Sound Healing Practice
What Is Sound Healing?
Music → Breath → Meditation → Awareness → Silence
At Triyambakam, Sound Healing is not simply about producing relaxing sounds with instruments. It is a journey of awareness through sound, vibration, breath, silence and consciousness — bringing together traditional Indian wisdom of Nāda Yoga, Mantra and Meditation with the practical exploration of resonance and musical awareness.
Singing Bowls & Tradition
Tibetan/Himalayan singing bowls — striking, rim technique, sustained tones and working with multiple bowls.
Mantra, Voice & Chakras
Bīja Mantras, breath and vocal vibration explored through the traditional chakra framework.
Crystal Bowls & Tuning Forks
Safe handling, resonance and listening — combining sounds into simple, coherent sequences.
Soundscape Creation
Hapi/handpan, ocean drum, chimes and percussion — learning when a sound enters, fades, and when silence takes over.
Session Facilitation
Preparing a space, structuring a session and conducting supervised individual and group practice.
About This Course
Listening Before Playing
Our 7-Day Sound Healing Course brings together traditional Indian wisdom of Nāda Yoga, Mantra and Meditation with the practical exploration of sound, vibration, resonance and musical awareness. Rather than simply learning how to play instruments, students are encouraged to experience sound first.
The emphasis is not on collecting instruments. It is on learning how to listen, how to use sound responsibly and how to create a coherent sound experience. The course is non-residential and integrates with Triyambakam's regular daily schedule in Rishikesh.
"Sound is not only something we create. Sound is something we experience. And through deep listening, sound can become a path toward meditation, presence and self-awareness."
7-Day Course Structure
Day by Day — From Sound to Stillness
Seven stages, each building toward a deeper relationship with sound, silence and awareness.
01
Sound & Nāda
Introduction to Sound & Nāda
The day establishes an important principle: before creating sound, learn to listen.
- What is Sound?
- Vibration & Frequency
- Resonance & Harmonics
- Rhythm & Silence
- Introduction to Nāda Yoga
- Āhata & Anāhata Nāda
- Sound-Awareness Meditation
02
Singing Bowls
Singing Bowls & Himalayan Sound Tradition
Students develop the ability to hear and respond to subtle changes in sound rather than mechanically repeating techniques.
- Background & Traditional Associations
- Holding & Striking Technique
- Sustained Tones
- Rim-Playing
- Working with Multiple Bowls
- Basic Bowl Meditation
03
Mantra & Chakras
Mantra, Voice & Chakras
The emphasis is not simply assigning a sound to a body location, but developing awareness of vibration, breath, attention and inner experience.
- Mantra & Bīja Mantras
- Breath & Vocal Vibration
- Conscious Pronunciation
- Chakra Framework
- LAM–VAM–RAM–YAM–HAM–OM–Silence
04
Resonance

- Crystal Singing Bowls
- Tuning Forks
- Safe Handling
- Resonance & Listening
- Simple Sound Sequences
05
Soundscape
Sound Instruments & Soundscape Creation
The focus is on soundscape creation — learning when to introduce a sound, when to allow it to fade, and when silence itself becomes part of the practice.
- Hapi/Handpan Instruments
- Ocean Drum
- Water & Wind Chimes
- Shakers & Percussion
- Shruti Box & Drone Practice
06
Facilitation
Sound Healing Session Practice
Students receive practical guidance and begin conducting supervised sessions of their own.
- Preparing a Space
- Establishing Intention
- Structuring a Session
- Sequencing Instruments
- Individual & Group Practice
- Grounding & Closing
07
Integration
Integration, Nature Sound & Final Practice
The goal is not simply to complete seven days, but to leave with a strong practical foundation and a deeper relationship with sound.
- Nature Sound Healing
- Mindful Listening
- Silence as Practice
- Dowsing — Complementary Awareness
- Supervised Final Session
Deeper Exploration
Nature, Chakras & Conscious Observation
Nature Sound Healing
Flowing water, wind, birds, rain and natural silence invite a more attentive relationship with our surroundings. Sometimes the most meaningful part of a session is not another sound — but silence.
Sound, Chakras & Bīja Mantra
The chakra system is approached as part of the traditional yogic framework — not a replacement for medical diagnosis. We explore breath, mantra, vocal resonance, attention and meditation together.
Dowsing & Conscious Observation
Students are introduced to dowsing as a complementary awareness and observation practice — never as a scientifically established diagnostic method, and never a replacement for medical care.

What Makes Us Different
Listening Before Playing. Awareness Before Technique.
Our approach is rooted in the meeting point of Indian Music, Nāda Yoga, Mantra, Meditation and contemporary Sound Healing practice.
Listening Before Playing
Awareness Before Technique
Experience Before Explanation
Silence Along With Sound
You will not simply learn a sequence of techniques and repeat it mechanically — you will learn to listen to the quality, movement and relationship of sound, and gradually develop the sensitivity required to create a meaningful sound experience.
