A good friend of mine found a video called “Bowls for Elephants” and shared it with me a few days ago. It touched my heart so deeply I felt you would love to see how powerful sound healing can be with these magnificent animals.
The video, Bowls for Elephants, is about the Patara Elephant Farm in Thailand. This farm specializes in rescuing domestic elephants from difficult circumstances and bringing them to health.
Many of these elephants have been mistreated, traumatized and deeply stressed.
In this film they are documenting the response of several of their most stressed elephants to the sound of singing Tibetan and Crystal bowls.
How incredible to watch one nervous and frightened elephant physically relax and bond with the player of the bowls.
And all of this happened in only a couple of minutes! Wow!
What I also find so fascinating is that the response of the elephant is the same response I see in humans who experience the sound of the singing Tibetan and Crystal bowls.
What does this look like?
- Tight muscles relax.
- Breathing slows down.
- The mind quiets.
- Circulation improves.
- Hormones are released that triggers the body’s natural healing response.
- The body instinctively returns to its healthy natural patterns.
- Symptoms of stress dissolve.
- We create deeper bonds with others.
- We feel more connected with the natural world.
I could go on and on with this list.
Singing Tibetan bowls have been around for thousands of years. There is good reason for this.
A carved singing crystal bowl has been found in Egypt dating back to 1700 BCE. The ancient Egyptians used sound as one of their main healing modalities.
This is not new.
Throughout our history on this planet, our ancestors (all over the planet) KNEW that the human body is a resonator for sound. It responds to certain sounds with a natural healing response, bringing the body, mind, emotions and spirit back into harmony.
I encourage you to search out a bowl or other sound healing tool. Hold it in your hand and make a sound with it.
MOST IMPORTANTLY – FEEL the vibrations of this sound travel through your body.
For travel through your body it does. ALL sound travels through your body.
The right sound feels EXQUISITE traveling through your body. And creates a natural healing response.
