Our New Life Balance Series Presents

TIBETAN SINGING BOWL MEDITATION WORKSHOP

With Instructor: Sandee Conroy

Featured books are available in limited quantity and should be reserved prior to this event.

Everything vibrates, from the smallest molecule to the universe itself.  As long as it is vibrating, it is making some kind of sound -- we may not perceive the sound, it may be above or below the threshold of our hearing.  Every atom, molecule, cell, gland, and organ of the human body absorbs and emits sound and has its own natural, healthy frequency.  Everyone has a 'vibration signature' which reflects their emotional and physical health; and, just as a musical instrument can go out of tune with use, so can our bodies -- creating 'dis-harmony' or 'dis-ease'.  Singing Bowls can 're-tune' us to a state of harmony.  Sound can 'break-up', dissolve and remove these blockages -- whether physical or emotional.  Just like Ultra Sound is used today to break up kidney stones, clogged arteries -- singing bowls just take that application a step further.

The body tends to heal itself most effectively in a state of deep relaxation.  Using sound to evoke 'the relaxation response' is one of the simplest, non-invasive ways to promote harmony within the body.  The tones from the bowls help one to relax - and has been documented to create a measurable wave pattern equivalent to alpha waves in the brain, which instills a sense of deep relaxation.  

Tibetan Monks have used metal singing bowls for centuries -- it goes back some 2400 years.  We can now make these bowls from quartz crystal -- they have a greater purity of tone as quartz acts as an oscillator and magnifies the tone.  The sounds from the bowls are calming and induce a sense of peacefulness.  Regular listening to crystal bowls is a powerful, but gentle, way to balance the hemispheres of the brain, tune and re-harmonize molecular structure, and strengthen the mind, body and natural immune defense system.  They help radiate out negative energy and stress which restrict our body's ability to function at its fullest potential.  

At a minimum, the bowls are very relaxing, and provide a wonderful 'time-out' from a hectic life.  Just sit/lay and welcome, absorb the tones into your body.  Feel the stress, the 'gook' just vibrate out of you -- just 'drip' off your body.

Or you can 'target' a specific area of physical or emotional concern.  Use your focus/intention like a laser -- 'see' the vibrations 'breaking-up' any 'dis-ease' or 'dis-harmony'.

Or, use the energy from the bowls to magnify all the good in your life.  Use this time to 'create' your life -- telling the Universe (& feeling) what you want to see manifest in your life.

We encourage all who come to really USE the hour ... it is YOUR time.  No one is watching .... no one is judging.  Come take a break from the insanity of life and re-discover yourself .... you will be glad you did.  

***'Singing' Bowl Sessions are not recommended for those who are pregnant, have metal pins/sockets, or extreme ADD***  There is a $15.00 registration fee to be paid at the time of registration.  $17.50 at the door.  

A special reading treat for the kids. Local author, D.W. Gross will read from and sign copies of his wonderful children's book,

 Q! A Pirates Tale.

D.W. Gross will present in full Pirate regalia during this event. 

In this charming story for young readers, a pirate chooses to say “Q!” despite taunting from his fellow crew mates who say “Arrr”. When the crew is shipwrecked, it is up to the Q pirate to save the day. This rhyming story features a story and a message of diversity and acceptance which will appeal to young readers and their parents. The book also includes colorful illustrations created by D.W. Gross.

Gwynnedd-Mercy education professor, Mary Jo Pierantozzi states “"Q, A Pirate's Tale teaches young children about accepting those who seem different. It presents diversity in a simple, yet straightforward manner, to which all children can relate. It is a delightful story."

D.W. Gross has been writing and illustrating children’s books since he was in elementary school. During his time at Lafayette College, he studied English and art. David was first inspired to write “Q!” while at Lafayette. “Q! A Pirate Tale” is his first published work. David is pursuing a career in elementary education and is currently working on his second children’s story. David is also returning for his fifth season with the NJ Renaissance Kingdom, which will be celebrating its 20th anniversary at the Red Mill in Clinton. David lives in Washington, NJ, with his wife.
