Dhwani Mantra

Pre-Basic Course

Q1
What is the difference between small, medium, and large bowls in the Pre-Basic Series Course? How should I choose?

The main difference between the small, medium, and large bowls in the Pre-Basic Series Course lies in the "frequency" and "vibration" of the bowls. Different frequencies have various effects on the human body. The small bowl has a higher frequency, making it ideal for enhancing focus and relieving pressure in the head and eyes. The large bowl, on the other hand, has a deeper, more stable frequency, with longer-lasting vibrations, making it suitable for releasing tension and relaxing a stiff body.

Both small, medium, and large bowls offer excellent self-healing benefits, so you can choose based on your preferred frequency or your current budget!

Q2
Does the Pre-Basic Series course provide a certificate?
The Basic Small Bowl and Basic Medium Bowl courses do not issue certificates. However, upon completing the Basic Large Bowl course, students will receive a Certificate of Completion. This certification allows them not only to continue their personal self-healing practice but also to work with simple sound healing cases.
Q3
Do I need to start with the basic course if I want to become a sound healer?
The basic series courses are designed for "home self-healing" using single-bowl techniques. If your goal is to become a professional sound healer, you can directly enroll in the 'Beginner Sound Healer Training Course' without needing to start with the basic series.
Q4
Is there any overlap between the "Pre-Basic Series Course" and the "Sound Healer Training Series" ?
The "Pre-Basic Series Course" is a home self-healing course focused on the single-bowl technique, while the "Sound Healer Training Series" is a professional training course that teaches harmonic techniques using three to seven bowls. There is no overlap in the content of these courses. You can choose the course based on your learning goals and budget.

Training Course

Q1
Is it possible to join the "Beginner Sound Healer Training Course" without any prior experience with singing bowls?

Yes, absolutely! In the "Beginner Sound Healer Training Course", the instructor will teach from the very basics and guide participants step by step to master the techniques of using singing bowls. So even if you have no prior experience, you'll be able to follow along and learn effectively!

Q2
Do I need to have a good sense of pitch to learn singing bowls? Is it possible to learn without any knowledge of music theory?
The techniques for using single bowls and the three-bowl methods taught in the beginner sound healer course don’t require much sense of pitch, and you can easily learn even without any knowledge of music theory. In the intermediate and advanced courses, you will start to explore the relationship between frequencies and chakras, and the courses will progressively train your ability to identify frequencies and provide you with the necessary professional knowledge.
Q3
Is there any overlap between the "Pre-Basic Series Course" and the "Sound Healer Training Series" ?
The "Pre-Basic Series Course" is a home self-healing course focused on the single-bowl technique, while the "Sound Healer Training Series" is a professional training course that teaches harmonic techniques using three to seven bowls. There is no overlap in the content of these courses. You can choose the course based on your learning goals and budget.
Q4
Does the Sound Healer Training Series include self-healing techniques?
No, it doesn’t. The Sound Healer Training Series is a professional program focused on using three to seven bowls with overtone techniques to provide sound healing sessions for clients. Therefore, the course content does not include self-healing practices.
If you’re interested in learning sound healing techniques for daily meditation and self-healing, please refer to the Basic Series courses.
Q5
Is there a discount if I sign up for both the beginner and intermediate training courses together?

For each course in the Sound Healer Training Series, participants must pass an assessment after completing the course in order to receive a certification. This is because the intermediate course involves significantly more complex techniques compared to the beginner course.

If you try to complete all the courses in a short time without first mastering the three-bowl technique from the beginner course, it won’t be beneficial at all. Additionally, this assessment system is designed to prevent the practice of buying certifications without proper training. Therefore, Dhwani Mantra Singing Bowls does not offer any discounts for signing up for multiple courses at once. We hope you can understand and appreciate this approach.

About Certification

Q1
Does Mantra’s certification have international recognition?

Singing bowl sound healing is a highly flexible and adaptable form of sound therapy, and there is currently no unified international standard or certification system for it. Once sound healers have mastered the basics, they can develop their own unique healing style based on their experience and creativity. Therefore, all sound healer certifications are issued by individual institutions, and there is no internationally recognized certification standard.

Dhwani Mantra's certifications are jointly issued by institutions in Taiwan and Nepal. After passing the assessment for the beginner sound healer training course, you will receive the [Taiwan Mantra Instructor Certificate]. Upon completing the intermediate and advanced sound healer training courses and passing the instructor’s assessment, you will receive the [Taiwan Mantra Instructor Certificate], followed by the [Nepal International Instructor Certificate].

Q2
What is the certification level system for Mantra Singing Bowls?

Dhwani Mantra issues four levels of certification:

  • Pre-Basic Level – Certificate of Completion for the Basic Large Bowl Technique
  • Beginner Level – Certified Basic Sound Therapist
  • Intermediate Level – Certified Intermediate Sound Therapist
  • Advanced Level – Certified Advanced Sound Therapist

Client Work: Allowed at Pre-Basic Level and Beginner Level Teaching
Courses: Permitted at Intermediate Level and Advanced Level

Q3
Can I start teaching after receiving the certification?
Students who complete the "Dhwani Mantra Intermediate Sound Healer Training Course" and pass the assessment to obtain the certification can start offering classes to the public.
However, we do not encourage students to aim solely for teaching right after completing the course. Sound healing is a practice that requires time to accumulate experience and deepen understanding. While beginners may have learned the basic knowledge after completing the course, becoming a qualified sound healer requires continuous practice, reflection, and further study. Starting to teach too early may cause students to overlook the importance of improving their own skills and professional development, which could affect the quality of teaching and healing results. We encourage students to solidify their foundation, gradually build confidence and professionalism, and eventually serve others in their best capacity.

About Singing Bowls

Q1
I don’t have a singing bowl. Do I need to buy one before the class?

The instructor will provide practice bowls for free during the class, allowing students to experience the differences in frequencies firsthand. We recommend waiting until after the class, once you have a better understanding of the frequencies, to choose a singing bowl that best suits you based on your personal experience.

Q2
Do I need to purchase singing bowls to join the course?

While it’s not mandatory, singing bowl sound healing is a skill that requires consistent practice to master. Without regular practice after the course, the techniques you learn may quickly fade, making the investment less worthwhile. We recommend evaluating your financial situation and personal needs before deciding whether to join the course and whether to purchase your own singing bowls afterward.

Q3
I already have my own singing bowl, but I'm not sure if it's suitable for the course.
You can bring your bowl to the class, and the instructor will personally check it for you. Alternatively, you can schedule a session at the studio before the class to have the instructor evaluate it.
Q4
I already have one singing bowl. Is it possible for the instructor to help me match it with two more bowls suitable for the beginner course?

In principle, it’s possible! However, matching bowls depends on timing and availability, so we can't guarantee an immediate match—it may take some time. We hope you can understand this in advance. If you’d like, you can schedule a session at the studio, and the instructor can assist you with this.

Q5
Are the large, medium, and small bowls used in the Basic Series Course the same as the three bowls in the Beginner Sound Healer Course?

Not at all! The medium bowl in the Basic Series has a diameter of approximately Ø17–20 cm, and the small bowl is around Ø12–16 cm. The three bowls used in the Beginner Sound Healer Training Course consist of large bowls, with diameters around Ø22, 24, and 26–28 cm.

Q6
Does the studio offer singing bowl rental services?

Currently, we do not provide singing bowl rentals. The sound quality of a singing bowl highly depends on the integrity of the bowl itself. Any collision or friction during  transport or use can cause noise or damage to the sound quality—issues that are often irreversible. For this reason, we only provide practice bowls during the courses to ensure that every student can learn with instruments in optimal condition.

Others

Q1
After completing the Beginner Sound Healer Training, will there be group practice sessions?

Yes. To support students in successfully obtaining their certification, they may attend 4 Review Classes (both in-person and online) free of charge within 6 months after course completion. These Review Classes are not a repeat of the entire course, but rather group practice sessions where students perform hands-on exercises under the teacher’s guidance.

Q2
What are the exam requirements?

The assessment is based on the specific techniques taught during the course. To pass, you must demonstrate the assigned techniques smoothly and within the given time.

Q3
How is the assessment conducted?
You can choose either an in-person assessment or an online assessment based on your needs. The in-person assessment is held at our studio in Neihu, Taipei—please refer to the student group announcements for available dates and register accordingly.
For the online assessment, you may plan according to your own schedule. Once you are ready, simply record a complete video of the assigned techniques and email it to us. Teacher Ray will personally review and evaluate your submission.
Q4
Is there a deadline for the assessment?

Yes, you must complete the assessment within one year after finishing the course in order to retain your eligibility for certification.

Q5
For Retake Training, can returning students choose any course? What is the cost?

The term “returning student” refers to those retaking the same course, so Retake Training is only applicable to the identical course previously attended. Returning students are eligible for a discounted rate—please refer to each course description for details on pricing.
