Tibetan medicine teaches that intention is powerful. Intention is two-fold: the flow of energy is directed by your clear intention; and by my intention as a trained practitioner working with sacred sound implements in your behalf.
Because of this dual principle, the first part of the time we spend together in a Tibetan bowl session will be to craft a simple, clear statement of intention.
Why are you here?
What do you want in your life or your work, your relationships, your aspirations?
What do you want to have happen as a result of this session?
Usually we will find that the focus is on one of these areas primarily. But of course, because everything is connected, intentional movement in one life domain creates effects in every part of our lives.
We are all far more powerful than we imagine. At the same time, Power works in ways that the rational, left-hemisphere part of our minds may find puzzling, at first. Power, summoned by Intention, may give us benefits we never dreamed of.
You can imagine in great detail exactly what you want to achieve or gain or to have happen, materially, emotionally, relationally or physically. If you want something powerfully enough, you will manifest it. If you want it in sufficient detail, you are likely to manifest exactly that.
And, sometimes, leaving some space for intention to take effect can be helpful. It can be very powerful is to set an intention that allows spirit to provide gifts that may be even greater than your own imagination of how life can be.
Whatever intention we clarify together, the bowls and sacred sound instruments will serve that intention, in ways that neither you, nor I, are ever quite in complete control of. But the power of your intention is ultimately what guides the balancing, aligning and healing work of the instruments, and always for your highest good.
The cosmos is ordered, not chaotic. Its purpose may be larger than we can fully see at any given time. But each one of us is here to fulfill a unique role in the cosmos, and the time-honored wisdom traditions of vibrational alignment are designed to illuminate and aid our fulfillment of that unique purpose. To the degree we set fruitful intention, we will be likely to experience its fulfillment, and making use of the sound and vibrational ‘technologies’ are a very good and natural way to tell the universe you are ready and willing to live to your fullest, healthiest and most satisfying potential, and to receive all the help you can use to accomplish it.
