Himalayan Bowls 11 Days Training in NEPAL (March 2024)

 

During March 2024 a new edition of the “International Course on the use of Himalayan Singing Bowls” at a professional level will be held in Kathmandu (Nepal). It is the first training offered in 11 days with the most complete Programme in the world. In this 2024 edition there will be two groups:

 

- from 3 to 14 March 2024: in English: 

1 space available

 

- from 20 to 31 March: in Spanish:

Spanish Group: FULLY BOOKED

 

The training is given by the best Masters of Sound with Himalayan Singing Bowls and Gong from Nepal, with international experience such as Santa R. Shakya, Sajan Thapaliya or Amit Shrestha; and the Programme is directed by Óscar QdeCuenco who also teaches the Kinesiology Test among other subjects. The ancestral knowledge of the East meets the therapeutic technique of the West.

There will be about 100 hours of class and a Syllabus with all the contents learnt: every day a Dossier with the detailed lessons, and audiovisual support. The teachings are very sensitive and include very powerful energy movements. In addition, there will also be a Practice with blind people from the NGOs "Chain For Change" or "Seeing Hands Nepal".

The structure of the Programme takes into account that first the therapist has to go through a personal process with Sound. Once they know how to locate their blockages and know how to stay as much as possible in their centre, they are at the point of being able to apply Sound to other people. For this reason the Programme includes a section on self-treatment and a section on treating others. Also a Masterclass to apply sound in group meditations, Tibetan Singing Bowls concerts, or Yoga sessions, among many other skills...

The Training is intensive, so you take home homework to work on your Self first and then apply all the treatments and sequences learnt to other people.

During the 11 days in Kathmandu you learn in addition to the use and handling of Tibetan Singing Bowls, Bell and Dorje, Tingshas, and Gong; the correct use of the Kinesiology Muscle Test to know how to use it with Sound, the Kinesonora Protocol Ⓡ. You also learn the Practice of "Nada Yoga" or Yoga of Sound. And specific techniques that you can only and exclusively learn from the best Masters in Nepal with decades of experience. It is a Healing Sound Course that moves a lot of energy, so protection and energy management tools such as Personal Planetary Mantras (a unique and secret formula for each person depending on your date of birth) or Protective Mudras, among others, are offered....

You can consult the Course index to see everything you learn. It is definitely the most complete Programme on this subject that exists in the world, offered in just 11 days in the Himalayan country. It prepares the therapist with all the necessary tools to offer Healing Sound sessions, as well as the personal work involved in this course.

For those of us who give this training it is a gift, for all the content we offer and for the time it takes to learn. Those who learn this course are trained with enough tools to work with Sound to other people in a complete way. This training is not an introductory course or the first level of a longer one, but we condense all possible knowledge in the teachings of these 11 days.

The 2023 group brought together people from Germany, France, USA, Macedonia, Cuba, or Spain... The maximum number of people per group is only 10 people. When the group is full, the registrations are closed. For March 2024 two editions have been prepared: one in English and one with a Spanish translator.

For half a year after the Course there will be monthly online tutorials to follow up and clarify doubts and questions.

An accredited Diploma of Training in the Kasha Tradition is awarded at the end of the course, endorsed by the prestigious Singing Bowl Centre of Nepal.

There are 11 days of lessons during the 12 days. For each of the groups a holiday will be given which coincides with:

- Group 1 (in English): 8 March, Shiva Ratri Festivity, the day dedicated to Shiva which is celebrated so much in Nepal night and day.

- Group 2 (in English): 24 March, Holi, the Festival of Colour, a day to celebrate in the streets of Kathmandu.

"Inner Sound & Full Moon" Retreat (AUSTRIA) July 27-30

"INNER SOUND & FULL MOON" RETREAT

Singing Bowl Training 

From 27. - 30. July 2023

FULLY BOOKED

*COMPLETE*

This year 2023 the "Inner Sound and Full Moon" Retreat will take place in Sankt Lorenzen / Murau in Styria, Austria. We take advantage of the energy of the next full moon to live an inner experience through sound. During the 4 days of the retreat you will learn healing techniques with Tibetan Singing Bowls, for yourself and to be able to help others through the Healing Sound.


The teaching is accompanied in this edition of Murau with some yogic, meditative and breathing practices. The Moon, in waxing energy during the days of the Retreat, accompanies us close to being full and we also synchronise the lunation of the days of the Retreat with the position of the Nakshatras, or Lunar Mansions. The Mansions that the Moon will occupy from July 27-30 assist us in purpose of the gathering.

Purpose:

As the name of the Retreat says, we unite planetary synchronisation with the experience of sound, both external and internal. The different practices synchronise us with the Moon; and Sound helps us to understand the Silence, and thus ourselves.


We focus more on the "Ahata" sounds and how to use them with our Self. Through the Tibetan Singing Bowls you will learn techniques to work on your own Self: aura cleansing, energetic alignment of the different levels of the Self, unblocking of chakras, sound meditation technique, protection work, pattern correction, and more techniques. These same techniques are also learned to be used in private sessions with other people and to help them in their process. At the same time other techniques such as energetic cleaning of rooms, houses, or working with elements such as Fire or Water and how to energise them are also learned...


The transformative work on one's own Self and the training to be able to start helping others are the two main objectives of this Retreat. Another strong point of this Retreat is to learn the technique by which you discover what your natural tone of voice is, which will help you among other things to develop the power of your voice with Tibetan Singing Bowls, or to chant mantras in the right tone and other ways of activating energy through sound. All this through moon synchronisation and the power of the Healing Sound of Tibetan Singing Bowls.

Here is the main topics about Healing Sound you will learn in this Retreat, but in this next Index is missing some other topics:

 

For Saturday we designed a special Masterclass, for teaching you how to work with groups and the Singing Bowls. This information is especially beneficial for Yoga teachers and pople interested to offer Sound Baths and Singing Bowl Concerts, Guided Meditations, etc. 

Here is the link to see what you will learn during the Masterclass on Saturday: click here to see or download the Master Class Program.

Where it is held:

The setting in which this Retreat is held is the most authentic and natural. A house in the small village near Murau: Sankt Lorenzen (click here for Google Maps). It is possible to stay in the house or to stay in a nearby Guest House.

When the Retreat is held:

When we speak of Astrology and lunar synchronisation we do so from the point of view of Vedic Astrology or Jyotisha, not in terms of Western Astrology. During the days of the Retreat the moon will be in unique positions for the experience of the Retreat: learning, new horizons, exploring ourselves through sound, developing intuition and responsibility, and for going deep into the roots of issues....

All this takes place from Thursday 27 July, when the moon enters the Vishakha Nakshatra which invites purposeful change, until Sunday 30 with the Moon in Moola.

Entrevista/Interview [ESP-ENG]

 

[ENGLISH READ BELOW]

 

Hace dos días tuve el honor y placer de ser entrevistado por un medio digital de mi tierra. Os dejo aquí lo que fue la entrevista:

click aquí para leerla en español

 

 [ENGLISH READ HERE]

 

Two days ago I had the honour and pleasure of being interviewed by a digital media from my land. Here you have the interview translated into English:

 

On this occasion, this section of "La Comarca y sus gentes" becomes a traveller. So we propose you to pack your bags, to load them with enthusiasm and to travel with us to two places unknown to most Europeans: India and Nepal.

It is commonplace, isn't it, that when an inhabitant of this beautiful region of Calatayud visits a place in Spain or abroad, he or she usually meets a neighbour, a fellow citizen or a local person during his or her stay. There are not many of us, but we like to travel and get to know new places.

And we can find locals anywhere in the world, as in this case, in our hypothetical trip to Nepal we can find an exceptional guide who will show us not the best known of these distant lands but, possibly, the essence of two areas as far away as unknown to the Spanish: Nepal and India. And that local is none other than Óscar, who with his small company "QdeCuenco" invites you to show you the essence of life.

With a degree in History, versatile, enterprising, non-conformist and a long etcetera of adjectives that we could include, he is currently working professionally as a "Sound Therapist" and "Vedic Astrologer". Of course, very far from traditional trades or jobs that we all know.

To be able to dedicate himself to these facets, Oscar carried out 5 years of apprenticeship with the most important Masters of Sound in Nepal; 3 years of Kinesiology and since 2020 studying Vedic Astrology with a Nepalese guru, and two Masters in India.

Vedic Astrology is known as the traditional astrology of India and dates back to the ancient Vedic culture around 3000 BC. The Sanskrit term used for Vedic Astrology is Jyotish, meaning "light", or Jyotisha Shastra meaning "the science of light".

In Vedic astrology, which is practised in India, the most commonly observed sign is not the Sun but the Moon sign, a star that does not refer to the ego but to the way we look at life. This detail, which is immediately obvious, is only one of the many differences between Western and Vedic astrology.

International Course of Tibetan Singing Bowls:

Óscar first visited Nepal in 2010 and since then shares his life between India, Nepal and Spain. "I came for the first time in 2010 to learn the Hatha Yoga technique in India; and to Nepal to initiate myself as a disciple of Santa Ratna Shakya, the most renowned Tibetan Singing Bowls Master in the world. With the latter I obtained my Master's Degree in 2015, after visiting Nepal every year since 2010 to learn with him in individual classes, face to face".

It is not just about visiting, living or doing work in a particular place, but about imbibing all the sensations that this land has to offer. "In recent years I have spent more time in Nepal than in Spain. I am immensely involved in various projects: my training in Vedic Astrology, collaboration with some NGO's, I have spent time in Buddhist Monasteries, and now I am directing the most ambitious international Tibetan Singing Bowls Course that brings together the best Sound Masters. These are some of the things I do in Nepal.

All related to the world of sound, therapy and Tibetan Singing Bowls as Oscar tells us. "I teach Sound Therapy techniques, and I carry out Astral Chart Readings. I also help people by teaching Meditation. As I tell you, in Nepal I run the "International Course of Tibetan Singing Bowls" which brings together the best Sound Masters in the world. The March 2023 edition has been attended by students from Germany, Great Britain, France, Spain, Cuba, Macedonia and the United States...".

Partnerships that have to learn from each other:

In this long journey and these periods of time away from the comfort zone he might have had in Spain, personal relationships and spiritual richness also help him to continue growing, because the differences between European and Indian society are many and varied. "Concepts such as time, life, death, love, family, money, the future... are completely different from the parameters we have in the West. I could tell you anecdotes that are sometimes hard to believe here. There are friends who tell me to write a book.

The contrast is very strong. I think both societies have to learn from each other, but here in Europe we still have a lot to learn in human terms. There I am often told that I come from a rich country, and I reply that they are really the ones who are rich: although you can find everything, the easiest and most general thing is to find humble people with a pure heart, families who open the door of their home without knowing you, who always give you a smile, who offer what little they have and share it...".

Talking to Oscar, the first thing one can learn is that, as he himself states, "another world is possible. Another world different from the one we know in Western society; another way of relating to the environment and to our own Self. To understand that we can live differently. To see in perspective my roots, my origins and to be aware of how they condition me when it comes to feeling, thinking and acting".

To India to meet the Tibetan Singing Bowls Masters and collaborating in a centre for blind people and an orphanage.

The adventure began for him in 2010, "who was then my partner in life proposed me to go to India in 2010, and I added Nepal to the trip because I wanted to educate myself with the best Tibetan Singing Bowls Master and live for a while in two Buddhist Monasteries. It was almost half a year of travelling. Also since then we both volunteered in an orphanage, and then I volunteered after in a centre for blind people. I repeated that experience for years. Today those kids are little men and women, and those blind people are very close friends.

Religions and society:

Learning to differentiate religion from spirituality is for Óscar something key in his training and in his daily life, "as in any society, religion serves as a means of control and subjugation. Religion, which is always linked to power, enslaves. Spirituality, on the other hand, liberates. It is necessary to differentiate between the two concepts.

Historically in India and Nepal many spiritual teachers have emerged. They do not teach dogmas, but invite to an active and personal practice of self-knowledge. I have had the good fortune or Karma to learn with some of those who descend from very ancient lineages.”

In these long stays, knowledge, learning, solidarity and the possibility of being able to offer travellers visions different from those of the big tours, personal relationships must also be added. "Since my first trip to both countries, I have maintained a sincere and deep friendship with two families: Shookur in South India, and with the Khadgi family in Nepal. I can say that I have family in both countries, and I feel that their home is my home. I have a home there. Also important to me is the relationship with my teachers. Whether my learning time with them is over or not, I always visit them at their home.”

Since 2010, he has been visiting India and Nepal every year for several months. Every year with the exception of 2021, when for obvious reasons it was not possible to travel. Even in the hard months of the Covid, Óscar was in Nepal. "During 2020 I spent nine months in Nepal, I didn't want to go back when the European borders were closed because of COVID. There I was immersed in my practice of Yoga, meditation and learning Vedic Astrology. I also collaborated with an NGO cooking for people made vulnerable by that situation. As I said, I have collaborated with an orphanage and a centre for blind people, but since 2017 I have been collaborating with the NGO "Familia de Hetauda". It is an organisation run by a good Spanish friend of mine, educating children with functional diversity (Autism, Down's Syndrome, etc)".

 

What do you offer to travellers who want to get to know these countries?

There are 2-week trips in which he shows South of India, or Nepal. He does it from a personal perspective, almost like a trip among friends. He teaches his own Nepal, his own India, his places, his friends, he introduces you to his Masters, you can practice Yoga, his favourite restaurants, his secret places, a different and attractive trip.

This is the summary of the activity of this traveller, non-conformist, with a vision of life that may seem very particular to us, although it is possibly just different and above all much more spiritual.

If you want to know more about India and Nepal, we invite you to find out more through the trips that Óscar prepares throughout the year on his blog:

México a las 15:48h

Será un momento ideal para dirigirse a la deidad Shiva mediante Mantras, Rituales, Poojas o cualquier otro tipo de conexión que tengas. Ello se debe a que es una de las 12 noches del año que corresponden a cada uno de los penútimos días lunares de cada mes lunar, denominadas “Masik Shivaratri” que en esta ocasión coincide con el Equinoccio. Os dejo al final del escrito algún Mantra relacionado con Shiva.

Este mes lunar se llama “Paush” y terminará con la Luna Nueva del 23 de diciembre. Aquí en India el momento exacto de Luna Nueva se dará a las 15:47h, por lo que los horarios para la Luna Nueva en España y Latinoamércia quedan así:

España: 11:17h AM

Europa (GMT+1) igual: 11:17

Chile, Uruguay, Argentina: 7:17h AM

Perú: 5:17h AM

México: 4:17h AM

Se dan dos composiciones planetarias que son muy auspiciosas, y que por ser algo técnicas las explico en un “Apéndice final” sólo para quienes quieran conocerlas, pero que os indico a continuación como momentos muy auspiciosos a nivel planetario:

India: desde el 21 de diciembre a las 8:33h AM, hasta el 22 de diciembre a las 06:33h

España y Europa GMT+1: desde el 21 de diciembre, a las 4:03 AM hasta las 2:03h AM del 22 de diciembre.

Argentina, Chile y Uruguay: desde las 0:03 AM a las 22:03h del 21 de diciembre.

Perú: desde las 22:03h del 20 de diciembre, a las 20:03h del 21 de diciembre.

México: desde las 21:03 del 20 de diciembre, a las 19:03h del 21 de diciembre.

Estos intervalos de tiempo que habéis leído son muy auspiciosos para iniciar actividades. Os recomiendo también venerar la figura o deidad del Sol, especialmente a quienes tengáis al Sol como Planeta del Alma (Practicar en Yoga el Surya Namaskar, ofrendas, y ver Mantras a continuación)

MANTRAS:

Shiva Mantras:

Aum Namo Shivaya

Aum Namo Bhagavate Rudraya

Y el que más recomiendo y a veces indico que os aprendáis de memoria, el llamado “Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra” que dice así:

 

Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushti Vardhanam

Urvarukam-iva Bandhanan Mrityor Mukshiya Maamritat

En sánscrito:

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् |

उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान् मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात् ॥

 

Para mí este último es el más poderoso. Aunque otro muy poderoso es el Shiva Dhyan Mantra, que os facilito a continuación:

Karacharana Kritam Vaa Kaya Jam Karmajam Vaa

Shravannayanjam Vaa Maansam Vaa Paradham

Vihitam Vihitam Vaa Sarv Metat Kshamasva

Jay Jay Karunaabdhe Shri Mahadev Shambho

Mantras para la Luna Nueva:

Mantra de la Luna:

Aum Chandraya Namaha

Mantra de Venus para India, España, Chile, Argentina y Uruguay (porque la luz solar del viernes ya ha amanecido):

Aum Shukraya Namaha

Mantra de Júpiter para México y Perú (porque la luz solar del viernes aún no ha amanecido):

Aum Guruvae Namaha

Mantras en relación al Sol:

Aum Suryaya Namaha

  

Aum Hrim Hrim Surya Om

* Recuerda que si has realizado el Curso “Uso Práctico de tus Mantras Personales” puedes utilizar los Mantras Planetarios Personales que se asocian a cada planeta que indico.

Espero que todas estas indicaciones puedan ser útiles para que este evento astrológico y astronómico sea fructífero y puedas aprovechar su energía y esta etapa del año que culmina en el Equinoccio de Junio.

APÉNDICE FINAL:

Aquí os explico a quienes queráis conocer el por qué de los periodos auspiciosos que he señalado en un apartado de este artículo:

Cuando la Nakshatra Anuradha está ocupada por la Luna en miércoles y jueves se da una situación llamada “Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga”. Ello se da en los horarios que he descrito arriba.

In this article I provide you with the astrological keys to enter with the best foot in the new season of the year: winter at the North Pole, summer at the South Pole. In it I offer the Solstice and New Moon schedules for December 23rd, the Mantras and the necessary information to help you in this new stage. As always, I speak in terms of Indian Vedic Astrology (Jyotisha).

I remind you that today 21st December marks the beginning of Winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and Summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Today is the Solstice. I give you the precise and exact moment of the change of Season. You know my typical recommendations: Meditation, be in the Silence, and if you have your Ritual, carry it out.

 

SCHEDULES:

 

Spain and Europe GMT+1: at 22:48h

Chile, Uruguay and Argentina at 18:48h

Peru at 16:48h

Mexico at 15:48h

It will be an ideal time to address the deity Shiva through Mantras, Rituals, Poojas or any other kind of connection you have. This is because it is one of the 12 nights of the year that correspond to each of the penultimate lunar days of each lunar month, called "Masik Shivaratri" which on this occasion coincides with the Equinox. I leave at the end of the writing some Mantra related to Shiva.

This lunar month is called "Paush" and will end with the New Moon on December 23rd. Here in India the exact time of the New Moon will be at 15:47h, so the times for the New Moon in Spain and Latin America are as follows:

Spain: 11:17h AM

Europe (GMT+1) same: 11:17 am

Chile, Uruguay, Argentina: 7:17h AM

Peru: 5:17h AM

Mexico: 4:17h AM

There are two planetary compositions that are very auspicious, and because they are somewhat technical I explain them in a "Final Appendix" only for those who want to know them, but I indicate below as very auspicious moments at the planetary level:

India: from the 21st of December at 8:33h AM, until the 22nd of December at 06:33h.

Europe GMT+1: from 21 December at 4:03 AM until 2:03 AM on 22 December.

Argentina, Chile and Uruguay: from 0:03 AM to 22:03 AM on 21 December.

Peru: from 10:03 PM on 20 December to 8:03 PM on 21 December.

Mexico: from 21:03 on 20 December to 19:03 on 21 December.

These time intervals that you have read about are very auspicious for initiating activities. I recommend you also to venerate the figure or deity of the Sun, especially those of you who have the Sun as your Soul Planet (Practice in Yoga the Surya Namaskar, offerings, and see Mantras below).

MANTRAS:

Shiva Mantras:

 

Aum Namo Shivaya

Aum Namo Bhagavate Rudraya

And the one that I recommend the most and sometimes indicate you to learn by heart, the so called "Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra" which goes like this:

Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushti Vardhanam

Urvarukam-iva Bandhanan Mrityor Mukshiya Maamritat

 

In sanscrit:

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् |

उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान् मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात् ॥

 

For me the latter is the most powerful. But another very powerful one is the Shiva Dhyan Mantra, which I give you below:

Karacharana Kritam Vaa Kaya Jam Karmajam Vaa

Shravannayanjam Vaa Maansam Vaa Paradham

Vihitam Vihitam Vaa Sarv Metat Kshamasva

Jay Jay Karunaabdhe Shri Mahadev Shambho

Mantras for the New Moon and Solstice time:

 

Moon Mantra:

Aum Chandraya Namaha

Mantra of Venus for UK, Austria, India, Spain, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay (because Friday's sunlight has already dawned):

Aum Shukraya Namaha

Jupiter Mantra for Mexico and Peru (because Friday's sunlight has not yet dawned):

Aum Guruvae Namaha

 

Mantras in relation to the Sun:

Aum Suryaya Namaha

Aum Hrim Hrim Surya Om

* Remember that if you have taken the Course "Practical Use of your Personal Mantras" you can use the Personal Planetary Mantras that are associated to each planet that I indicate.

I hope that all these indications can be useful for this astrological and astronomical event to be fruitful and you can take advantage of its energy and this stage of the year that culminates in the June Equinox.

FINAL APPENDIX:

Here I explain to those of you who want to know why the auspicious periods I have pointed out in a section of this article:

When the Nakshatra Anuradha is occupied by the Moon on Wednesday and Thursday there is a situation called "Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga". This occurs at the times I have described above.
