Book Cover & Preview Text
After Mitch’s Nur's hour-long Himalayan singing bowl (HSB) session, where I experienced one of the most relaxing meditative states, as a nurse and researcher, I thought: “I wish I could measure my heart rate and blood pressure right now to see if it confirms this blissful state of mind and body.” There it was, and Brenda’s words echoed in my mind: Follow your bliss.
Learning there was a paucity of empirical qualitative or quantitative research studies examining the HSB effects, I knew what I would be researching for the next three to six years. It struck like a lightening bolt and created the charge needed to complete phase two of the doctorate. Using research skills learned from prior graduate studies at Boston College, along with having access to the great thinkers on my mentor team, I set out to prove or disprove HSB effects on the central nervous system. My doctoral research study examined blood pressure and heart rate response to HSB exposure using a traditional Western approach to study this Eastern complimentary alternative method (CAM).
