What is Bowen Technique or Bowen Therapy? 

The Bowen technique was developed from the amazing work of the late Mr Tom Bowen of Geelong, Victoria. Taught and practiced all over the world since the 1980's, Bowen Therapy is now one of the fastest growing natural therapies of current times. The Bowen technique is a holistic approach to pain relief and healing that is based on the recognition that the underlying cause or source of many musculoskeletal, neurological, neuromuscular and other health or pain problems can be found in the form of an imbalance of the energetic and facial systems of the body.

 Fascia is a specific type of connective tissue that forms a three dimensional web surrounding every tissue in the body. Considered the body's connecting web, Fascia embraces all nerves, bones, arteries, veins and muscles. Fascial dysfunction can affect every structure, muscle, nerve and organ in the body and has therefore become the subject of increasing research and recent studies, showing it to be the largest sensory organ in the body. 

The Bowen Therapy technique is a very gentle and non-invasive, but extremely powerful, soft connective tissue hands-on therapy that addresses whatever is out of balance within the body. It works so well and quickly because it works on stimulating the flow of water throughout the body - water which carries energy around the body through the soft connective tissue (Fascia). 

This energy has been referred to by many names from many cultures for thousands of years; Chi, Life Force, and Prana to name a few. It is not important to label it, but simply to understand that without a free uninterrupted balanced flow of this energy, and water, throughout your body, you will have health challenges of varying kinds and severity. The Bowen technique addresses pain and restriction anywhere in the body. 

Some of the most common ailments helped are: So what conditions may Bowen help with? ● Allergies ● Arthritis ● Asthma and other respiratory problems ● Babies – baby colic, unsettled baby, restlessness, sleep issues ● Back and neck problems ● Bell’s palsy ● Constipation and diarrhea ● Digestive upsets IBS, Crohn’s, acid reflux, indigestion ● Children – growing pains , ADHD, bedwetting, sleep issues, anger ● Dizziness ● Ear Problems ● Fluid retention ● Foot problems (such as plantar fasciitis and bunions) ● Frozen shoulder ● Headaches (migraine, sinus) ● Improving – posture, flexibility, energy levels, sleep, stress/anxiety ● Bedwetting, incontinence ● Jaw problems (grinding of teeth, misalignment etc) ● Knee and hip restrictions ● Menstrual and other female problems ● Pelvic tilt, leg length, hip imbalance ● Repetitive Strain Injury ● Sciatica ● Skeletal and muscular problems from lumbar to neck ● Sports injuries ● Tennis/golfer’s elbow ...To name but a few.

Spiritual Kinesiology is a holistic approach to health and well-being that combines kinesiology techniques with spiritual principles to address imbalances in the body, mind, and spirit. It focuses on identifying and clearing emotional and energetic blockages that may be contributing to physical, mental, or emotional issues. By accessing the body's innate wisdom through muscle testing, it aims to restore balance and harmony, promoting overall health and vitality.  It works to restore balance and promote healing by accessing the body's innate wisdom and facilitating the release of stress and blockages.

Energy Systems:

Chakra Balancing is a form of energy healing that focuses on channeling energy into the nine main chakras. When we talk about treating chakras we are referring to treating your energetic body. The body is not only made up of the physical body, we have an energy that extends beyond our physical well-being. 

HOW CAN CHAKRA BALANCING SUPPORT YOU?

You may have already noticed the relationship between stress and your physical body. Perhaps nervousness leads to a sensitive stomach, or anger causes tightness in your chest. You may also notice the stress that results from symptoms, and health conditions. Balancing the chakra system can heal the underlying thoughts and emotions that physically manifest as disease. However, it’s benefits are not limited to the physical body.

Chakra balancing is a process of clearing blockages and bringing the chakras to flow at a healthy rate. The health of your chakras and energy field determine how you feel and experience your life’s situations. This work allows us to tend to our consciousness and learn the lessons that we are here to learn before they manifest in the form of illness or loss.

Balanced chakras allow for physical and emotional well-being.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" or distantly and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stressed, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

Reiki treats the whole animal including body, emotions, mind, and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and well-being. Reiki is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.

Animal Ionic Paw/Foot Detox

The ionic foot bath is based on bioenergetics technology that creates an energy field similar to the animal's body’s. The principle is similar to how a magnet works, except in this case the magnetic force functions to help cancel out and eliminate harmful free radicals and other toxins from the body. 

Ionic Foot bath is a foot soak that uses water charged with positive and negative ions – electrolytes – which helps draw toxins from your body out through your feet through a process of exchange between the positive and negative ions in your body, and their opposite numbers in the water. 

The many benefits of an ionic foot detox:

Lower stress levels.

Improved mood.

More balanced pH levels.

Reduced inflammation.

Boosted immune system.

Improved heart health.

Assist with weight loss

Increase energy levels

Relieves muscles and joint pain and swelling

History of Crystal singing bowls

Crystal singing bowls are an ancient tool for meditation, relaxation, and healing. The striking tone of the bowl is shown to vibrate at a frequency that can help release stress and tension from your body.

Tibetan singing bowls are also often used as musical instruments. They produce a clear, resonant tone when rubbed with a wooden or fabric covered striker. This sound can be used to create music or as a meditation aid.

Singing bowls have been around for at least 3 thousand years, dating back to ancient China and Tibet. They were originally made from metals like brass, bronze, and iron. Today singing bowls are also made out of quartz crystal. Crystal singing bowls are easy to work with and they’re able to create more  specific notes while playing them! 

The name “singing bowls” comes from the vibrations and notes they produce when struck or sung. It sounds like a bell or a gong, the instruments are often used alongside chanting or meditation practices. You will also often find them in Sound Bath’s or Sound Healing Sessions.

Nowadays, many people use crystal singing bowls by themselves for meditation, deep relaxation or prayer and spiritual awakening by striking or singing them with a striker to create a calming sound or music. People also use them as part of their daily routine to help clear their minds and focus on what’s important to them at any given moment – whether it be during meditation time or just before bedtime! People recovering from trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD and drug and alcohol addiction use them for relaxation and self soothing. 

Sound therapy and guided meditations often make use of singing bowls. Bowls of varying sizes are placed around the room, around your body, or on your body. You can use them by yourself or with the help of a meditation or healing practitioner.

In addition to relaxation, people say singing bowl sound therapy can help:

• lessen chronic pain

• improve sleep

• reduce anger

• improve blood pressure

• improve respiratory rate

• reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression

• improve symptoms of some neurological disorders such as fibromyalgia and Parkinson’s disease

What is sound therapy?

Singing bowl therapy falls under the umbrella of sound therapy. Sound therapy incorporates singing, chanting, and instrumental music. It is ancient practice that has become a popular complementary treatment for many physiological and mental health conditions.

UCLA, which offers a music therapy treatment program, cites research showing that sound therapy can help improve both physiological symptoms and mental health.

Research at McGill University has explored the neurochemistry of music. The researchers noted that sound therapy is an ancient art that has migrated in the past several decades into clinical settings. Clinicians use it for

• pain management

• relaxation

• psychotherapy

• personal growth

You’ll then surrender to the vibrations of the crystal bowls, allowing them to penetrate your being.

Expect to close your eyes, breathe, listen, and drop into a deeply relaxing state of mind and being.

What’s a crystal sound bath good for?

Let’s take a look at a few ways a crystal sound bath is good for our bodies, minds, and spirits:

Stress Less

Stress is impacting every person on the planet. We’re all connected, and we’re all affected by the way our lifestyle has changed in the throes of modernity. We work too much, we move from point A to point B too fast, and we watch television programming that tells us we need to be more, have more—more, more, more.

However, when immersed in the healing sounds of a crystal sound bath, we realize we don’t need to have or be anything more than what we already are and have.

We get to completely immerse ourselves in the sound vibrations. Everything in the world vibrates, including our bodies. The frequencies and vibrations of the crystal sound baths can help promote relaxation by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system in our body.

Mindfulness Practice

Sometimes you need a bit of support when learning how to be more mindful. A crystal sound bath can help with this.

Mindfulness is a practice in which we use all of our senses to bring us out of our heads, and into the present moment, but, this isn’t easy for all of us. We may need to practice doing this within the supportive realms of a healing classroom, and/or with an experience that has the power to bring us into the present moment. This is what crystal sound healing does.

After time, say several sessions, your body, mind, and spirit will naturally know what to do. That said, if you really want to dedicate yourself to living mindfully, but need a little support in the beginning stages, you might want to consider investing in a handful of crystal sound healing sessions with a qualified practitioner.

Better Sleep

Do you have trouble sleeping at night? Maybe you’re going through a phase in which deep sleep eludes you. Perhaps you’ve tried everything from melatonin to warm baths with relaxing essential oils only to find you wake up in the middle of the night unable to get back to sleep, which makes you more stressed than you already are.

It’s a vicious cycle, which is why you need something that’s really going to seep into your bones—a practice that does more than just soothe you in the moment you’re doing it. You want something with positive benefits that will seep into the cells of your being, so that when it’s time to hit the hay, your body’s primed for rest. This is what a crystal sound bath can do for you.

Musical Soul Medicine

The musical medicine you’ll receive will be like nothing you’ve ever experienced, and you may find yourself coming back for more. Crystal sound healing is ideal for those of you looking for an alternative to yoga nidra or just want to add something new to your yoga life.

Be open to the experience, and enjoy the new sense of calm and clarity you’ll receive. A crystal sound bath is a treat for all your senses, and most importantly, your soul.

Incredibly efficient to cleanse yourself from negative energies. This instrument can help you feel more connected to people, animals, and nature around you. It can help you to restore your sense of well-being and security. You will feel the pleasure of living in harmony with the energies surrounding you.

What does the research say?

A 2020 research review of four studies showed that singing bowl therapy resulted in improved mental and emotional health. These improvements echoed the findings of an earlier 2016 observational study. Some of these improvements include:

• anxiety

• depression

• fatigue

• tension

• anger

• confusion

• vigor

The study also reported improvements in physical health, including:

• blood pressure

• heart rate

• respiratory rate

• peripheral capillary oxygen saturation

A 2019 study found that Himalayan singing bowls can help induce a deep state of relaxation in a short period of time, often under 20 minutes. This level of relaxation was greater in both depth and consistency than relaxation from just lying down in silence.

A pilot study in Italy showed that Tibetan singing bowls helped relieve distress and increase a sense of well-being in people with metastatic cancer. They also helped decrease anxiety, involuntary mental activity, and stress. The researchers called for larger studies to confirm results.

A 2022 study in Germany found that singing bowl massage led to a decrease of overall EEG power, or certain brain signals, which might help create a sense of well-being. These researchers also called for larger studies to confirm results.

Are there any potential precautions to using singing bowls?

Makers and practitioners of singing bowls sometimes issue precautions. Some common warnings, like these from Shanti Bowl, include:

• Beginners: Start out with slow 5-minute sessions until you see how the singing bowls affect you.

• Epilepsy: Singing bowls may trigger seizures. People with epilepsy should generally avoid singing bowls.

• Metal implants: Avoid singing bowls if you have metal devices in your body, such as a pacemaker, coronary shunt, artificial heart valves, or metal pins or staples. The vibration of the singing bowl sound could possibly move the metal inside you, causing injury or malfunction of the device.

• Bodily conditions: Avoid placing singing bowls directly on or near tumors, implants, screws, or artificial joints.

• Mental health: Singing bowls often elicit deep memories, emotion, and thoughts. If you are diagnosed with a mental disorder like PTSD, anxiety, or depression, be sure to work with your doctor or therapist to make sure you can manage the thoughts and feelings that might arise.

• Skin conditions: If you have an inflammatory skin condition like psoriasis, eczema, or hives, practitioners recommend not placing bowls on your body since they could aggravate the skin condition.

• Pregnancy: In general, avoid singing bowls during pregnancy. If your doctor approves, you might try short sessions, but make sure the bowls are away from your belly and back.

• Children: Be careful to monitor your child’s use of a singing bowl. Use incorrectly, it can damage hearing.

• Surgery. After surgery, wait to place singing bowls on your body until sutures are removed and your skin is fully healed.
