About Tibetan Sound Healing

Since ancient times meditative practices from many spiritual traditions have used sound and its vibration as an essential tool for healing and spiritual development. Through the singing and chanting, spiritual practitioners and healers could access purification and restore harmony within physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual dimensions. The Tibetan Bön Buddhist tradition is one of the oldest unbroken lineages of wisdom that uses sound for the well-being of its practitioners.

In this course you will learn to use the healing power of five sacred syllables referred to as the Five Warrior Syllables. Guided by the mind and carried by the breath through subtle channels and chakras of the body, the power of sound will open the potential to bring joy and love to your life, facilitate personal healing, dissolve energetic disturbances, and awaken positive action in the world around you. Through practicing with these five sacred and powerful sounds, you can transform your life and discern a clear path that begins with openness and leads to spontaneous, virtuous action in the world.

Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche is your guide and teacher in this workshop. With the capacity to translate ancient texts into modern Western idiom, he will present these teachings and instruct the meditations in a way that is clear and practical.

Workshop dates: January 16 to February 7, 2010

“These are known in Bon as the Five Warrior Syllables. The reason these seed syllables are called warriors is because they are powerful and indestructible. They are associated with the Five Wisdoms — and it is wisdom that is able to penetrate fear and ignorance to cut the roots of samsara. Our negative emotions, even physical illness, are a result of ignorance. Using sound in this way can be very healing on many levels."
