Sound Bath Sessions 107: Noel Chan

I had the pleasure of recording Noel a few weeks ago at Char yoga in Kwai Hing. She was interested in sound baths as a way to help with her stress at work and signed up for singing bowl lessons. After completing her course, she volunteered for giving a sound bath for Cancer Warriors at Char Yoga, a yoga center that caters to cancer survivors by promoting a balanced and healthier life for all individuals, especially in the mind and soul. Char yoga offers yoga, sound baths, and handicraft workshops in their studio. After giving her first session, she was invited to continue to offer sound baths in the studio for their clients. Though she is quite new, her style is quite mature and restrained. Her slow and gentle touch is easy to connect with. Placing the microphone a distance away on a stand put equal emphasis on the constant highway traffic and the bowls giving the recording a feeling of spaciousness and an immersive sense of place. This track is the second recording we did that night.
