Sound Journeys through Gongs & Himalayan Bowls | Workshop
Led by Crown of Eternity
June 19 @ 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Purchase tickets in advance at MergingHearts.org; Space is limited | $30
Vibrate and tune into your inner self-healer, inviting a state of harmony and bliss. Bathe in waves of
sound from multiple gongs, bells, and metal singing bowls. The deep complex harmonics of multiple
gongs quickly silence the mind and entrain the brain into a spontaneous state of deep meditation.
The rhythmic sound oscillations of therapy grade Himalayan bowls placed on or around the body
penetrate into the tissues and are often experienced as a full body sound massage allowing you to
let go of stress, worry, anxiety, doubt, fear and feelings which have a negative effect on our health
and life. We will lie down for extended periods of time. For your comfort, bring a —yoga mat, blanket, and cushion.
Every Sunday morning, 10:30 am – 12 noon

home. Join us at 10:00 am for coffee, bring a breakfast treat to share!

course of his life. Today, Eckhart is a sought-after public speaker who teaches and travels extensively throughout the
world.
