Every instrument I use is chosen with great care and intention. Each one carries its own story, vibration, and purpose in creating a healing soundscape. To give you a sense of this process, I’d like to share the story of my Full Moon Singing Bowl and my Heart Sutra Singing Bowl, each chosen with intention and reverence.

The Full Moon Singing Bowl I work with was handcrafted in Nepal during the March 2025 Worm Moon — a full moon associated with emotional clearing, inner reflection, and spiritual transition. Unlike Western instruments, these bowls are not machine-tuned, but shaped and refined entirely by hand. This one resonates with the Third Eye Chakra, associated with the note A, with an approximate frequency range of 426–440 Hz depending on how it is played.

I received it myself on May 12th, under another full moon, which felt like a perfect alignment of cycles. (See picture on the right.) That timing marked the beginning of my own journey with this sacred instrument.

Before a bowl ever reaches a practitioner, its making begins with a blessing ceremony using marigold flowers. (See picture on the right.) When I asked about this ritual, the DharmaShop team shared a story from their visit to the artisans’ workshop in Kathmandu Valley. They noticed small piles of marigold petals on the floor and, with curiosity, asked about them. The artisans explained that before they begin their meticulous hand-hammering, carving, and tuning work, they pause to scatter marigolds in blessing. This quiet ritual honors the craft, the space, and the lineage of their work. It is a moment of peace and intention-setting before sound is ever created.

To me, this bowl is more than metal, notes, or frequency. It is a vessel of lunar energy, sacred tradition, and human devotion. Every tone it creates carries the same blessing: to help release what no longer serves, and to gently support the planting of new seeds within the body, heart, and spirit.I feel deeply honored to share its resonance in my sessions, alongside the Heart Sutra Bowl — both instruments carrying ancient wisdom into modern healing.

A sound bath is a guided energetic process, not just a sequence of sounds. The session often begins with grounding, moves through clearing and renewal, and ends with sealing and grounding again.

A sound bath works on many levels — physical, emotional, and energetic.

Everyone’s experience is unique. Some people feel calm and rejuvenated, while others may notice sensations or emotions arise as part of a natural cleansing process.

Everything that comes up is part of the body’s way of releasing what is no longer needed.

This is not an invitation to judge or analyze what you feel — simply acknowledge it.

The key is to notice, breathe, and allow it to move through.

My sessions blend intentional structure with creative flow. I include short, original compositions — pieces of music I create intuitively for each session — adding a personal touch to every experience.

• Group / Restorative – In a group sound bath, participants gather in a shared space — whether that’s a wellness studio, retreat, workplace, celebration, or private event. People simply lie down on mats or sit comfortably in chairs while waves of sound from crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, gongs, and chimes wash over them. The experience is communal yet deeply personal, guiding everyone into a state of rest, release, and renewal.

• Signature Combination – For larger groups, I sometimes combine both formats: beginning with a group relaxation, then offering short individual immersions (such as stepping into a bowl or having a bowl placed nearby) for those who wish to experience it more closely.

• One-on-One Immersive – A private session is a deeply personalized journey. Every session is unique and tailored to the individual’s needs in that moment. The journey begins gently, and even in the opening I can sense where the energy lies and how it wishes to move. From there, I create an enveloping field of sound and energy around you, working with the aura and chakras to support release and realignment. The methods and techniques unfold intuitively, allowing the energy itself to guide the process in a natural and meaningful way.

A sound bath shares similarities with meditation and restorative yoga in its ability to calm the mind and body, but it requires no effort or movement. Unlike talk therapy, it works through vibration and resonance rather than dialogue or analysis.

At times I may open a sound bath with gentle breathwork or a simple mantra to help settle the mind and body. These are invitations, not requirements — participants are free to simply listen, or to join in if the practice resonates with them. Subtle gestures, such as placing hands on the heart or belly during breathwork, may also be suggested as a way to deepen presence. Each session is guided intuitively and may unfold differently, but always with the intention of creating comfort, grounding, and openness to the sound journey.

My sound baths work with the chakras, but I don’t see them as isolated points — they are part of a larger conversation. Different traditions describe chakra relationships in different ways: some speak of pairings (such as crown with root, or solar plexus with throat), others emphasize the heart as the central bridge, while some highlight the throat as a gateway between lower and higher centers.

I honor these multiple perspectives because energy medicine is a living field of wisdom that continues to evolve. I regularly seek out teachers, communities, and research to deepen my understanding. In my sessions, I work intuitively with the chakras — listening for how they want to interact in the moment — so each person receives what is most needed for balance and renewal.
