Singing Bowl Meditation Hour

Monday, January 20, 2020
7:00 PM  - 8:00 PM
Merrymeeting Hall

Come for an hour of relaxation. Please bring a yoga mat or cushion to
sit or lie down on. The floor in Merrymeeting Hall is a little hard. I have some extra pillows, blocks, and blankets, but I definitely encourage bringing a pillow or cushion on top of the yoga mat. You may also want a sweater or blanket to make sure you stay nice and warm.Using sound for relaxation and healing is an old practice in many
cultures. In some Himalayan cultures, bowls made of a mixture of
metals are made to be as resonant as bells. These singing bowls are
either rubbed or lightly struck to create vibrations; the sounds they
produce encourage the brain to produce the same kind of brainwaves as
during meditation or deep relaxation.

I will generally begin by focusing on some calming breaths, and then
you are invited to give your brain a break and relax while the sounds
of the bowls wash over you.
