Sound Healing with Tibetan Singing Bowls...

Struggling with the chaos of the world? Sound therapist and Reiki master Kelly Sullivan shares the power of Tibetan singing bowls to combat stress, promote relaxation, and support better physical and emotional health.  

Kelly’s journey as a wellness practitioner began not out of clarity, but in anxiety. Studying graphic design, she felt unfulfilled and burnt out, craving a deeper connection and purpose.  

Escaping the uncertainty, she spent a summer volunteering in Nepal, fell in love with the culture, and brought home a Tibetan bowl. The souvenir collected dust on her shelf. Then a Reiki practitioner introduced her to traditions of ancient sound healing. The ornamental became instrumental, and Kelly was hooked. She returned to Nepal to study, and became a Tibetan singing bowl therapist.  

Kelly explains how Tibetan bowls differ from crystal bowls, and how she uses the bowls as diagnostic tools to determine which chakras in the body need to be aligned and balanced. She walks us through how listening to the bowls’ sounds and vibrations trains our brain waves to slow down. This gentle meditation opens creativity and intuition.  

We discuss the differences between sound and music, and how our unique relationships with the bowls help us find our individual flow and tap into the rhythm of relaxation.  

Slow down, Kelly says, create your own stillness, and listen. Allow sound to lead, so your energy can speak.  

TESS’S TAKEAWAYS: 

• Sound therapy with Tibetan bowls can restore energy balance.  
• The Tibetan bowls work with seven notes that correspond to the seven chakras.   
• Each singing bowl makes a unique sound, resonating differently with each person.   
• The bowls’ harmonies promote relaxation and rejuvenation.
