Sound Bath Sessions 187: Alex Lo
Alex Lo is the founder of Scientific Singing Bowl. Alex's approach to sound healing is a more scientific approach to teaching singing bowls. A psychology major, he didn't connect with the spiritual side of sound baths so he began learning how the different frequencies can affect human emotions. He is also a laughing yoga teacher in Hong Kong holding public sessions at least once a month for kids, adults, elderly, and disabled. He says that this helps them not only mentally but also physically, as some of the attendees are not mobile. We recorded at his studio in San Po Kong and is relatively quiet with little nearby construction. Despite his calculated approach to understanding his bowls, his style is improvised. He often plays with a bowl in his hand which he strikes then rotates in a circle up and down to make the sound more lively and dynamic. This track used higher tones played in a rising scale.
