• autism therapy in children, as a communication enhancing and drawing attention to the outside world method (sometimes taking the form of playing the singing bowls together);
• workshops for healthy children – as a form of play to stimulate creativity and imagination, boost concentration span, calm down and relax, enhance sensitivity to sound;

The sounds produced by singing bowls trigger emotional experiences, strengthen the body, stimulate problem-solving skills, have a positive impact on healthy cells and eliminate pathological ones, particularly as the frequency of sound gets gradually higher. Singing bowls are used for non-verbal communication in patients suffering from disabilities or serious medical conditions and injuries, such as strokes. Our systems instinctively choose stimulating components from the complex sounds generated by the singing bowls, making the therapy non-intrusive, natural and lacking in side-effects. Sound healing has also other advantages and often eliminates ailments the patients were previously unaware of.
