Kelly MacInnis is a meditation instructor and intuitive facilitator of sound healing by using vibrational sound created by a variety of different sized quartz crystal singing bowls.

Crystal bowls offer vibrational healing

It may seem a little outside the box and New Age, but vibrational healing through sounds and music has been used for centuries.

Kelly MacInnis, of Creation Songs in Longmont, says while still considered an alternative therapy, vibrational healing should be considered for something as simple as a common cold, eliminating or at least minimizing stress or emotional trauma, or even adjunct with other therapies for something as serious as cancer. The process is a noninvasive, touch free, drug free, inexpensive and simple method of stimulating the body and mind from the inside out.

MacInnis offers vibrational healing through crystal bowls that are used along with meditation. The bowls offer a physical feeling of meditation, while the sound and different frequencies interrupt the brain's normal processing. As little as 15 minutes can make you feel better, simply by eliminating undue stress and offering a more relaxed state of mind and body, he says.

"The bowls aren't healing you, they are putting you in a state to heal yourself," MacInnis says. "The bowls are giving you the ability to relax yourself into better health. Sometimes we need to stop focusing on the problem to find the solution."

MacInnis knows that Western medicine has its place and he does not promote vibrational healing to cure things such as cancer, but he does believe it can help. "What it comes down to is your attitude," he says. "If you believe it is something that is going to help it will, the more you believe the better."

As a culture today, people are always on overdrive and busy. MacInnis promotes stepping back and trying to live in the moment instead of internalizing and over thinking everything that happens throughout the day and over a lifetime. This can be hard as many of these actions are learned responses, but eventually will help a person lead a more healthy life emotionally and physically because they will not have undue stress or emotion in their lives. "If you come you can feel it the first time," he says. "What happens afterwards is up to you."

While mediation takes time to learn and master, vibrational healing with the crystal bowls can help a person enter the state needed. "The sound gives your body circulation to heal and the bowls give you the opportunity to change the way you think and act. Healing is where you find it," he says. "The extent to which you can heal yourself is up to you."
