DESCRIPTION: "Resonance of Healing: A Vocal Sound Bath Experience"
Introduction: As you enter, you’ll be welcomed by a soft, continuous drone—a gentle hum that sets the tone for the session. The space, bathed in warm light, invites relaxation and introspection.
Beginning: Ramya starts by vocalizing the first, fifth, and octave tones, establishing a triad that resonates deeply. These tones—root, stability, and completion—are foundational in music and are often linked to the divine, symbolizing unity of body, mind, and spirit. This sets a harmonious foundation for the session, fostering a connection with your inner self and the greater universe.
Layering Voices: As the drone persists, Ramya layers vocal tones that range from grounding low notes to uplifting ethereal ones, gently releasing stuck emotions and creating a rich soundscape.
Raga Exploration: Ramya explores different ragas, using her voice to evoke specific emotions and energies, guiding you into a meditative state where natural healing occurs.
Ukulele and Bowl Resonance: The gentle strum of a retuned ukulele, resonating with Ramya’s voice, adds an earthy, melodic layer. Crystal or Tibetan bowls are also introduced, their vibrations harmonizing with the ukulele and voice, enhancing emotional release and energy flow.
Crescendo and Resolution: The session builds as Ramya’s voice explores the depths and heights of the raga, accompanied by the drone, bowls, and ukulele. Emotions surface and are gently released, leading to a gradual softening of sound, bringing a deep sense of peace and clarity.
Ending: Ramya concludes with the first, fifth, and octave tones, grounding you and sealing the experience with a sense of wholeness and divine connection. She ends with a moment of gratitude, leaving you with lasting feelings of peace and well-being.
