Sound Bath Sessions 022: Manuela Yeung

This was the second recording of Manuela Yeung at her studio in Lai Chi Kok.

Manuela laid her bowls in a large triangle formation on the floor and said that for her individual sessions, her client would lie in the middle of the shape while she performed her sound bath. I thought it would be interesting to hear a sound bath from the client's perspective and placed my stereo microphone on the floor where the head would be. The result is a very immersive, intimate sound bath with a great sense of space and distance. Her movement between both sides of the body adds a dynamic, 3-dimensional feel to the performance.

Manuela also contributes her time at her local community center where she performs sound baths to the elderly community to help them with their anxiety and pain.
