UC Berkeley PATH to Care Center Sessions

Using guided breathwork along with the sounds of the singing bowls, this is a practice of deep relaxation. 

I encourage you to find a comfortable posture (sitting or lying down) being mindful to support your neck & lower back.  

Dress comfortably & use layers to stay warm. Appropriate for all abilities

The sounds from alchemy quartz crystal singing bowls can be impactful on the body and mind including:

• helping the mind to settle and the brain to enter a peaceful theta (or pre-sleep) state, 
• the parasympathetic nervous system to relax/taking a break from being in a constant state of fight-flight-freeze, 
• and the body to access the benefits of deep rest. 

Learn more about the benefits of crystal singing bowls from Psychology Today, The Healing Power of Sound as Meditation.

Due to meeting remotely, please RSVP to complete a registration and liability form.
