“KYOTO – I’m supine on a padded mat as waves of sound wash over me. The vibrations of a gong reverberate through my chest, intertwining with the ethereal melodies of singing bowls, chimes and the gentle flutter of a rainstick. As the symphony of tones ebbs and flows, I feel the stress of a grueling week of work melting away.
It’s my first sound healing experience, one of the treatments available at the recently opened Six Senses hotel.”
