Tibetan Sound Healing

August 25–27, 2023

Alejandro Chaoul

Discover the benefits of Tibetan sound healing meditation. Learn practices that bring together the mind and its embodied energy, supported by the simple and powerful ancient Tibetan vocalized sounds (A, Om, and Hung) that work with different chakras to provide a sense of embodied meditation.

We will also study the clinical research done at MD Anderson Cancer Center on using these practices to help patients regain cognitive capacity after chemotherapy.

Meditating with these healing sounds can help you clear away obstacles, recuperate your being, and bring lost qualities back into your everyday life. This ancient healing modality can help connect you to your inner wisdom to achieve a relaxed yet aware state of mind and a healthier lifestyle.

  • Learn and practice meditation with breath and vocalized sounds.
  • Find out about the latest scientific research on the benefits of these practices.
  • Discover ways to incorporate these practices into your everyday life.
