It all started on a family trip to McLeod Ganj<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an early morning visit to His Holiness the Dalai Lama\u2019s residence<\/strong>, we stepped out into a bustling street alive with color, calm, and the familiar clinking of Tibetan prayer bells<\/strong>, singing bowls<\/strong>, and prayer flags<\/strong> fluttering in the breeze. The air felt spiritually charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was simply walking along, soaking it all in\u2014when something pulled me toward a small roadside vendor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There, nestled between other souvenirs, sat a singing bowl<\/strong> that seemed to call out<\/em> to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vendor noticed my gaze, picked it up with reverence, and placed it gently in my hands. I struck it lightly with the mallet\u2014and something clicked<\/em> inside me. A deep, calming vibration resonated in my chest. I had never experienced anything quite like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, he rimmed the bowl and handed it back to me. I copied his movement\u2014and the melody that emerged was divine<\/strong>. Even my husband was mesmerized by the sound. He tried, but the bowl didn\u2019t sing for him the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took it as a sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This bowl wasn\u2019t just a souvenir. It was a soul call<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Mantelpiece to Mindful Practice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I brought that singing bowl home to Mumbai. It lived on our mantelpiece for a while, occasionally played when I felt called. Around that time, I had casually started my Instagram page : @gmantra.in<\/a> – where I shared gratitude quotes and affirmations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day, on a whim, I uploaded a short reel of me rimming the singing bowl<\/strong>.
My cousin Uma from London messaged me instantly:
“Why don\u2019t you facilitate sound baths? They\u2019ll be so calming.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound Bath? I had never even heard the term. But something about it intrigued me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discovering My First Sound Healing Course<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After some reading, Googling, and lots of scrolling, I found my way to IASH.in<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 the International Academy of Sound Healing. I connected with a wonderful teacher Poonam, from Pune, and one phone call later, my heart knew this was the path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I signed up for the Level 1 Sound Healing Certification Course<\/strong> \u2014 a 2-day full-day immersion<\/strong> where we worked with 4 Himalayan Singing Bowls<\/strong> and a Tingsha<\/strong>. That was my proper entry into this powerful healing modality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practicing During the Pandemic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Soon after, I was facilitating online sound healing therapy sessions<\/strong>, helping people relax, unwind, and reset. Even in the middle of the pandemic, healing could happen\u2014through a screen, through sound, through intention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As my confidence grew, I enrolled in Level 2<\/strong> with Satya Sir from Ahmedabad<\/strong>, a 5-day full-day intensive<\/strong> where I deepened my knowledge, practiced with chakra bowls<\/strong>, and began understanding energy alignment through frequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I\u2019ve Learned: How to Begin Your Sound Healing Journey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you feel called to the sound healing path<\/strong>, here are some suggestions from my experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Follow your curiosity<\/strong> \u2013 listen to your inner pull.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Engage with the top experts<\/strong> on social media \u2013 watch lives, videos, sound sessions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Talk to facilitators<\/strong> \u2013 many are happy to guide you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Explore various sound healing certification options<\/strong> \u2013 see which course resonates with your energy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Trust your instincts<\/strong> \u2013 this is a vibrational field. Your intuition is your compass.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
