The most in-depth program offered on Singing Bowls in the world today

 

 

For centuries the cultures of the Himalayas used what westerner's call Tibetan Singing Bowls, for ritual, ceremony, meditational practices, and healing. A master teacher and knowledge holder of this tradition will present an in depth program that will enable students to acquire the ability to be an effective practitioner with these instruments of transformation. This is the only program of this type being offered in the  world today.  

 

This is a rare and unique opportunity to study and learn from a Master of this tradition of 33 years. Shamanic and Energetic practitioners, Feng-Shui, Reiki, Massage, Jin Shin, Meditation, Hospice, Psychologists, Sound and Vibration healers are strongly urged to attend. This is a serious program that is both academic and scientific in nature. ADVANCE REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.

 

Program instructor is Mitch Nur, founder of the 9ways Mystery School of Shamanic Studies. He is the world's foremost authority on Himalayan metallophones including Singing Bowls, Singing Bells (Ghantas), Tingshas (ritual cymbals), and the Bonpo Shang (ritual flat bell of ZhangZhung). He has lectured all over the world about the healing and transformative nature of Singing Bowls and is regarded as a 'Shen' or spiritual holder of this tradition.

* Note: Dr. Nur established this in-depth academic program nearly 2 decades ago, in the hope of educating students in this craft. His program has often been copied, but never duplicated. This is the premiere program on this subject, and should not be confused with any other program of this type. There is so much misleading information scattered throughout the internet about singing bowls. He has found that most students have bought into the majority of the internets misinformation, believed the innuendo of other poorly educated or resourced instructors, or are just plain making it up. A week does not go by, where he does not encounter one of these so called experts. "Anytime anyone would like to engage me in a debate on this subject, just let me know."  There are many programs being offered by self proclaimed teachers or so called experts who have never lived or for that matter, even traveled in the Himalayas. Dr. Nur is considered an expert in this field by Nepalese and Tibetan authorities. He is also regarded as a serious practitioner by Bon and Nyingma Lamas who he has studied with for decades. He is considered by eastern teachers as a ' nagpa ', and has completed the same foundational practices as any monk in any monastery in the East. His Level 1 program is offered to everyone for a small fee, and sometimes no fee at all. However, his Master Classes are by invitation only, and are only offered to what he considers serious practitioners by his evaluation, not the students. Students that have completed this program, are allowed to attend as many Master Classes as they want throughout their lives, free of charge, as a way of being updated on all current information, and to receive additional mentoring.
