Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Journey with Vibrational Alchemist, David Holtzner
Movement is Life. Or more to the point, vibration is life. Everything in the universe is vibrating. Every atom, molecule, particle, and every cell in our body, has its own vibration.
Thus inducing a vibration in a person’s body is a way of changing that person’s own vibrations. So as we move and dance and listen to music, we are impacting on our vibration.
Sound Healing is another way, of achieving the same.
Submerse yourself in a sacred space filled with the harmonic waves of sound from over 30 Tibetan Singing Bowls, Gongs and other instruments.
David weaves together an enchanting soundscape, co-creating a unique and transformative journey, that will leave you deeply relaxed and harmonised.
For over 10 years, David's own journey has been blessed and infused with the love and knowledge entrained with the power of healing vibrations.
He practices Sound Healing, Hawaiian Healing and Hawaiian Lomi Lomi Massage, all of which are concerned with moving energy, raising your vibration, and the vibration of all that is around you.
