Tibetan Singing Bowl Massage

The Singing Bowl is an ancient technique that utilizes a range of metal bowls to aid in healing. When set in use, they provide a very mild and swollen vibration that sinks deep into physical, mental, and psychological being. These vibrations cause a tremendous amount of relaxation and a feeling of peace. Singing bowl massage helps revitalize the body by returning it to its natural frequencies and restoring a healthy state of being.
