The friendly Nepaliese people and the religious & cultural rich ambience made the second time visit enjoyable, even after a gap of ten years,everything seems familiar and unchanged. i felt " at home"
it was such a wonderful journey this time as i received an invaluable gift - ancient Himalaya wisdom and secrets - the tibetan singing bowl. It was always exciting to learn something new and i found this one was extraordinary.
My yoga peer , Nina recommended me to study and learn with her master - Shree Krishnan Shahi, like most of Nepaliese people , simply , friendly and warmth who lives in Kathmandu Valley's most outstanding landmark - Swoyambhu Stupa for more 2 decades and about the same span of durations ,he has been handing down this ancient secrets healing techniques from his god grandfather, a tibetan Lama.
The most interesting part of the course is to get " the intuitive sensitivity " connected with a set of seven bowls which have the interconnection with the seven energy centers ( The chakra ). Master Shree's religion is strongly influenced by tibetan buddism and his teachings stress the importance of building up positive karmic energy and intuition in working with the bowls,It was exciting to explore and experience different qualities of bowl - hand hammered and manaufactured made. By far , The hand hammered bowls give the better quality of sound and they are made of at least five different composites - mercury , brass , copper , thin and iron. They are plain in design and some are imprinted with sacred symbols and chants.
The bowls are truly a divine gift of a sound as each bowl emits heavenly soothing sound that i was loving it with just one strike on it. The sound was very different i heard from the recorded CD or Youtube. You would feel a deep and profound vibration especially when the bowls are placed in a " healing setting "near to the body. The harmonic frequency of sound become more powerful , cleansing ,purifyinig and healing.
I have been incorporating with this lovely sound relaxation into some of the restorative yoga sessions and the responses are positive and encouraging. Most of them find time passes so quickly without realizing as well as it enhances their level of relaxation. what i find the sound can bring much needed a wordless prayer for peace and calm. It is such a welcoming addition to the yoga session.
