A Bozeman woman who practices a special sound therapy is taking on some unlikely clients halfway around the world.
Each
Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowl" has their own unique musical note, but Linda Chambers said it's more than just pretty music.
These
bowls can help heal pain, she said, through the sound and vibrations
the bowls emit. Chambers said she works with the body's seven chakras,
or points of energy. She'll play certain bowls to target specific parts
of the body or different emotions. War veterans have even come to her to
help work with their post-traumatic stress disorder, she said. Chambers
said it's a way to bring the body, mind and spirit back into alignment.
"This
is a really effective way of doing the releasing, and bringing things
back in to a harmonic place," she said. And now, Chambers is taking her
unique therapy to unlikely clients across the world. "They rescue
elephants from horrendous situations" she said, about the Petara
Elephant Farm. The government-sanctioned, family-owned elephant refuge
in Thailand takes in abused elephants, and nurtures them back to health.
Linda
visited last year, and said her connection with the gentle animals
touched her heart. "They're really intelligent, and they have such an
amazing presence," she said. So the owners of Petara asked her to bring
her singing bowl therapy to the elephants.
