Every Saturday, our group from Stemland, consisting of Sundaresan, Preethi, Sri Bhavani, Ajay, and Sivaguru Prasath, goes to the Matrimandir amphitheater for yoga with around 150 children. Last Saturday (August 26, 2023), we had a special sound healing yoga session conducted by Mr. Balu, an executive from Mohanam, with guidance from Muthukumari and her team.
Ajay’s Insight:
I could feel my inner peace and a completely relaxed mind in that environment. The fresh air, the sounds of birds, and the early morning pleasantness made me feel refreshed all day long. It was my first time, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. After the session, there was a smile on everyone’s face.
Sivaguru Prasath’s Insight:
While practicing sound healing, I felt relaxed, calm, and experienced enhanced focus. I also noticed physical sensations and relieved from pain and dullness. Time flies quickly when I concentrate and stay focused.
Sundaresan’s Insight:
In Sound Healing Yoga, the teacher said it might make you feel sleepy. I decided to pay attention to myself. I ended up falling asleep without realizing it. During the session, I discovered I could listen very closely. That day, this therapy made my listening even deeper. That’s when I understood how powerful sound healing therapy can be. I could hear background noises more clearly than before. I even noticed the sounds of small birds while listening to the music. After the session, I felt very calm. My mind was clear, and I didn’t feel stressed. It was really effective. The vibrations caused some changes in my body. I had energy the whole day, finished tasks quickly, focused better, and got clear ideas. It also helped me talk to others in a positive way. It made me imagine things in my mind. Many people use it to help with sickness. I want to keep doing this to become wiser.
Preethi’s Insight: When I attended the sound therapy, I found it quite interesting. Each instrument allowed me to focus on the melody and harmony without any lyrics. This session helped me relax, and the soothing sounds and vibrations made me feel calm. It enabled me to connect with my inner self and emotions. The sound therapy session helped me achieve a sense of relaxation, inner peace, and improved my overall well-being. I felt calm after the session and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Sri Bhavani’s Insight:
During this week’s yoga session, we had the opportunity to experience sound therapy treatment offered by one of the organizations in Auroville called ‘Swaram.’ The therapy involved various instruments that produce sounds, including bamboo and sound bowls. I had a new and refreshing experience throughout the entire session at the Matrimandir Amphitheatre. This session helped me relax both my body and mind, relieving stress. Children from different schools also had the chance to experience this wonderful therapy at an early age, thanks to this session. In addition to the yoga session, we support children from Udhavi School in visiting MatriMandir, which encourages us to take greater responsibility for their care.
