Book Description

Santa Ratna Shakya and Shree Krishna Shahi from Nepal are undoubtedly the pioneers in developing the traditional Nepali Singing Bowl sound healing and therapy methods, and popularising it globally. For over 30 years they have travelled around the world giving sound healing sessions, training students, collaborating with alternative therapy professionals, and performing Singing Bowl concerts with special sets of bowls collected from the Newari culture of the Kathmandu valley, rural Nepali villages, and from various trans-Himalayan regions across the south and south-east Asia.The book documents two things - a brief cultural history of the Singing Bowl with reference to the metal casting tradition in Nepal as seen through a native's perspective. Secondly, as the subtitle of the book suggests, it outlines the Basic Level Practical Guide to Singing Bowl Therapy method developed over the past three decades by the Nepali Singing Bowl Sound Therapy masters, Santa Ratna Shakya and Shree Krishna Shahi.
