Alternative Healing Techniques
Mandalas and Sound Therapy
Mandalas are circular designs containing concentric geometric forms, containing images of deities, abstract designs and color schemes symbolizing the universe, totality, or wholeness. In fact mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel. In Tibetan culture the making of the mandala is more important that the finished product. They are created in dimensional patterns as a visual aid to evoke meditation, reflect emotions to balance the body, mind and spirit. They are 
presented paintings, sand art or even computerized forms that give them a kaleidoscopic moving forms producing dynamically changing patterns .
Sound Healing
Sound healing works through various techniques and technologies. It uses the energy of sound in order to promote wellness. Vibration has a strong impact on matter, by producing tones or timbres the matter or substance gets affected producing a negative or positive outcome. This effect is called Cymatics.
Both techniques used in conjunction or alone are known to aid in:
pain alleviation
birthing process
anxiety
surgery (used by surgeons and patients)
self consciousness and awareness

dying process
