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 are also decades of scientific research showing how powerfully meditation, in it’s various forms, impacts our overall physical, mental, and physiological state.
Foundations 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.
The foundations course will take place over two days (Nov 1 and 15) from 1:00-6:00pm:
Session #1:
-Engage in scientific experiments with Cymatics (the science of frequency interaction) and frequency fields; Analyze experiment outcomes; Discuss how our findings align with new technologies and their implications for the field of sound healing.
-Learn crystal singing bowl technique and methodology; Discuss basic elements of musical awareness; Develop your ear through targeted listening.
Session #2:
-Discuss altered states of consciousness, binaural beats, and brainwave entrainment; Explore how instruments and frequency can impact brainwave states.
-Explore the science behind intention: Design intentions for specific purposes, Pair intention with sound frequency.
-Deepen confidence in bowl technique; Learn new techniques; Play with others to explore bowl interactions.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned musician or meditator, you’ll leave this training feeling confident in the use of crystal bowls for the purposes of meditation. 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 crystal bowls and learn how to utilize these techniques to create inner peace and physical and emotional health in your life (and in the lives of others).

Our instructor, Jay Taylor, has facilitated nearly 2,000 sound meditation experiences in the Chicagoland area and is the director and co-founder of the Ahimsa School of Sound Healing. Previous to his work in sound, 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 is 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.” — Jay Taylor

Do I need a bowl to join the course? Our stock of singing bowls will be available for students to use throughout our time together. If you find a bowl you like you may purchase it at the end of the day. Students will receive 10% off of all instrument purchases. Please email our instructor, Jay Taylor, at [email protected] with any questions.

Pricing: For the two-session class: $350 / $275 for Ahimsa members (includes teachers and work/study)
