This article seeks to offersome background on the Himalayan (often referred to as Tibetan) bowls and theirrole in the healing process for cancer patients. “If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touchesevery part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard notonly through our ears but through every cell in our bodies.  One reason sound heals on a physicallevel is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional andspiritual planes. Sound can redress imbalances on every level of physiologicfunctioning and can play a positive role in the treatment of virtually anymedical disorder.”  Dr. Mitchell Gaynor, director of Medical Oncology and IntegrativeMedicine at the Cornell Cancer Prevention Center in NY “In the words of the great Tibetanmaster/Bodhisattva Gwalwa Karmapa, the Singing Bowls of Tibet emit the ‘Soundof the Void’, the sound of the universe manifesting. They are a symbol of the'unknowable' and as an alloy, date back to the Buddha, Shakyamni (560-480B.C.). Their origins and detailed histories are shrouded in the distant pastand are surely a gift from the shamanistic 'Bon' religion which precedesBuddhism in Tibet by centuries. For centuries they have been utilized forhealing and consciousness transformation.”  Richard Rudis, Sound Pioneer and owner of SacredSound Workshops Present day healersare now discovering the science behind this powerful ancient modality. Modernmedicine can now measure and thus confirm the practice of sound as a means to heal.Consequently, it is rapidly gaining recognition internationally as an integralpart of the healing process for many conditions. It has been effective inrelieving pain and in the treatment of stress related afflictions such aschronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, insomnia, pain and depression. Mainstream medical teaching facilities like Duke University and theUniversity of North Carolina have added programs that link body/mind and spiritto the treatment of cancer. Cancer Prevention Centers are utilizing sound as avital part of the healing process for patients with astounding results. Dr.Mitchell Gaynor has been using sound, including Tibetan Bowls, Crystal bowlsand Chanting in work with cancer patients for many years. The medical directorof the Deepak Chopra center in California, Dr. David Simon found that the soundfrom Tibetan bowls as well as chanting are chemically metabolized into‘endogenous opiates’, that act on the body as internal painkillers and healingagents. All matter isenergy vibrating at different rates thus by altering the rate of vibration thestructure of matter can be changed. The Himalayan/ Tibetan bowls vibrate at what ishistorically/traditionally recognized as the frequency of perfection, otherwiseknown as the Sanskrit mantra ‘AUM’. The healing processthey evoke is initiated by entraining our brainwaves to create sympatheticresonance with the perfect vibration of ‘AUM’. Another way of expressingthis concept is to acknowledge that the fundamental status of the universe is astate of absolute harmony. Because we are a part of the natural universe ournatural state is also one of harmony. Disconnection from our core essence through stress, distraction, illnessand the challenges of daily life creates dis-ease: spiritual, physical andmental. The sound created from properly played Himalayan bowls gently nudges ourconsciousness back to our natural state of blissful tranquility and health.                                                                                     Let us, for a moment look at the difference between healing and curing:Curing is an end product or finite result.  Webster’s Dictionary defines it as “the complete biological resolution of a diseased state” or “theelimination of disease, distress, evil”.         Healing on the otherhand is a process therefore infinitein nature. Some definitions include: “the making or becoming whole, the mendingof a breach”, “to free from grief, troubles, evil”, “restoring tohealth or soundness”;andmy personal favorite by Jeanne Acheerberg, “an intuitive perception of the universe and allits inhabitants as being of one fabric.”  Healing is a movement from disharmony toharmony, from duality to non-duality or Divine Awareness; a process where weare released from an ego centered finite perspective of ourselves in the worldand move into our essence where our vibratory energy is connected with theuniverse.  It is a regenerativeprocess married to a spiritual awakening that can have profound healing consequenceson illness, disease and all aspects of our lives. As we awaken, our perspective shifts; asour perspective shifts, our vibration shifts; as our vibration shifts, ourcellular make up shifts. These changes can not occur as separate entities. Eachchange affects the whole of who we are and extends infinitely. It is possiblethat healing can lead to being cured. However, simply beingcured on a physical level, without sufficient healing of core issues will oftenresult in the manifestation of illness again.  Avital step in the healing process is that of establishing resonance with thecondition in question. Most people resist their condition. You cannot releasethat which you do not own.  Soundis a vehicle that helps us get to healing. But how?  We now know that differentsound pulses stimulate different brainwave centers. We also know that we cancreate brainwave entrainment through a process of sympathetic resonance andthat we normally ‘entrain’ or fall into vibrational step with the strongestvibrations in our immediate environment. Further, nerve bundles in our spine transmit vibrational sensory data tobrain stem and limbic system (our emotional processing center). When placed on the body the sound vibrations are transmitted directly into ourblood, organs, tissues and cellular memory, transmitted via the water thatcompose each system. The Bowls are part of a trinity of Tibetanspiritual sound objects used for healing; the Singing Bowls, the Ganta and theTingsha’s. The Bowls emit a quieting, centering energy; the Ganta (bell) amotivating and unifying influence; and the Tingsha’s  stimulate energy fields. The ancient bowls actually comefrom various Himalayan regions including Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan and are madefrom a consecrated seven metal alloy. Prayers and mantras were chanted intothem during their creation embedding sacred energy. The harmonic overtonesin these instruments entrain our energetic system to resonate with them intheir perfection. In the universe dissonant chords tend toward becoming harmonic.It is the nature of energy to harmonize. Hence, under the influence of the AUMresonance a transformation of dissonant chords (dis-ease) towards harmonyoccurs. The harmonic resonance of the Bowls literally pulls us back into a moreuniversal energetic flow.  Theyeffectively transmit their soothing and peaceful vibrations through our waterbody affecting our entire nervous and immune system. The vibrational signatureof the Himalayan Bowls initializes our parasympathetic nervous system naturallysupporting the increase of disease fighting immune cells while reducing thestress response and also creating cardio respiratory synchrony (thesynchronized flow of our brain, respiratory and heart rate waves). Our capacityto heal from illness is predicated on our body’s ability to achievecardio-respiratory synchrony. This concordance is exactly what is achieved byinteracting with the Bowls. When they are placed directly on the body, as in aprivate session, then the healing potential is greatly increased..  Added to the process described above is our individual attitudes, beliefsand behaviors. Each will either engage, thereby enhancing, or sabotage thehealing potential. Positive thinking can strengthen your immunesystem and change your life. The combination of the Himalayan instrument’s sound,properly used, with positive visualization and affirmations can greatlystrengthen the healing experience. Thus, sound is atype of energy medicine that creates the sacred space in which people can healfrom stress disorders, pain, depression, uncontrolled emotional extremes andmore.  It also creates the perfectstate for deep meditation, creative thinking and intuitive understanding. Many report ‘out of body’ experiences, a deepsense of tranquility, grounded-ness, sound sleep, lower blood pressure and feelthe effects of the treatment for extended periods of time. Sessions alsoprovide relief from pain and stress-related conditions. You may be wondering how this relates to thehealing process of Cancer patients?A 2005 study by the National Instituteof Health shows 80 % of breast cancer patients use some alternative type oftreatment.  Love is the Path Back to Self:  Every illness is an opportunity to seebeyond the uncomfortable physical realities and find a way to adopt a new andlarger perspective about one self. It is an imposed 'time out” in which we mayfind great depth and value. It is certainly a journey that can teach us how to loveourselves unconditionally with honor, respect and high regard.  Of course the harsh physical realities ofcancer can also make it difficult to navigate the spiritual aspects of the roadback to health. Effective sound and energy medicine can address themulti-faceted aspects of cancer and other life threatening conditions. The after effects frequently associated with chemotherapyand other medications can often result in emotional toxins, fatigue, anxiety,poor sleep patterns, nausea, profuse sweating, pain, inflamatio0n and anoverall deterioration of the quality of life.  Bowl therapy aids in re-establishing the proper energy flowthroughout the system especially in concert with proper nutrition, communitysupport and other forms of self-care.  Other sound energy vehicles are used to release stress and encouragethe flow of nourishing energy back into the body. Examples of such tools:Stone crystals, with their piezoelectriceffect, can be used to help repair and restore health.  Special quartz crystals are used to complimentthe Bowl’s vibrational patterns to clear and revitalize the auric field. Thisin turn re-establishes a sense of grounding and connection with one’s center thatmay have diminished during invasive treatments. The ‘Ganta’ and ‘Dorje’  are used to gently redirect energy andto encourage balance while a precision tuned Gong can be used to dynamicallymove energy throughout the body’s system’s in a more vigorous manner.  Singing Bowls are in a variety ofconfigurations to surround the affected area producing gentle sound vibrations tosoothe, reduce pressure and realign the energetic system creating a ‘harmonicattunement’.  Stress during every stage of cancer can causeanxiety, fear and depression.  Itis natural for  anxiety to buildaround decisions concerning what treatment to pursue, treatment effects duringand after each procedure and of course the lingering fear that the cancer willreturn. Such anxieties may cause the patient to feel unable to cope with lifeand feelings of hopelessness can set in.   To help restore a sense of hope and to inspirethe client to reestablish their personal power, the proficient sound therapistoften combines cognitive work to address the habitual belief systems that don’tsupport healing with the cellular work of energy balancing and alignment. Balancingof inherent masculine and feminine energies in a client is a vital step in thehealing process. It is common to find that some cancer patients conduct theirlives as perpetual givers or accommodators. Often their sense of self worth isenhanced or established from giving (even when the giving to others is from asense of obligation). The flow of energy in one direction (out) can cause aweak immune system making people vulnerable to disease. The use of Ganta/Dorjesused in combination with guided imagery can balance the flow of giving andreceiving energy.  Cancer can beseen as the effect of  trappedessence spiritual energy that has been suppressed (normally during childhood).Cancer is the essence/spirit fighting to emerge. The illness creates a context fora person to go into ‘receive’ mode; but to heal they need to understand it isto receive their own power back  Sound tools are instruments of compassionbecause they gently nudge the listener into a memory of wholeness and wellness. Their gentle, soothing and intimateeffect encourages the clients’ ability to journey through illness more as awitness than as a victim of it thereby enhancing their overall quality of life.Since every client has their own pace for healing, a seasoned practitioner willhonor that pace while holding the image of wholeness for the client to see. Inthis manner the client can awaken to the healer within themselves. The soundenergy practitioner is a conduit and a guide in the healing process, butultimately the real healers are the clients themselves as they begin to recognizetheir perfection. It takes restraint and patience on the part of thepractitioner to honor the clients pace, especially if the physical condition isworsening. Every moment is an opportunity to awaken.
