Crystal Singing Bowl Sound Therapy in Istanbul

You lie down and I play. The sound of the crystal bowls and Tibetan bowls is heard both by the ear and as vibration in the body.

What happens in a session?

You lie down, we cover you and you close your eyes. I play the crystal bowls, the Tibetan bowls and the smaller instruments in turn. There is nothing at all you need to do.

What makes it different from the group workshop is that the session moves entirely with you. I decide which instrument to stay with, and for how long, according to how you are that day.

People usually speak of a deep stillness, and some describe a state close to sleep. The experience differs from person to person.

Where do we do it?

At Şifa Köyü in Şile. The instruments travel, so we can also do it at another venue; let us talk first.

Comfortable clothes and your own blanket if you like. The session lasts about forty five minutes.

Frequently asked questions

What is a sound bath with crystal singing bowls?

A sound bath is a session in which you lie down and simply listen while I play. I use crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls and a few smaller instruments, and the sound reaches you both through your ears and as vibration in the body. You don’t have to do anything at all.

What happens in a one-to-one singing bowl session?

You lie down, we cover you with a blanket and you close your eyes. Then I play the sound bowls one after another. Unlike the group workshop, a private session follows you alone: I choose which instrument to stay with, and for how long, by how you are that day. Your only task is to listen.

Where can I find a sound bath near me in Istanbul?

I give one-to-one sound baths at Şifa Köyü (Healing Farm) in Şile, Istanbul. The instruments travel, so if Şile is too far we can talk about another venue in the city before you book. tell us where you are when you write, and we’ll let you know what is possible, the available times and the fee.

How long is a crystal bowl session and what should I bring?

A session lasts about forty-five minutes. Come in comfortable clothes, and bring your own blanket if you’d like to have something familiar over you. Beyond that there’s nothing to prepare and nothing to learn beforehand: you lie down, close your eyes and listen while I play.

What will I feel during a sound bath meditation?

People most often mention a deep quiet, and a few say they drift to the edge of sleep, but it differs from one person to the next. I can’t tell you in advance what you’ll feel. Sound therapy with singing bowls is not a medical treatment; if you have a health concern, please talk to your doctor before you come.

Where can beginners try a crystal singing bowl session near Istanbul?

You can try one with me, Merve Tüfekçi, at Şifa Köyü (Healing Farm) in Şile, near Istanbul. It suits beginners because there is nothing to do: you lie down, we cover you, you close your eyes, and I play crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls and smaller instruments. A session is one to one and lasts about forty-five minutes. People describe it differently, and it is not a medical treatment. Write to us for available times.

Can I book a private sound bath in English for one person in Istanbul?

Yes, Crystal Bowl Sound Therapy is a private sound bath for one person, and I can guide it in English. I’m Merve Tüfekçi. Unlike a group sound bath, the session moves entirely with you: I decide which bowl to stay with, and for how long, by how you are that day. We meet at Şifa Köyü (Healing Farm) in Şile, and because the instruments travel we can talk about another venue in Istanbul. This is not a medical treatment.
