sound massage



gong




sound bowls
Friday, 28th June, from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. :
 

Introduction to the sound massage
with Christine Radünzel

The world is sound - Harmony through sound

Sound concert - Sound massage - Listening - Feeling - Resonating

During this seminar, Christine Radünzel will present the numerous fields of application of sound bowls and gongs. And other full-sounding instruments such as the sound cradle, the shruti box, the tambura, the bullroarer … and intuitive singing will bring an intense experience of resonance.

The sound massage method was developed by Peter Hess. It is a transmission of the sound bowls' vibrations to the human body; the harmonization and a deep relaxation allow the limbering-up of tensed muscles and of energy blocks.

The sound massage is based upon an ancient knowledge on the effects of sounds, and about 5000 years ago, this knowledge was already used in the Indian art of healing.
