The upheavals with which our life is rich today require the right response. The most ancient mechanism — when faced with the danger of mobilizing, shrinking and running — works exactly half in modern life. We are shrinking and… we are not running anywhere. How to get rid of clamps? One of the effective means is meditation and relaxation.
Ancient people were well aware of the power of the impact of sounds on the human body. According to biblical legend, the trumpets of Jericho were able to drive the inhabitants of the city crazy in a few minutes, and its impregnable walls fell. The ancient Greeks were afraid to hear the voluptuous singing of the sirens, which threw the ships on the reefs. From time immemorial, bells have been used in Russia for healing. In the semi-mythical Lemuria — a hypothetical civilization that died as a result of natural disasters even before Atlantis — they played on special crystalline bowls that brought the ancestors of people into a calm state and awakened their creativity. The singers of Lemuria conveyed divine information to people with their songs, communicated directly with the gods and spoke not with words, but with special sounds.
Today, sessions with singing crystal bowls are held at the Creation Center. The performer Galina Shestakovskaya uses their sound to address people with what they get — and each time it turns out different, but always real, whole and self-sufficient*. “In our center there is no concept of “visitor”. We are not divided into creators and clients — we are co-creators, we have a center of co-creation, co-creation. Music is only a part of the work, an unfinished work that is born in everyone who comes to us. We ourselves create what we can from sound, vibration, wave. As a result of listening to the game on crystal bowls, immersion in sound, in oneself, in meditation, a person undergoes qualitative changes, mood changes, creative activity increases, fear disappears.

To get scientific confirmation of the positive effect of the sound of the bowls, neuroscientists were invited to the musical session. With the help of a Neuroenergy Cartograph (NEC), a certified device at the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, neurologist Vitaly Fokin studied the reactions of ten volunteers who were asked to listen to ancient music played on crystal bowls**. It turned out that the brain of all the subjects after musical exposure became a reference. The NEC device, which records the intensity of energy exchange between brain cells, showed that this indicator decreased significantly in all volunteers. This indicates a deep relaxation of a person, both at the time of listening and after it. In addition, in most of the subjects, the activity of the right hemisphere was greater. This suggests that the creative component has turned on. In addition, it was concluded that the sound of bowls and singing had a positive relaxing effect. “We conducted this experiment to convey concrete results to those who are interested in our work. This is especially important for me, I want to go further, not to convince, but simply to do my job, including organizing charitable programs, — explains Galina Shestakovskaya. “It is especially interesting to work with children, with whom you can get a quick result.” According to doctors, there are no contraindications not only for healthy people, but also for pregnant and sick people.

Personal experience
Natalia Udonova, 28, journalist
“Meditation often uses sound. It is believed that it has a beneficial effect on the body and soul. I had already heard how metal bowls “sing”, but this time I had to learn something new. We were told that the sound of singing bowls completely relaxes the body, and the brain begins to work in alpha waves, which is typical for a state of deep meditation. They explained to me that there was no need to concentrate and take special postures, just lie down and relax. We were invited to the meditation hall, where there were already large soft poufs on which we could lie down to our full height, which we did. And when we were given pillows and covered with blankets, I was even afraid that I would fall asleep and miss all the most important and interesting things. But at that moment, a performer, musician Galina Shestakovskaya appeared in the hall with bowls in her hands. She sat down on the floor and arranged them neatly around her, six bowls of different colors, heights and shapes. They seemed to be made of frosted glass. Galina explained that they are made of quartz with an admixture of precious and semi-precious metals. Special craftsmen made them by hand using ancient technology in Hawaii, where, according to legend, Lemuria sank.
And then the music played. Strange sounds and unusual vibrations penetrated the body and filled the space around. And when I was already immersed in meditation, Galina’s voice sounded. These were deep and unusual sounds. It seemed to me that I was flying, around infinity, freedom … How long the process lasted, I don’t know, it’s just that at some point everything calmed down. I opened my eyes. Galina sat silently surrounded by bowls. I slowly returned to reality and felt myself «here and now» — and realized that I had not been sleeping all this time, but really was immersed in meditation. For a while, I replayed in my memory the pictures I saw during the process. Then I turned to the body: clarity reigned in my head, I felt lightness and energy. I shared my impressions with Galina and asked how other people react to her music and voice. “Feelings are different: an influx of energy, a feeling of release and even tears — like cleansing from energy blocks.” I left the Wave Art Center with a good mood, a desire to create and create. I took a couple of disks with Galina’s music and singing as a keepsake. They were recommended to listen to them only at home, not in the car and not in the player, preferably on good equipment in order to be able to fully immerse themselves in the process. Which is what I’m doing now.»
