Sound Healing & Singing Bowl Therapy Course in Rishikesh
A 3 level certification in Himalayan singing bowl therapy, chakra sound healing and vibrational medicine, taught in the traditional way from Tapovan, the spiritual heart of Rishikesh.
Begin Your Path as a Certified Sound Healer
We are glad you are drawn to the ancestral path of sound. This course carries a healing tradition preserved over many generations, brought to you from the Capital of Yoga.
Across three levels, you will move from playing the singing bowls to understanding their science, then to using vibration, chanting, water and touch therapeutically, so you can practice confidently as a sound healer or therapist.
Training includes Chakra Therapy, cleansing and balancing sessions, sound massage, bowl healing approaches for specific ailments, water therapy, chanting meditation, shamanic and ancestral methods, and guided mental peace concerts, taught by instructors trained in the traditional Himalayan and Tibetan lineage.
