Beauty and sound
In beauty, singing bowls can have a wonderfully supportive effect. The holistic relaxation method of sound massage developed by Peter Hess became established in many beauty and spa facilities decades ago. The sounds of the singing bowls bring even more harmony and calm to treatments. Desired effects can be intensified, and the additional deep relaxation turns every treatment into a small break for the soul.
Ways to use sound in beauty
There are many different ways to use sound in beauty. Before a treatment, for example, it is a good idea to sound a singing bowl near the head to loosen the facial muscles. This helps the skin absorb active ingredients better. The gentle vibrations of a singing bowl are also ideal for preparing hands and feet for a reflexology massage and loosening them beforehand.
While a mask or body wrap takes effect, the relaxing sounds of a singing bowl or gong can help clients switch off. This way, they also experience a short singing bowl meditation. In this deep relaxation, they can be completely with themselves and forget everyday life for a moment.
Singing bowls can also be a wonderful addition to manicure or pedicure treatments. While hands or feet bathe in warm water enriched with essential oils in an XL Singing Bowl, clients feel the gentle vibrations of the sounding singing bowl.
Examples of possible uses:
- Loosening the muscles before facial treatments
- Preparing for a reflexology massage
- Short singing bowl meditation during the treatment
- Water sound bath during a manicure or pedicure
Additional training for beauticians
If you are a beautician or wellness practitioner who is also trained in the Peter Hess® Sound Methods, you can wonderfully combine Ayurveda, wellness or cosmetic treatments with the soothing sounds and create very special experiences. This can also set you apart from the competition. If you would like to offer your clients something special or are looking for new ideas for your own field of work, we recommend the one-day seminar for beauticians at the Peter Hess® Institute.
In this seminar, you will get to know singing bowls and elements of the Peter Hess® Sound Massage. Under expert guidance, you will gain your first experience with the singing bowls, learn specific sound exercises and experience sound relaxation in a guided partner exercise.
Particular attention is paid to the uses of the décolleté singing bowl. In this wellness treatment, the focus is on consciously perceiving the sounds and vibrations.
Wellness and sound
In wellness and spa, too, there are numerous ways to enrich what you offer with singing bowls or gongs. Besides the classic sound massage, short sound relaxation sessions are popular with many wellness clients, for example for the abdominal area. For this, you place a singing bowl slightly above the navel at the level of the solar plexus and gently strike it in a slow rhythm. This area reacts very sensitively to stress and tension, which is why the sound vibrations are often perceived as particularly soothing here. The sounds continue through the body in even waves and loosen all the tissue.
In addition to treatments for individuals, wellness hotels often offer group sessions. Sound and imagery journeys are particularly popular. Participants follow a pleasant narrating voice and harmonious sounds. For private use, such imagery journeys are also available on CD.
The Peter Hess® Wellness Sound Massage
Wellness sound massage is a lovely addition to the wellness and spa sector. Short sound sessions offer a sound experience with regenerating relaxation. The Peter Hess® Institute has developed special training courses for this purpose.
The Peter Hess® Wellness Sound Massage training covers the basics of the Peter Hess® Sound Massage and three special wellness sound massages. These three offerings each have a different focus and last 25, 35 and 45 minutes: Vital-Klang: relaxation from head to toe (25-minute back sound massage), Emotion-Klang: soothing vibrations flow through the body (35-minute sound massage) and Natural Sound and Inner Soul: being in harmony with yourself (45-minute sound massage).
Participants also receive initial ideas on how the soothing sound elements can be combined with classic treatments, making them more attractive and effective. Simple group sessions such as a sound meditation and a guided imagery are also part of this seminar.
Note
The seminar content can also be learned as part of the five-day intensive Peter Hess® Wellness Sound Massage training and is suitable not only for spas but also as an addition to any sound massage practice.
