Introducing the singing bowl

One of my friends told me about a Lighthouse she visited in London today that contains a Longplayer that basically houses a large collection of singing bowls – normally an instrument used in the sound baths I have experienced until now, which are very relaxing. I love this instrument!

And the coolest fact I found out from their website (as below) is that so far, Longplayer has been playing for:
24 years 250 days 07 hours
44 minutes and 14 seconds

I investigated this a bit more (as you know I like all things musical) and you can click on the link below on this website to listen to the music that it plays virtually non-stop on a live stream:

Last Thursday, I went to a floating sound bath at Westminster Lodge in St Albans and it was so amazing. Not sure if you’ve ever experienced a sound bath, but the noise of the water was lovely and complemented the music being played on the crystal and Himalayan bowls, shamanic drums, and chimes (I think I’ve covered them all).

We had a bit of reiki included in the experience aswell and so we were well looked after as our airbeds were constantly being moved/ manoeuvred to flow with the sound of the music and the water too to make us feel relaxed. They also gave us a card to pick at the end.

All in all, it was a lovely atmosphere and the biggest soundbath I’ve ever been too – think there were about 30-35 people there covering the whole swimming pool!
