After the retreat ended, several of us decided to go to the Pyramids of Chi for a “sound healing experience.” The Pyramids of Chi were built to induce state of the art sound healing and relaxation. The experience uses a combination of ancient sounds, sacred geometry design, polar positioning, and the shape of a pyramid. The rhythm, beats, and vibrations of the gongs, drums and Didgeridoo, in combination with the scent of sandalwood and the peaceful atmosphere inside the pyramid, reduce “beta-wave” brain waves that dominate conscious thought and increase the intensity of “theta-waves” within the brain. The increase in theta-waves brings a deep relaxation and awareness of inner self. Researchers who study “sound healing” claim that 20 minutes in a “theta state” can be the equivalent to 3-5 hours of normal sleep in rejuvenating the body.
When we entered the pyramid, we chose a mat to lay down on and were given a mask to put over our eyes. Then the pyramid is darkened and several musicians play all the instruments in an intentional way to produce the sound healing effect.
For centuries, the ethereal and emotive vibrations created from Gongs, Drums, and Didgeridoos have helped countless cultures to achieve many states of mind, health and spirit.

Another amazing experience!
