Tune Up Tuesdays

Join Sound Therapist, Teri Granahan, at North Pocono Public Library for a super relaxing mini sound bowl session to “tune up” your body instrument using a full set of quartz crystal sound bowls. By the end of the event, you will understand and experience the true benefits of sound healing.
Sound vibrations affect the water contained in our cells and since our bodies are made up of mostly water, sound therapies offer the most noninvasive, highly restorative sense of wellness deep into those very cells. Minimally sound helps the body and mind relax. Maximally, it can assist the body’s regenerative nature and return health to the state of the mind/body.
