...how it started...
It started with an invitation to join a sound therapy lesson in autum 2017. I didn’t know what to expect because I have never heard about it before, even I am living in Asia now for about 14 years. The session was a very special experience for me. Deep inside I felt the different sounds and vibrations of the singing bowls. I felt this unique sounds woke up something deep inside of me. Memories, feelings, a very deep relaxation which made it not easy for me to hold back my tears. Never experienced that feeling before. After about one hour and 15 minutes the session was done. Even I didn’t sleep, it felt like it was just an half hour session. That experience was very special and the following hours I felt very special and relaxed. Back in my “9-5 job” I lost somehow the connection to that experience, the interest and time to learn more about this fascinating singing bowl thing. More than a year after that first session I decided to join my second sound therapy session, a couple session with my girlfriend, in a newly opened sound -healing and -therapy center here on the island. That time I wasn’t too excited because I knew what will happen, so I laid down and relaxed and just enjoyed the session. Again, the hours and even the days after that session I felt so good and relaxed. A few months after that session I joined a singing bowl work shop here in Phuket where I bought my first three original himalayan singing bowls. I was so inspired by the effect of these bowls that I started reading about the history, the positive effects and much more about tibetan singing bowls. I started practicing my own sessions, with my girlfriend, friends and colleagues and of course to myself. Soon the three bowls were not enough anymore so I ordered more.... I play everyday, even I only pass the bowls I have to touch and play them for a few minutes. Since I own and use these bowls everyday I felt that something has changed. I am more calm and relaxed and the feedback of my friends after a singing bowl session is always positive. The bowls suddenly became a part of my daily life.
By the end of 2019 I finally took my chance to fly to Kathmandu/Nepal to join a singing bowl and sound healing course and receive my certification by a master, who is a 3rd generation Tibetan Singing Bowl Teacher and Sound Healer and is well known in Kathmandu because he was the first person in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal to work with Tibetan singing bowls. In the beginning of 2020 private events changed our plans unexpectedly. We decided to leave Thailand and move to the Philippines where we are currently building a Sound Therapy treatment area close to the beach in Antique -where the mountains meet the sea- together with -Beau Visage Wellness Spa- a building with a treatment room for all our equipment we have collected over the years from Nepal, Thailand and Japan. Singing bowls, tingshas, bells and healing stones & crystals from all over the world.
