1d • Crystal Bowl Mastery
Week 3
Wow, another great class full of info I was needing.
Takeaways:
- During the opening meditation (which I love) I had a new focused sound journey session come to mind to offer to my networking group. That's happening next week.
- I loved the explanation of activated playing vs. passive playing. This is something I'd never heard about but makes so much sense. I'd wondered how to play to heal others and to assist with their addiction to stress like Kalee mentioned. I like the activated playing to help those with depression, including myself. Great info!
- How we need to trust our instinct, which I think is huge and getting inspired by feeling the room and picking up the energy of the group. I've gone into my sessions fully intending on presenting a specific way, then after speaking to everyone, going a completely different direction. I just did it. Intuition at work.
- Being mindful of letting sound fill the space. How the facility can affect the sound, wood, glass, carpet, padding. I hadn't considered how those textures can affect the sound. I thought a big open space was best, but there's more to consider.
- I like knowing that it's OK to let sound drift off and end before striking the next bowl. I guess I'm uncomfortable with silence to a degree. I'm a bit too quick to go on to the next sound, some silence is ok. 😁
- It's OK to heal along with everyone else. I'm healing too, which may explain why I feel so tired afterwards sometimes.
- I love the examples of different types of journeys. Healing, guided meditation, a sound journey. Can you touch on how to start a session that's just sound, no guided meditation, just an explanation of the session at the very beginning? Or maybe we'll discuss that Saturday.
- I didn't realize the effect that the weather can have on the sound of the bowls. We're in a very humid area, that makes me wonder if that's why my root bowl can sound so different from one event to another. Also, how the size of the room can affect the sound, I hadn't considered that either as well as the placement of the bowl compared to placement of the other bowls we use. Very interesting.
- Thank you for mentioning playing clockwise vs counterclockwise. I wondered about that. Sometimes I just change for no reason, I guess intuition comes into play here as well. I like better understanding how the directions can move energy or release it. I'm going to practice that more.
- If anyone gets stuck on coming up with guided meditations, I use my imagination and come up with places/situations I enjoy. I try to write them down and use them in sessions. But another good starting point could be using ChatGPT. Just ask to provide you with a meditation for one of the chakras or a point you want to help others with healing. It will come up with a beautiful meditation you can use or tweak for the situation. Take what it provides and walk it through in your mind to help you 'feel' it. That helps with memorizing and presenting at your events. It helps me a lot.
This was another great info packed class, I loved it!!
