Tibetan Bowls
I am still having trouble to get back to the real world. This was just that amazing of an experience. Today, we had the opportunity to get bowl sessions. You must be thinking, what is a bowl session, and here is what it was. A very kind man named Bill, came here to play Tibetan singing bowls. When you tap or trace the outside with special tools, they make the most amazing sound ever made. They took me to a faraway place.
When I was lying down waiting for the sounds to come, I didn't know what to expect. Suddenly, the sounds were floating over and flowing into my ears and through my head. Those simple sounds were magical to me. They soothed me and I felt as if I could fly. Even though I was on tough wood, I felt as if I was on a soft, pink cloud, that was lifting me higher and higher into the golden sunset, with mellow breezes. This already had a large effect on me.
This is only what happened when I could feel the music in my ears. After I took a few deep breaths, my brain started to reluctantly allow different parts of my body hear the music too. I felt like there was a waterfall. Going in through my head and going to the body. My arms were loosening and my legs went limp. The only movement I was doing was breathing in slowly. Then there was a small, but bright, flash of light, and soon I saw colors swirling around slowly. My skin felt tingly and my eyelids relaxed. I had never felt so calm. I felt myself going out of the group room and into the sky, where there were just soothing colors, no neon, and sparkly things which I did not know of. I heard singing, not musical bowl sounds. I felt so light and airy, like there was nothing wrong with the world.
I truly have never felt like this. It was a different feeling which I rarely have, and made me feel good. I couldn't believe it when it was over, because it seemed like it was only 2 minutes. I guess that when you have such a great experience, you can never tell how long it took. I will definitely listen to this when I feel stressed. None these words a actually good enough to describe how I felt, but one thing to say (even if these aren't the right words), it was super, fantastic, and purely amazing.

I agree with Anushka, it was a lot of fun, and I didn't know what to expect eigther. It was a very different thing and I thought it was great too. Great job writing Anushka!
