Well, I think you guys have the idea of types of singing bowls available in the market. There are crystal singing bowls apart from Himalayan antique singing bowls which also has very peculiar sound and uses in the healing and therapeutic interventions as well. If you are wondering about these singing bowls then you can check out my previous post in this blog. Today I would like to share one of my incidents happened in my community due to misunderstanding. Well, let me start it.

Women's group activity

As I have already mentioned that my mother leads a women's group. This group's main motive is to empower the women through various economic activities. Once they were running a candle making training for the community women. On that training, my mother met a woman, economically poor but optimistic towards life. She shared that she wished to run a small factory after the training. After communication with my mother, she finally shared their economic condition and how her spouse treats her and what she thought of herself in her family environment. She also shared that due to this environment, she had a tension headache and due to financial problems she was not able to consult a good doctor. She was taking some pain killer through consultation with pharmacists. Therefore, my mother referred her to me and asked if I could be of any help to her. I thought to meet her and then I gave an appointment. Next morning, she came to my home. I welcomed her and took her to my meditation room.

First of all, I let her be comfortable and then asked her about the situation. After listening to her, I then let her know about the healing process through the singing bowls. I also shared that a headache is mainly due to the tension that she was taking unnecessarily. I explained about the module.

First I explained about the sitting posture, making straight the spinal column and then I helped her to do simple meditation. After the meditation, I helped her to relieve stress with the help of Singing bowl. I took singing bowl which produces B note sound. I then put the head gently inside the singing bowl and with the help of striker, I strike the singing bowl and let the vibration inside the body. After the session, she said she felt very light and relaxed. She explained it was very helpful to her.

Her spouse's confusions

She went home happy and then I went to the office. After I returned to my home, the scenario was very much different, the woman that I talked earlier and a man was present at my house. The man was talking with my mother. He seems to be very angry. After I went upstairs and listened for a few minutes, I then realized that the man was her husband and he didn't like her woman to be present in the training and also in the healing session.

My mother was trying to explain about the motive of the group and its activities. She also shared that it will work as a guidance and supporter until the beneficiary will be self-confident and manages overall activities by themselves.

Explanation of the healing process and benefits of the singing bowls

After my mother explained about the women's group and its objective, I then explained about the session that the woman took in the morning. First, I explained the benefits which are mentioned below:

• The sound of the singing bowls improves mental clarity and fosters the emotional stability.

• It helps to increase physical energy.

• It also provides relief to the muscle tension.

• It helps the people with insomnia.

• It also enhances creativity.

I also explained that if the woman is happy, emotionally stable, first and foremost confident then that family will be well managed and certainly happy. After explaining the benefits, I demonstrated the healing session to her husband. After the session, he reported that he felt very relaxed and stress-free. He thanked me and left saying that he will rethink about his spouse's involvement in the training and the session as well.

Hope for the future

I don't know what happened between them. She didn't come for training and session next day but did come after two days and attained the healing session as well. I didn't ask her what happened between them but when I observe her, she was looking confident and little stress-free from that moment.

I know that working in the community is very hard mainly because you have to answer the questions that community people ask and have to face lots of backbiting even though you are working for good. But these successful cases gives us the confidence to work hard for the people despite the struggles.
