious, rich, and vibrant. Most people find the resonance of the bowls stirs intuition, triggers a deep relaxation, and fosters a sense of wholeness within oneself and within the world around us. In other words, by listening actively, with every cell of one’s body, meditation spontaneously arises. The brain and central nervous system relax deeply, breathing becomes easier and every fiber of one’s being is infused with a sense of ease.
Classical yoga is defined as “settling the mind into stillness.” Yet even the most experienced meditator knows the harder you try to do so, the more restless you become. Tibetan Singing Bowl Meditation is a practice of surfing the waves of thought and emotion which arise, peak and settle back into the vast and ocean of consciousness itself. The concert begins with a brief introduction to sound meditation and active listening, followed by a Tibetan Singing Bowl concert, and concludes by drifting into a short, expansive silence.
