Sound Bath Sessions 201: Aoi, Chie, & Kaori

After Sayuri's recording in the morning, I ate some lunch and met Aoi, Chie, and Kaori at their studio in the Nakameguro area. It was a small space near the river that they exclusively used for their sound healing sessions. They are friends and often work together for sound healing sessions.

When I walked into the room, I knew this was going to be an interesting session. If Sayuri's sessions were minimalist, this was a maximalist session… times 3. All of them had a full set of singing bowls (16 bowls each) in front of them. Each set of bowls was plated with a different metal: copper, silver, and brass. It looked amazing.

Aoi was on the left, Chie was in the middle, and Kaori was on the right. It was a wide stereo image in a small space.

This is a 40-minute masterpiece. Such a calming chaos, like a heartbeat in the middle of a body. The warm glow of pulsing sound envelops you. Parts of a whole. A wonderful experience.
