Mind Sound Resonance Technique (MSRT) is one of the yoga-based relaxation techniques that uses mantra to produce resonance, which is used to induce deep relaxation for mind and body. MSRT can be practiced for improving well-being, concentration, willpower, and relaxation.

Ringing vibrations produced by the instruments are most potent healing tools. The sound and resonance of different instruments combined with meditation, guided imagery, and vocalization create a new synthesis in conjunction with other healing practices. Singing bowls act as a medium in which our inner chaos and conflict can be reconfigured into a harmonious sense of calm centeredness that resonates through every cell of our body and mind.

In the words of Tibetan monk Lama “The Bowl sound is the sound of the Void “. The calming impact of the sound, as it resonates shifts one, from fretfulness and anxiety to tranquillity and acceptance.

The bowls have been made from seven different metals – gold, silver, mercury, iron, tin, and lead. Individually each metal has its own distinctive sound, and in combination with one or more of the other metals, creates harmonics that differ from bowl to bowl, depending on the particular alloy. With practice, one can control the qualities of the sound. We can feel the vibrations resonating throughout the body, and when we stop the sound gradually dies down, resulting in lightness, relief of pressure in the head and body. The sound and vibration offer relief from the distractions and stresses of the outside world. Sound vibration by the bowls can cure various conditions, ranging from emotional distress and imbalance to headaches and sore throats.

The quartz crystal is the strongest power object of all. The crystal emits the vibration and amplifies which extends and amplifies the power of the user’s mind. Like a laser, it radiates energy in a coherent, highly concentrated form, and this energy may be transmitted into objects or people at will.

The sounds permeate our systems, resonating with our essence, so that inner chaos, conflict, and dissonance seem almost immediately transformed into harmony. The shift occurs more rapidly and powerfully when the bowl sounds are combined with unique forms of vocal expression.

The study was conducted to assess the effect of a two-week session of MSRT on psychological functions and cognition in school children. The study results revealed a reduction in anxiety and mind wandering with increased state mindfulness, awareness, attention, and working memory in school children.

Bowl centred meditation can nurture all mind-body issues, and anyone can benefit from the practice and life-affirming effects are immediately apparent. To ‘bath ‘ in the ocean of sound ‘ enables us to alter our moods and emotions, feelings and perceptions positively, by regularly incorporating this practice into our routine.
