Good Vibrations Sound Bath Meditation with Anthony Profeta, Meditation Teacher

Silence the chaos of the mind with the tranquil sounds of singing bowls, and let the calming frequencies guide you into a state of mental serenity.

A “Sound Bath Meditation” is all about energy, frequency & vibration. It is a very therapeutic form of meditation because you’re literally being “bathed” in sound waves. As these sound waves wash over your body, they can take you into an alpha & theta brainwave state.

Basically, this means that the sound vibrations help to shift your brain into a calmer state and make it easier for you to experience a deeper meditation. This deep meditative state leads to profound relaxation & healing.

Sound meditation is wonderful for all types of meditators but it is especially good for beginners because the tones & frequencies give the mind something to hold onto. And the sounds of the bowls, instruments, etc... helps the mental chatter quiet down quite a bit.

Another thing is, these specific tones are the frequencies at which the bodies 7 Major energy centers (chakras) should be resonating at. And therefore, these vibrations help to bring the energetic body back into alignment and balance.

So, come join us as Anthony Profeta, Meditation Teacher uses the sounds of Himalayan & Crystal Bowls to create an environment which will wash away your stress and fill you
with inner peace and joy!

This experience is sure to leave your body/mind/spirit feeling renewed and rejuvenated. And if you have never experienced a bowl meditation this is sure to be an event you will not want to miss.

Cost: $25 Prepaid / $30 at door
