My First Sound Healing Experience: A Journey into Spiritual Wellness
After the AGM of NTDEA, I sat down for a tea break with Nirajan Sir. What started as a simple conversation slowly turned into a new idea for the future of cultural tourism. We were discussing “What next?”, what new things we can offer as tourism and culture students, and how we can create experiences that truly reflect Nepal.
During our conversation, Sir reminded me that I already have skills and equipment for sound healing. He encouraged me to use those skills and promote them in a meaningful way. This sparked a new thought: Why not create a cultural-wellness experience? Nirajan Sir immediately supported the idea and said, “Let’s collaborate with NTDEA and organize a group sound bath session.”
After that moment, the two of us started working step by step: Fixing a suitable date, finding a peaceful venue, searching for Dhaka fabric, getting the outfits stitched, and adding Nepali identity to everything we planned
Because we wanted the session to feel authentically Nepali, we even visited a Dhaka manufacturing place to choose the right fabric. Every small detail mattered, from the cultural touch to the spiritual atmosphere. We invited 20 participants to the session. I made sure everything started on time and ended on time. The flow of the session, the energy, and the peaceful environment all came together beautifully. It was more than just a sound bath; it was a blend of Nepal’s heritage, spirituality, and wellness tourism.
Organizing the Sound Bath Session in collaboration with Nimi Wellness Centre and Guru Nirajan Tiwari was a truly special journey for me. This was my first time experiencing sound healing, and honestly, it felt amazing, like nothing I had ever felt before. Before the session started, we prepared to give our guests a calming, spiritual welcome. We offered herbal tea and washed their hands and feet with rose water to refresh and purify. Then, after a traditional welcome with Chandan Tika and Rudrakshya Mala, we took photos to capture the beautiful moment.
We set a sacred space with singing bowls placed next to the god Ganesh’s idol, lit a diyo (lamp), and prepared kasal. Everyone could feel the spiritual energy growing in the room, a deep connection was forming among all present.
The one-hour session itself was otherworldly. The sounds of the gong, singing bowls, tingsa, and bells carried me somewhere beyond time and space. I was going, going… but didn’t know exactly where. It was the purest meditation I have ever experienced, truly a new chapter in my spiritual journey.
Afterward, Guru Nirajan invited us to share our feelings and reflections. Talking with him helped me understand the power of sound healing and how it connects us to our inner peace and the world around us.
This experience took place in Jesth 2082 BS, marking a milestone in my life and deepening my connection to Nepal’s rich traditions of wellness and spirituality.
I feel more inspired than ever to bring such healing and spiritual journeys into Nepal’s growing tourism scene. Our land is not just about stunning landscapes, but also about moments like these that nurture the soul. My sincere thanks to Guru Nirajan and NTDEA for trusting this idea and allowing us to create something meaningful. This experience has encouraged me to explore more ways in which culture, spirituality, and tourism can come together in Nepal.
