Foundation in Vibration is a crystal bowl and meditation training for people who want to take control of their own well-being and be of service to others.

Every religion, spiritual practice, and indigenous group utilizes some form of sound frequency to unite people in ceremony, celebration, and healing. No matter where you travel, you’ll find a rich culture of music and instruments that can often be traced back for thousands of years. We see gongs, singing bowls, didgeridoos, rattles, drums, bells, chimes, and the human voice. There’s also decades of scientific research that shows how powerfully frequency impacts our overall physical, mental, and chemical state.

The structure of the course has 3 parts:

Let’s Talk Vibration digs into Cymatics, Altered States of Consciousness, and Intention.

Vibration Creation is where you’ll learn techniques for playing the bowls and basic elements of musical awareness such as dynamics, tempo, and consistency

Meditation Facilitation covers the responsibilities of a facilitator and the responsibilities of someone receiving the meditation when you’re playing singing bowls to help others

The goal of meditation is not to quiet your mind, but to explore yourself at the deepest levels. Developing an understanding of frequency, the fundamental building block of the universe, and how frequency impacts our minds and bodies, can open us up to a world of possibilities and new understandings about our health, how we are affected by those around us, and how we can support the needs of those closest to us.

The instructor, Jay Taylor, has facilitated over 1,000 sound meditation experiences in the Chicagoland area, and is the director and co-founder of the Ahimsa School of Sound Healing. Previous to starting Ahimsa, Jay had a 10-year teaching career working with students with special needs.

“If I had to trace my decision to become a meditation facilitator to one event, it’s the time I was monitoring 1st grade recess and two kids ran into each other. One of the boys was screaming, and I ran up to him and asked if I could play him my tuning fork. With his permission I brought the fork to his ear, and he instantly stopped screaming and became calm. A moment later he was back to playing. The power of sound to change lives, shift perspectives, and unite people became very clear in that moment. It’s for that reason that I created this course and have dedicated my life to sharing the power of sound with as many people as possible.”

Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned musician or meditator, you’ll leave this training feeling confident using crystal bowls for your own meditation and for facilitating crystal bowl meditation for others. It’s also one of the easiest time commitments for a training here at Sat Nam Yoga, happening from 10am - 4:30pm on a Saturday, leaving plenty of room to make use of your weekend outside of this transformative experience. It’s also one of the most affordable sound training programs of this depth being offered anywhere.

Dive into the world of frequency, meditation, and crystals and learn how to utilize these techniques to create more inner peace and physical and emotional health in your life (and in the lives of others.)
