The procedure is performed on the floor on a comfortable mat, in a warm and well ventilated area. If possible, in the twilight or in soft light.

While the procedure patient is wearing cotton loose clothes, or he is naked and covered with a cotton sheet. Patients are advised to abstain (for one day before the procedure and for one day after it) on products of animal origin, smoking and alcohol. After the procedure of the Tibetan singing bowls massage it is extremely useful to spend the rest of the day in a relaxed atmosphere, eliminating the possibility of stress.

In addition, it is necessary to have a burning candle. Close to the patient it is advised to put the things symbolizing or representing the five elements.

At the beginning the person receiving a procedure and the Master of the Sound sit on the floor facing in the direction to that side of the light, which is conformable for the purpose of the procedure. If the aim is to harmonize, then choose the direction to the east. The patient is encouraged to imagine himself in the rainbow transparent sphere. The therapist is configured to the procedure and removes the first sounds of the Tibetan singing bowl according to the technology. Next, the therapist moves the singing bowl around the patient’s body, periodically removing the sound.

After that the therapist puts Tibetan singing bowl upside down on the patient’s head and removes the sound according to the method of the massage. At the end of this stage the patient is asked to lie down on his stomach in a comfortable position, and the ankle should be enclosed under the roller. The body of the patient is hiding with a light natural tissue, the head can be covered with a towel. Next, the therapist removes the vibration from Tibetan singing bowl and sets it on the body of a patient according to the scheme which is necessary in a particular case. He performs this manipulation on the back surface of the patient’s body, and then removes the bowl from the body and offers the patient to turn back.

After the patient is turned back on, the therapist covers his eyes with light tissue, and performs light traction (stretching) of the lower and upper extremities. And then removes the vibration of Tibetan singing bowl and sets the bowl on the body of the patient. Then he moves the bowl on the patient’s body, removing the bowl’s sound.

After finishing the proring, the therapist removes singing bowl from the human body.
