People who attend a gong session talk about experiencing waves of emotion and awareness of certain parts of the body. “Gong meditation is bathing in total sound. In other words, the sound erases all other sounds around you and you are just in this ocean of rolling waves and layers and layers of tones. And the tones go right through the body. They affect you on a mental level, an emotional level, a spiritual level and they cleanse you as they form a purification, which just washes away any worries or cares, and often obstacles that stand in your way of clarity and creativity.”

Tibetan Singing Bowls have been used in many traditions. Singing bowls are unique because they are multiphonic instruments, producing multiple harmonic overtones at the same time. Certain sounds are used as therapy in many cultures, especially when someone is seen as out of balance or having lost his natural internal rhythm.

Every bowl has been chosen for an exceptional, pleasant and balanced harmonious tone that produces vibrations which touch your mind, body and spirit. Come and meditate to the deeply tranquil soundspace created by 25 bowls as the bowls chant their own version of Om.

Coming in March Kansa Vataki

Kansa Vataki uses a bronze alloy bowl from high quality pure copper and tin from the Ayurvedic tradition.  This combination is said to have a powerful effect on the body’s subtle energies in the same manner healing bracelets made of these three metals.  Like the Tibetan Singing Bowls, Kansa recharges and harmonized the energies of the body.

Some of the benefits of using this technique:

• Revitalizes tired feet, stressed shoulder and aching backs.
• Benefits internal organs similar to reflexology by stimulating major energy and nerve endings in the feet.
• Eases pain, tension and acidity.
• Balances the three doshas – vata, pitta and kapha.
• Balances mind, body and inner most being.

What is reflexology? According to Merriam-Webster it’s a “massage of the hands or feet based on the belief that pressure applied to specific points on these extremities benefits other parts of the body.”

Of course, everyday we see the true benefits in the health and well being of our clients. Reflexology is relaxing, reduces stress and assists the body’s natural healing abilities. Visit the Balance and Harmony services page for more information.

Why should you choose Becky Cobb with Balance and Harmony as your Peoria, Illinois, reflexologist?

Becky has studied under several masters and uses a combination of techniques including traditional Western finger walking, Japanese, Thai Yoga and Ayurveda reflexology. This helps her customize your session and techniques to fit you and your specific needs.

She also incorporates other holistic treatments (at no extra cost!). During your reflexology session you’ll also receive (if needed):

• Reiki from a reiki master
• Young Living Oils applied to the feet
• Tuning fork vibrations using tuning folks which have specific frequencies that correspond to the organs of the body and minerals–the vibration of the tuning forks helps to break up stagnation and toxins in the feet and helps to bring the organs back into balance
• Infrared heat and tubes of amethyst and tourmaline, in the Bio-mat on the massage table, to help detox the body–a chiropractor could use this as stand alone treatment (or bill separately for it)

You can also choose from several specialty forms of reflexology using hot rocks, Thai herbal balls and gemstones. (See pricing.)

Starting in March of 2012 you will also be able to choose Kansa Vataki, a form of Ayurvedic reflexology with a metal bowl and oils.
