about

Helen Kwok has been practicing sound healing for about 7 years and opened her own space in Wan Chai 2 years ago.

Helen's style is very, v.e.r.y. slow letting each bowl ring almost endlessly as I was taken in their custody to the depths of myself. To have such great restraint demonstrates a deep understanding and mastery of her craft and instruments. Her interests have recently been distilled even further by studying the shamanic drum, perhaps the most primitive healing tool, having only a single tone but using infinite rhythm patterns to trigger different conscious states. She feels the drum is more powerful than the bowls and regularly incorporates it in her sound baths.

In this track, Helen plays the metal bowls. Like her shamanic drumming, the cadence is slow and steady, striking the bowl on each breath and letting the bowl fully ring out before striking again. The bowls have an amazing sustain lasting at least 30 seconds with a gentle tap. Recorded several stories above the street, the busy sounds of Hong Kong can be heard in the background. Looking for a super slow and relaxing track, this is for you.
