This course explores the role of sound, vibration, and rhythm as tools for meditation, creativity, and personal well-being. Across cultures, sound has long been used in contemplative practices to support relaxation, focus, and a deeper sense of connection with oneself and the surrounding environment. Participants are introduced to a variety of sound-based practices that encourage mindful listening, vocal expression, and creative exploration.
Drawing from contemporary research on sound and brainwave states as well as traditional spiritual practices, students learn how sound can support relaxation, concentration, and emotional balance. Through experiential exercises, participants explore how vocal toning, chanting, rhythm, and simple
instruments can be incorporated into meditation or reflective practice.
