Tibetan bowls

For a few years, while continuing to compose, mix, and learn – since in the musical field, it’s like in the medical field, you never stop learning, always with your ears open to all new sounds, Patricia has become more interested in the powerful energetic power that music and all sounds in general can have on our physical and mental state. The joy, the well-being that we feel when we attend a music festival or a concert, dancing, singing, take us to a real state of well-being.

Just like the healing power of Tibetan bowls. In fact, each sound emitted by the bowl (or any other musical instrument, as well as your own voice or the sounds emitted by nature) is a wave created by the vibration of matter, and it turns out that Tibetan bowls propagate powerful vibrations, they penetrate and spread quickly throughout the body. The sound and its vibration are transmitted to the entire body up to the skeleton. This vibration care acts on the physical, emotional and mental planes. It stimulates the body and allows the re-harmonization or re-balancing of the chakras. To make a long story short, because there is a lot to say on the subject, Patricia offers you here a special musical journey … combining dynamic music and soft music, dance, meditation, Yoga / Aerial Yoga (yoga in a hammock) To end with a moment of total relaxation under the benevolent sound of Tibetan bowls.
