Deep breathing, meditation and mantra have all been medically proven to decrease pain, anxiety, depression, stress and even migraine frequency!  This is because all it takes is three deep breaths to boost your vagal tone and support your cardiac and brain function, even lower your blood pressure. 

I offer these healing chimes as a way to encourage taking deep breaths throughout the day in my Trauma Resiliency and Recovery Class.  But you don't have to take that class to benefit from the pain reduction and stress reduction of deep breathing. 

This chime is tuned to be resonant with the healing earth's energy and is suspended above a wooded base for a clear resonating tone, and a rich, long lasting sound.  

Hitting the chime and focusing on the sound while you take several deep breaths is literally all you need to do to make a measurable change to your vagal tone, improve the signaling to all your internal organs that rely on the vagus nerve to function (heart, lungs, GI tract and more.)

I know I use my chime throughout my day, every day, as it sits right on my desk.  I'd love to send a chime to you so you can feel the benefits yourself!

Striking it with the included mallet creates a beautiful clear tone that lingers delicately in the air, creating an effortless focal point for meditation, breathwork, mindful eating, and daily grounding practices.

The sound itself becomes an invitation to slow down.To soften your shoulders.To lengthen your breath.To settle your attention into the present moment.

As you focus on the gentle sound of the chime while breathing slowly and grounding, you may notice:

• A calmer, quieter mind
• Greater mental clarity and focus
• Improved attention and concentration
• Decreased feelings of stress and overwhelm
• A sense of emotional balance and ease
• Deep relaxation of muscles and physical tension
• More mindful, slower breathing patterns
• Support for healthy vagal tone and nervous system regulation
• A deeper sense of presence and connection to your body

The beauty of this practice is its simplicity. There is nothing to force and nothing to achieve. Simply ring the chime… and listen until the sound disappears.

That moment of listening becomes your meditation.

Create Beautiful Rituals Throughout Your Day:

• Morning Grounding Ritual: Step outside barefoot, ring the chime, and take three slow breaths while listening to the sound fade into silence.

• Meditation on Your Grounding Mat: Begin and end your meditation with the chime, allowing the sound to gently guide your attention inward.

• Grounded Bath Soak: Keep the chime beside the tub and ring it periodically during your bath to deepen relaxation and enhance the naturally grounded water of your bath.

• Breathwork Sessions: Use each chime as a breathing cue—inhale with the rising tone and exhale as it softly dissipates.

• Midday Reset: Keep it on your desk while your feet rest on a grounding mat under your workspace. Ring it between tasks to clear mental clutter and reset your focus.

• Mindful Eating Practice: Ring before meals (or even between bites!) to transition from busy mode into rest-and-digest mode. Encourages slower, more intentional eating.

• Evening Wind-Down: End your day with a few moments of grounding and sound meditation before sleep.

• Family Connection Ritual: Invite everyone to pause, listen, and take one collective breath together.

• Gratitude Practice: Ring the chime and think of one thing you're grateful for before the final note disappears.

• Nature Meditation: Take your chime outdoors and use it as a focal point while grounding: sitting beneath a tree, watching the sunset, or looking up at the moon and stars.

Elegant, simple, and deeply calming, this meditation chime makes a meaningful gift for anyone who loves mindfulness, yoga, grounding, meditation, sound healing, or creating intentional daily rituals.  

Especially lovely when gifted with an organic grounding yoga mat!

Available as a single bar chime or a 3 bar chime, all chimes come with an included wooden mallet.
