Healing Wellness Things To Do

Himalayan Singing Bowls 🥣 Energy & Sounds Bath by Mr Rico 💁🏻‍♂️, assisted by Mr KK & Ms Shaunie 👫, 📍Boulder Valley Glamping 🏕️

As explained by Mr Rico 💁🏻‍♂️, the Himalayan singing bowl 🥣 is a metal bowl that is made with several minerals, then played with slow strucks by a mallet to create amazing rhythm. It’s origin from Nepal 🇳🇵more than 3K years ago & often used in spiritual or religious settings to invoke meditation 🧘🏻‍♀️ & relaxation 😌 through the resounding vibrations & pleasant sounds 🎶🔊 it emanates when being played. Read more via 🌐 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_bell & 🌐 https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Singing_bowl_therapy

It also used as sound therapy to induce healing & to treat various illnesses. In both ancient world & now the modern scientific world, the universe starts with vibration. When zoom into our body cells, each needs vibration as its healing power in each inner body, so we need to stimulate this healing power by using vibration to activate & strengthen the power of the 7️⃣ chakras aka points (Listed below from bottom to top) of our body, read more via 🌐 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakra). If not proper managed them, then may cause traffic jam within them for our body to functional well

• Root Chakra (Muladhara)
• Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana)
• Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura)
• Heart Chakra (Anahata)
• Throat Chakra (Vishuddhi)
• Third-Eye Chakra (Ajna)
• Crown Chakra (Sahasrara)

SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻💕  really enjoyed the calmness & peacefulness from this sound bath session. Hmm…Just that she was hoping in her heart ❤️ that she can have a deep sleep 😴  when she 1️⃣st lay down on yoga mat & closed her eyes. But she didn’t, instead she felt relaxed 😌

So, she asked Mr Rico the reason, he told that perhaps 1️⃣st time & trust yet to be built. She really jealous that some of her travel mates actually gained deep sleep & heard their snoring 😪😴 Hmm…A good reason for more sessions then

.

Yes ✅, she felt the vibration generates energy to work on the body cells, especially when the singing bowl was 1️⃣st placed on her stomach. She felt the vibration from it slowly awaken her stomach cells to digest better ☺️

Then, when the singing bowl shifted & placed on her chest, she felt the vibration synced with her breathing patterns. A good self reminder triggered telling her to breathe in & breathe out with her presence, no more auto pilot living

Mr Rico 💁🏻‍♂️ also explained that it’s being verified by scientists 👨🏻‍🔬🔬🥼 that our body needs alpha waves (7.9 to 13.9 herz) to working well 👍🏻 So, by just using our ears 👂🏻 to enjoy the sounds from the singing bowls 🥣 & relax our body , it actually healing too as the body cells can rest & recover by absorbing positive energy from the sound eventually

Highly recommended you all to experience a sound bath session, sure you will be amazed with its sound, vibration & awaken energy for your overall wellbeing ya 💯👍🏻

Healing Wellness Things To Do 

Forest Bathing (Sight 👀 , Hearing 👂🏻, Touch 👆🏻🦶🏻, Smell 👃& Taste 👅 ),📍The Habitat Penang Hill ⛰️

This was her 1️⃣st visit to The Habitat, a world-class 130 years old rainforest discovery center at the summit of Penang Hill ⛰️ which gazetted in 1911, as part of the UNESCO-recognized Penang Hill Biosphere Reserve, read more via 🌐 https://en.unesco.org/biosphere/aspac/penang-hill#:~:text=Penang%20Hill%20Biosphere%20Reserve%20is,sandy%20beaches%20and%20coral%20reefs . It boasts a 1.6 km trail which is mostly flat & extremely relaxing 😌💯 with aims to promoting the conservation, preservation & protection of its unique species of flora & fauna ecosystem & biodiversity

It’s SiennyLovesDrawing 1️⃣st experience to learn & experience Forest bathing aka “shinrin-yoku” from here “Shinrin” in Japanese language means forest 🌳🌳 & “yoku” means bath 🛁🚿 It means bathing in the forest atmosphere or taking in the forest through our 5️⃣ senses

Yes ✅, by simply being in & then connecting to the nature 💚🌳🌳 through our 5️⃣ senses ie. Sight 👀, hearing 👂🏻, taste 👅, smell 👃🏻 & touch ✋🏻🦶🏻

In fact, SiennyLovesDrawing has learnt that “Shinrin-yoku” is like a bridge ie. It bridges the gap between human & the nature 👩🏻↔️💚🌳 with 5️⃣ senses, in a way, absorbing the natural energy through each ears, eyes, nose, mouth, hands & feet respectively 

Guess what ❓⁉️

Forest bathing is originated in Japan 🇯🇵 since the 1980s, as part of its initiative to encourage local Japanese people to reconnect with nature 💚, during the fast pace world with tech-burnout & high rate of commit suicide. It’s being introduced as a therapeutic & meditative nature therapy solution to helping those in need to calm mind & senses by surrounding oneself in the greenery forest 🌳🌳

Forest bathing offers a range of wellness benefits, including reducing stress, lowering blood pressure, boosting the immune system, improving mood & increasing overall wellbeing. It produces a natural aromatherapy ~ Phytoncides which is proven to reduce ⬇️ stress & boost ⬆️ immune system. When human breath it in, the body will respond by increasing ⬆️ the number & activity of a type of white blood cell called natural killer cells (NK). These cells kill ❌ tumor- and virus-infected cells

Yes ✅, forest bathing Increases ⬆️ Human Natural Killer activity & expression of anti-cancer proteins. A small 2017 Nippon Medical School study was completed by the comparison of the impact of a 3️⃣-day forest bathing trip to a city trip with exercise & found that the forest bathing trip significantly increased NK activity, numbers of NK cells, the expression of intracellular anti-cancer proteins, while significantly decreasing ⬇️ the concentration of adrenaline in urine–with the increased NK activity lasting more than 7️⃣ days. In contrast, the city trip did none of these things. Read more via 🌐 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18336737

At The Habitat, you’re required to book in advance for a forest bathing session which only happening on Saturday & Sunday from 10.30am to 1pm. You will be guided by its nature guide throughout the whole session to experience the nature 💚🌳🌳 through your 5️⃣ senses ~ Sight 👀 with magnifying glass (Small) & own eyes (Big), hearing 👂🏻, smell 👃with breathing, touch 👆🏻🦶🏻 & taste 👅 Yes ✅, that’s the 5️⃣ senses sequence that SiennyLovesDrawing has personally experienced & enjoyed it 👩🏻💯👍🏻

Ohh ya…No need ❌ to worry about your physical fitness level to enjoy forest bathing here, it’s suitable for even kids & senior citizens 🧒🏻👧🏻👦🏻👴🏻🧓🏻👵🏻✅

Tips 📌: Before start, suggest to switch your phone to flight ✈️ mode, so you’re focus without any phone calls or messages throughout this precious forest bathing experience to cleanse your 5️⃣ senses. Time for your self mindfulness with the nature 💚

The nature guides 👫🏻 will kick start the session with a brief introduction to explain forest bathing & its benefits, then warm up exercises 1️⃣st before kick start the exciting sessions 😁

During the sight session, SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻🤩  got amazed that there were so many details that we are unable to see with our bare eyes 👀, but it all shown up with the magic of magnifying glass🔍🔎

Tips 📌: Choose a bigger magnifying glass 🔍 🔎 as it offers a greater & bigger sight to enjoy the fun of viewing the mini world ya 😉

During the hearing 👂🏻 session, you can close your eyes 👀 to enjoy the sound of nature, the birds chirping & also the obvious sounds from bugs, dominantly by the Cicada 🪲 from SiennyLovesDrawing’s own experience while slow walking on its beautiful 230m long Langur Way Canopy Walk ie. The longest double span stressed ribbon bridge 🌉 in the world 🌎 & the only 1️⃣ in a rainforest 🌳🌳 that built about 40ft above the forest floor. It offers stunning views of the valleys & overlooking Andaman Sea 🌊 & visitors can get up close & personal to the jungle’s canopy

During the smell 👃🏻session, the staff got all to sit down & started with breathing exercises 1️⃣st. Then, continue the session by passing each with some coffee bean as it will be the smell neutral tool. With each different leaf 🍃🌱 given, all will identify the plant through their smell sense by nose. There were 4️⃣ tests with pandan, lemongrass, Ylang Ylang & Kaffir lime leaves

Tips 📌: Close your eyes 👀 while smelling 👃🏻, more accurate & sharp smell gained ya 💯

During the touch👆🏻🦶🏻 session, SiennyLovesDrawing enjoys the touching feel of the texture on the leaves’ 🌿🌱 (This inspired her with some doodle pattern ideas actually) & the trees 🌳🌳 through her fingers & hugs 🤗

Yes ✅, hug a tree as one believes that it will absorb & transform the negative energy to a positive one 😁 It’s 🆓 to hug a tree, so why not❓⁉️

She enjoyed most during the barefoot🚶🏻‍♀️🦶🏻walking as it connects her closer to the nature by feeling the ground & temperature with her feet, so comfortable nice when stepped on the moss💚 ~ A nature foot massage she has gained as a city girl & living in a concrete jungle🏙️

Tips 📌: Hmm…Don’t accidentally pluck any leaves 🍃 while touching the leaf’s texture ya, lol 😆 Before hugging a tree 🌳, do observe 1️⃣st whether any ant 🐜 or big bug 🪲🐛 on it, else apart from the positive energy, you may also get absorb with unwanted bites/ kisses/ itchy struggles, so be extra careful ya ☺️

At the end of this session, the nature guide will prepare water to wash hands & feet 💦 🤲🏻🦶🏻

It ended with the last taste 👅 session by enjoy a hot cuppa of Lavender herbs tea 🍵& can shopping it as souvenir 🛒🛍️🎁 from its store at the exit

Highly recommended 💯👍🏻 this forest bathing experience especially if you’re very busy at work to take a break to healing & cleansing your mind & soul with natural energy 💚🌳🌳 through your 5️⃣ senses ~ Sight 👀, hearing 👂🏻, taste 👅, smell 👃🏻 & touch ✋🏻🦶🏻

Tips 📌: Hmm… SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻💡 ✨ got an idea, if you’re just like her living in a concrete jungle & after work, you may try to walk around any nearby trees 🌳🌳 for a nature short break to calm own self down if required ya 🤗💚  Her own version of forest bathing, lol 😆

During your visit, you must enjoy your time at the Curtis Crest Tree Top Walk ie. It named after the 19th century English botanist, Mr Charles Curtis. It perched at 820m above sea level as the highest viewing platform in Penang, a perfect spot for sunset 🌅 as she was told by the nature guide.
