Tibetan singing bowl

Many of you may look at this and wonder what it is. That's OK. Its a little hidden gem that isn't widely used enough by the modern population. This Tibetan singing bowl can help in many ways, and ways that you may not have even thought about. These have been used for centuries as part of healing and meditations and they can create a range of sounds; which helps to restore the normal vibrational frequencies of sick, diseased and unbalanced parts of the body and mind. The idea is to stroke the wooden striker around the rim of the bowl until in hums/sings. The vibration that this creates can clear a room of stagnant and negative energy, and I use these sometimes at the beginning and end of treatments.
The wooden striker can also be tapped gently against the side to create a bell type sound. I usually walk the length of the client tapping gently at each chakra, and noticing any differences there may be in the sound/vibration. This way, before I even begin Reiki I will have an idea of which chakras may be unbalanced.
The Tibetan Singing Bowl is used as a form of energy medicine, closely connected to that of Reiki. However the sound waves produced entrain the brain waves to synchronise with the sounds, and the vibrations allow the body to feel rather than just hear. It deeply touches and transforms cells on a physical, spiritual and emotional level.
All matter is vibrating energy. The structure of a material (wood, water, human beings) all depends on how fast the vibrations are moving. Altering the state of vibration, alters the state of the matter. This is the same principle as working with Reiki, all energy is vibrational, and that energy that is being sourced and given to a client (or yourself) is lifting the energies and vibrations of your physical body; therefore increasing the resonance of it being similar (energy wise) to your soul/energy self. The Tibetan Singing Bowl is a fabulous tool to use in treatments as it gives the clients something to focus on at the beginning and end of a session, and the difference in sound can be incredible, so the clients leave knowing there has been some change. It is a great precursor to sleep too- I have found it useful during bouts of sleeplessness to help me drift off and also improve the quality of the sleep. The brain moves to Theta waves when it is hearing the sound made, and these are what the brain prodcues when they are in deep meditative and peaceful states. This in turn impacts the nervous system and helps the body to relax. I also have a playlist of Tibetan bowl music on my phone for when it isn't too appropriate to get a bowl out... and that is just as effective. So if you would like to try and use the Singing Bowl sounds to enhance your life, maybe try some music first. But I love how pretty mine is, and its invaluable during treatments.

Apple 'Cider' Vinegar is my only booze

This is one of my go to products for everything, a little bit like Coconut Oil. I use a dash of ACV in rose water as a toner for my face and also as a hair rinse after shampooing.. the shine it gives is amazing !
The dog has also been rinsed this way to improve her coat and act as flea repellent...
I use it mixed with water as a degreaser in the kitchen.. and it helps to remove the burnt on stains left on cooking pots.
I gargle with it if I have a sore throat and soaking in a bath is a great cleanser after a long day !
ACV is relatively cheap and can be used in so many ways... and is a lot healthier and gentle than the harsh, abrasive cleaners and products out there !
