In this experientially based course, students personally experience the powerful healing effects of sound and vibration on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.Students will study and explore the vibratory ‘sound bath’ effects on the energy body and chakras using ancient and newly-discovered therapeutic musical instruments.Instruments utilized include Tibetan singing bowls, quartz crystal bowls, Tingshas, the didgeridoo, gongs, and bells.Additionally, the profound healing that occurs with toning and chanting will be explored and deeply experienced.Students will discover their own personal ‘Life Song,’ a unique mantra-like string of vowel sounds that resonates with his or her essence.Musical principles of entrainment, resonance, toning, harmonics, and binaural beats begin to assist us in understanding the restorative healing vibrations and how to apply them to ourselves and/or our healing practices.(4 units)
