Sound Healing Level One — 4 Days • 16 Hours • USD 370

Begin your professional journey in therapeutic sound. Sound Healing Level One at the Institute of Natural Medicine (INM), Thamel, Kathmandu teaches authentic Himalayan singing bowl techniques, crystal singing bowl work, and basic gong immersion. This 4-day, 16-hour intensive blends practical skill-building with clear theory so you leave confident to offer safe, effective sound healing sessions.

Why This Course Is Different

Learn in a small-class setting from an internationally respected healing expert. Our training balances tradition and modern practice: lineage-based Himalayan methods are taught alongside nervous-system-friendly approaches used in therapeutic sound work today. Classes are held in a tranquil, forest-like studio tucked in the heart of lively Thamel — an unexpectedly peaceful space that supports deep learning and practice.

Who This Course Is For

This Level One training suits beginners and practitioners alike: yoga teachers, Reiki practitioners, massage therapists, meditation guides, and wellness professionals who want to add sound to their offerings. It is also ideal for travelers seeking authentic Himalayan sound healing training in Nepal.

What You Will Learn (Theory + Practical)

Over four days you will receive hands-on practice and evidence-based theory in clear, accessible lessons. Core learning modules include:

• Foundations of sound healing: vibration, resonance, entrainment, and the effects of sound on brainwaves and the nervous system
• Himalayan singing bowl techniques: holding, striking, rim-playing, mallet selection, and sustained harmonic fields
• Crystal singing bowl use: chakra-specific frequencies, tuning approaches, and metal–crystal bowl combinations
• Basic gong methods: safe introduction to gong immersion for clearing and deep resonance
• Session design: structuring private sessions and group sound baths, pacing, and client safety
• Energetic hygiene & ethics: contraindications, client screening, and professional boundaries
• Live practice & feedback: supervised sessions with guided improvement
