Here’s Crystal Bowls & Piano artist, Ms. Amano immersed in sound checking her own crystal bowl she lugged over from Japan, relative to this particular tone of a bowl found here.<\/em>So happy to get to accompany an artist so PASSIONATE about her craft … wish I could encapsulate that kind of energy she exudes into a little bottle and save it as a little elixir for those days when one feels dull and listless – don’t we all have those moments?\u00a0 How do YOU overcome that kind of a slump?<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the reasons so many people are suffering from stress is not that they are doing stressful things but that they allow so little time for silence.\u00a0<\/em><\/span>

Reading the above, it’s not about setting yourself up in a sound-proofed hideaway\u00a0 – have you really sat still and really listened – there is no such thing as silence – there are sounds, noise all around us – In urban setting the city may never sleep and there may always be that buzz, that drone, that white and all colors of noise … Then, in nature, there are sounds of birds, critters, leaves and trees rustling, winds … Antarctica ?\u00a0 Never been there but have heard that it’s quite noisy with sounds of ice melting … is it a cracking sounds or sinking sounds … I wonder … there’s always sounds of your own breath, sounds of your own heart beating … sounds of your own rivers within that flows and streams of babbling brook water that’s all within our own landscape … there is faint … sounds … everywhere … if you seek silence.\u00a0 \u00a0It’s not that we are looking for the vacuum vortex of nothingness … but a pause … a moment of – respite.\u00a0 If the “silence” is filled with sounds – vibrations – that sound sealed as a mantra is clearing, cleansing, relaxing and … energizing.<\/p>\n

There’s a school founded by late Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama whose study <\/a>of human consciousness, sub-consciousness & super-consciousness inspired certain Californian yogis like Sarah Powers and Paul Grilley, master teachers, to find the practice of Yin yoga.\u00a0 It’s amazing that this school now has a certificate program in sound healing.\u00a0 Here <\/a>if interested.\u00a0 Dr. Motoyama’s books on Chakra theory is mind-opening – there’s that Ahhh-HAHH moment – an epiphany when you read them.\u00a0 We talk about inanimate objects vs live objects … what is the difference?\u00a0 It’s all about … the energy that the image, object … a thing is filled with.\u00a0 If there’s energy rippling throughout you, there’s a spark … expressed through a sparkle in your eyes, crisp fresh voice, face that is animated and expressive … there’s … an aura we each emit expressing our level of energy.\u00a0 And some of us, attuned, may feel that as a “vibe” or “resonance” or just plain … premonitions, intuitions and … feelings.<\/p>\n

The sound of chimes, drums, crystal and Tibetan bowls … beautiful strumming on strings … beautiful voices, chorus …lullaby, simply humming and sweet whispering … all carry that vibrations and echos that calms our nervous system.\u00a0 When you surround yourself with that kind of sounds, then you will finally hear the silence – there’s that intermittent silence, there’s that pause between the sounds that is quiet and eternal … that silence …we can tune into when we are patient with ourselves.<\/p>\n

I am aware of some people who have issues with hearing from too much noise – if fact,<\/p>\n
