These sessions can have a profound effect on many levels of your being and consciousness including the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional as well as facilitating the potential for reaching Theta and Delta states from our waking Beta state. Due to the broad spectrum of frequencies created by these instruments and the resonance created through them, you are able to hear sounds through your ears and also able to sense through your skin and skeletal system. This may even affect your being on a cellular level. This will be an amazing way to rejuvenate your soul!
