An ode to my Sound Healing Space :

Firstly, hello from my first ever blog post! It feels apt in a way to start something new by saying goodbye. (Right here are my Aries/ Pisces elements in my chart playing out - first & last, hello & goodbye)

Nevertheless, What a journey! From properly registering my business, running it, and opening my Sound Healing space, all during this strenuous time of the pandemic. Starting and running a business is truly the ultimate test of personal growth - the decisions made, the people involved, the clients affected, scaling etc, etc. On the surface these might seem like fundamental business decisions, yet on the deeper level it provokes so many questions of how I show up as a leader, a business owner, and what feels the most authentic to me. Moving through these phases has been truly challenging, but also incredibly rewarding.

I started this space because of this vision I had to provide solace in the hustle and bustle of the centre of Hong Kong. I wanted to create a space where people can come, let go, and unwind from their day.

I wanted to create a space where people can come, let go, and unwind from their day. I spent so much time curating the aesthetic of the space, and putting in my best efforts setting up the most ethereal and tranquil energy for the space. This space was actually so sacred because it was adjacent to where my father was born. The energy of that area felt so fitting, and in a way I was able to connect with my ancestral ties knowing that’s where his parents and family lived and built their lives. As my name states, Yin energy is paramount to me and my way of life. We are in such a Yang space and timeline, and my mission and passion is to provide Yin as balance, a space of rest, a mindset of flow and surrender, so we can stride forward as the best versions of ourselves. and putting in my best efforts setting up the most ethereal and tranquil energy for the space.

I didn’t set out to establish a studio, but it felt right to open and tailor a space where I can provide my personalised services. From the supportive linen mats to the lavender eye masks to the soft plush blankets, I wanted to tailor every detail of the healing experience to the best of my ability, ideally how I would like to receive a session. Creating this studio was a step in the direction of expanding my business, but the studio itself wasn’t meant to be a permanent fixture. One of my favourite Confucius quotes is: “A person (the pronouns are ‘he’ in the original verse but that doesn’t sit right me or these gender fluid times!) who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.” Well, I am here building a mountain, cognisant that these small stones are necessary for growth. This space has provided so much solace not only for my clients, but for myself as well.

While I had to let the space go earlier than planned, I am so thankful for the space, and also the support of everyone who has ever stepped foot inside. Most importantly, this space provided precious moments to connect with my clients and learn more about their needs and challenges. Through them, I learn deeply how I can provide better, and respond to what they need. Whether coming by to hang out, or to immerse themselves in the magic and therapy of Sound Healing. This studio has been such a space for and of transformation. I’m so proud to have shared this space with 100+ clients and counting!

Sometimes the bravest thing to do is to let go

While the plan for the space was always temporary, it was still really hard to release the contract - both materially and emotionally. The path of building a building a business - or personal growth for that matter - isn’t always linear. This mountain will have twists and turns, just like a journey through Middle-earth, but what I’m learning is to enjoy and most importantly honour the process. There were moments where it did feel very disappointing to dismantle this physical space that I’ve built. I couldn’t help but think “wow, I put so much effort in this just to take it all down.” But like the article title suggests, dismantling the space is my process of clearing the clutter, shedding old narratives, honouring my past. And now with the release of this lease, I’m able to take a deep cleansing breath, and allow new and fresh energies to be come in. I welcome in spaciousness, the unknown, and elevated levels of abundance and growth. I have the utmost thankfulness for the space and sacred moments it has given. I’m feeling the energies of the Goddess Kali and the Goddess Durga come through as I write this and honour this space, as Kali is the goddess of destruction dissolution. I am moving through a radical rebirth, and instead of pushing this time away, I relinquish my full control to trust. I demolish the ego that holds me back, and instead I lay out my vulnerabilities and share as authentically as possible how this process has been for me. This is my true and deep liberation. And with the Goddess Durga, she comes to me in a time for deep inner strength and protection. While I don’t have this physical space anymore, what I know and what I need are all within. The former versions of myself crumble away, while I embody fierce boldness and strength to overcome and continue on the path. The will power to overcome is within. The strength is within. (Also thank you Leo season woohoo, what a serendipitous salut to the end of this bold season as we enter and welcome in Virgo/ Beyoncé feels)
