Winnie Rode: Singing Bowl and Sound Treatments
The Healing Power of Music
Balm to the Soul and Mind
According to the Big Bang theory, the origin of life is sound and light. Beneath the surface, every one of us is composed of frequencies and vibrations, and when we lose connection with the harmonies that keep us healthy, we go in search of therapy - music therapy!
Winnie Rode is a German artist, soundtherapist, teacher in Buddhist Philosophy and Meditation, author of two books on Tibet and Bhutan. He has even served as the Dalai Lama’s personal bodyguard and security chief in Germany. Now based in Koh Samui, he will offer a unique form of healing with Tibetan singing bowls.
What happens in a singing bowl session?
The client lies on his/her back and different bowls are played and moved around the body as well as on the body if needed to tune the client’s harmonic frequency and clear the aura. It is deeply relaxing. Some may cry or laugh while others fall asleep. But the result is a sense of relaxation, joyfulness and physical well-being.
How do Tibetan singing bowls heal?
The bowls heal through sound waves that harmonise the brain and stimulate the body to rediscover its own frequency. The water in our cells vibrates to the low frequency like gamma, higher like theta and beta waves which the brain picks up. These waves release repressed emotions and stimulate feelings of joy and happiness. Once the body is synchronised and in harmony, it can then vibrate independently and that’s when healing occurs.
How did you become a singing bowl master?
I lived in Dharamsala (the Tibetan community center in northern India) in the 1970s and became an ordained novice monk at Drepung Loseling Monastery in Mundgod, southern India for two years. Back in Germany, I founded the Buddhist Center in Dortmund and later on in Diessen before preparing for my teacher degree in Buddhist Philosophy at the Buddhist Center in Hamburg. I’ve worked as a therapist, I’m trained in Shamanism for 25 years and also wrote a book on traditional Tibetan medicine in the 1990s. As a "child" of the New Age movement sound was always with me.
Can specific bowls work to heal specific problems?
Yes. Insomnia, muscle tensions, stress, rheumatism, digest problems, detox, tinnitus, depression, broken heart, and many emotional issues. It is also very beneficial for pregnant women and the babies. How many sessions does it take? Some need only one session and gaining deep relaxation and inner peace and joy while joint problems, insomnia and tinnitus needs three to five sessions.
Healing Music - Winnie´s CD´s
An effective instrument for emotional and physical transformation (thanks to latest technology they can be used with and without headphones). These CDs effectively and distinctly change the state of the brain to last and therefore, also the body and the soul. The brainwave CDs can be seen as a supplement to the usual therapeutic and medical methods which shouldn’t replace them in any case. Their effects are undoubtedly proved by clinic studies.
The Principle Concept The BRAINWAVE-CDs use special sound structures to change the functions of the brain by complex effects on the nerves in an optimal way. This process is called Brainwave Entrainment. So, it isn’t “meditation music” with “musical effects”, but special vibrations that - supported by music – intensively change the brainwaves and optimize for desired states und feelings. There are numerous indications. Just listening in a relaxed atmosphere is sufficient. After some exercise the effects can be realized distinctly and will still continue after the session. Brain structures and functions will be changed to last in the positive sense, so a continuous increase in the IQ can be reached.
Changes in Physiological parameters can also be measured, so there is, for instance, an increased release of serotonin (antidepressant effect) or of the growth hormone or it leads to a new formation of nerve cells, neuronal bonds. There have been 7 decades of research in neuropsychology and neurophysiology with regard to Brainwave sound. Brainwave music is pulsating, vibrating, inspiring, transforming, harmonizing, enlarging the consciousness, reducing stress, energetic, structuring, stimulating and synchronizes both hemispheres of the brain (better interaction with healthy and integrated people)… and supports therapeutically with numerous indications (sleep, restlessness, fear, stress, trauma, headache, depression, blood pressure, … for more concentration, meditation, alertness, creativity, growth hormone (rejuvenation) (better immune system …)
Instruction to Sessions
The best way of listening to the CD is a quiet environment without stress, in a comfortable chair or lying, eyes closed, at a pleasant volume. Note the correct positioning of the headphones (right headphone on the right ear!); the headphones should be of good or very good quality and fit well. A glass of water before beginning stimulates the transformation processes.
This sound helps to relax, meditate and to increase motivation and is used for psychotherapy. It doesn’t replace appropriate medical or psychotherapeutic diagnostic and treatment. The Brainwave CD shouldn’t be used by: epileptics, pregnant women (no negative cases known – only precautions!), people with pacemakers or tendency to fits in general. The CD mustn’t be listened to in any case during driving or handling a machine. You may change the soundtracks into mp3 files on the computer at any time to play them on a mp3 player, the effects are the same (good quality from 192 kbps. WMA isn’t recommended.
