Julie, why do you ring that bell at the end of the session?
the signing bowl
At the end of your Shiatsu or Thai Bodywork session, I ring a “bell” which is really a Tibetan Singing Bowl that I found in Mcleod Ganj, India.
Once a client asked, “Does that mean I have to get up now?” But really it is meant to be the opposite of an alarm clock! It is an invitation to sink deeply into the calm and quiet created by your session, to take a little extra rest before you get up and join the outside world again.
In my Thai training they talked about letting people “cook” at the end, to really take in the benefit of the session. The tones of the singing bowl are meant to help you do that.
Enjoy!
