Third Life Studio is delighted to welcome Joan Caplan and the deeply healing, meditative sounds of her Crystal Singing Bowls for an evening of reflection and contemplation. Please join us! Contemplative Adventures: Crystal Singing Bowl Meditation with Joan Caplan Friday, October 12 7:30-9pm What a joy it is at the end of the week to relax, reduce our stress, let go of our tension and feel rejuvenated mentally, emotionally, and spiritually! The crystal singing bowls release pure, clear sounds which are calming, soothing, and nurturing. They are often called 'healing bowls'. The beautiful vibrations and cascading tranquility of their sound help us to center our energy, breathe more deeply, soften our muscles, and refresh our mood. The meditative healing of the crystal singing bowls resonates, expands and creates harmony. All the listener has to do is listen. During this session Joan will play the crystal singing bowls while you rest and relax. As you relax, your inward journey may begin to unfold, and you are invited to allow yourself to enter that internal balanced healing environment where you can experience the still point where deep meditation, relaxation, and rejuvenation take place. There will be time for sharing afterwards , if you wish, and for questions. Since retiring from her twenty-year psychotherapy private practice in order to bring musical sound into the center of her life, Joan has been immersed in studying, performing, and sharing the joy of music as an instrument of healing. Her experience as a therapist and musician, as well as her deep mindfulness, inspire her offering of the singing bowls. She creates a meditative atmosphere and is very sensitive to the needs and responses of the individuals listening. $15 in advance, $20 at the door. Advance registration is strongly encouraged; details provided upon registration. To register, please make check payable to Joan Caplan and mail to: Joan Caplan, 146 Walnut St, Newton, MA 02460.
