From Inner Dance to Brain Waves: A True Story of How EBMastery Started

A few years back, my wife and I were restless—searching for something different, something beyond the usual grind. We’d heard whispers of alternative healing at Koh Phangan and stumbled across Samma Karuna, a place exploring awakening through Tantra and Breathwork. Their program was a vibrant mix of ancient wisdom and modern practice—Tantra to reconnect with love and energy, Breathwork to release old baggage and tap into inner peace. It felt like a call we couldn’t ignore, and while there we signed up for extremely popular “Inner Dance” session."

What happened next changed everything.

That session was electric. Inner Dance, as we learned on the day isn’t dance in the usual sense—it’s a sonic journey, a surrender to sound and vibration that shifts you into a trance-like state. You lie down, let curated music and sound of Tibetan Singing Bowls wash over you, and your body responds—sometimes trembling, sometimes still—unlocking memories, emotions, even healing. Afterward, we sat with the trainer, a passionate Australian expat who lit up talking about frequencies. “Nikola Tesla was obsessed with them,” he said, “experimenting with how they move energy.” I felt that session’s echo in my bones—powerful, undeniable, like a wake-up call I couldn’t shake.

The Inner Dance sparked a quest. I dove into Tibetan singing bowls —those seven-metal wonders from Nepal. I trained multiple times in Chiang Mai, Thailand, shipped handmade bowls from Nepal to home, and devoured free time to learn about their vibrations.

Being a science guy, I needed to know why—why did these frequencies hit so deep? Tibetan and Indian healing traditions spoke of balancing energies, but clinical trials on sound bowls were scarce. I zeroed in on “Brain Adjustment Sequence”—specific routine I wove into my sessions, a must-have in my playbook. I explored how bowls create binaural beats in alpha, theta, and gamma ranges, Googling those terms obsessively. Google kept nudging me toward the term Neurofeedback. I resisted—months of stubborn “nope”—until curiosity won.

When I finally looked into Neurofeedback I was floored. The science, the parallels—it was like Tibetan healing had a modern cousin.

Mode of Action: The Brainwave Bridge

Here’s where it gets wild. Tibetan singing bowls brain adjustment work their magic through sound—vibrations that ripple into your brainwaves. High beta waves (12-30 Hz) fuel that tense, overactive mind, but the bowls’ resonance can dial them down, coaxing alpha waves (8-12 Hz) for calm or theta waves (4-8 Hz) for deep relaxation. Some even hint at gamma waves (30-100 Hz), tied to insight and clarity. Neurofeedback also focusses on brainwaves, just with the powerful technology behind. Machine tracks your brainwaves live, teaching you to observe shifts from stressed beta to soothing alpha or theta.

Both bowls and neurofeedback are like tuning forks—ancient or modern, they realign your mind’s rhythm to ease tension and lift your spirit.

Healing Echoes: Bowls Meet Neurofeedback

The similarities stunned me. Both Tibetan bowls and early-stage Neurofeedback lean on entrainment—syncing your system to a steady pulse. With bowls, it’s the hum of bronze; with linear neurofeedback it’s tailored states. They’re non-invasive, trusting your brain’s knack for self-regulation—no drugs, just resonance. Bowls blanket you in sound, balancing your whole nervous system, while neurofeedback zeroes in, tweaking specific patterns—like calming anger with less beta.

And to my professional embarrassment - clinical trial results on safety and efficacy of Neurofeedback across the range of cognitive and emotional domains were so extensive that I couldn’t believe I didn’t come across them before.

I compared Neurofeedback results with numerous pharmaceutical and natural medicines. Then I carefully reviewed multiple different Neurofeedback approaches and systems, to select by far the most advanced Neurotechnology - Dynamical Neurofeedback(R) - and got extensively trained on it.

A Journey That Keeps Unfolding

At Executive Brain Mastery, we now see Tibetan Bowls and Neurofeedback dance together beautifully. Some of our clients start with Tibetan singing bowls to unwind after a busy day and to feel a power of vibrations and frequencies, then slide into the Dynamical Neurofeedback(R) to lock in that calm. It’s holistic harmony—sound meets science.

That Inner Dance session wasn’t just a moment—it was a spark. It led us from a Thai retreat to bowls humming in our Sydney studio, then to Dynamical Neurofeedback’s cutting-edge embrace. I still feel its impact—less a memory, more a shift in my core.

What I learned during this journey is that: Life’s too precious to stay out of sync!
