Beyond Beauty: Self-Care Through Sound Healing and Music

Do you think going to a beauty parlour is the only self-care we should do?

In today’s world, self-care is often associated with spa treatments, facials, and salon visits. While these are wonderful ways to pamper oneself, true self-care goes far beyond external beauty. It is about nurturing the mind, body, and soul—aligning ourselves with inner harmony and balance.

This International Women’s Day, I want to share a different perspective on self-care—one that has transformed my life and continues to empower me every day. My self-care routine doesn’t involve beauty treatments; instead, it revolves around sound, vibration, and mindfulness.

Every morning, I dedicate an hour to myself—a sacred time for yoga, meditation, mantra chanting, and my daily vocal riyaz (practice). This is not just a ritual; it is my way of realigning my energy, balancing my chakras, and strengthening my decision-making abilities.

My Self-Care Ritual: A Journey Through Sound and Stillness

1. Yoga: Awakening the Body’s Energy

My day begins with yoga, a practice that stretches and energizes my body while activating my chakras. The asanas (postures) help release any tension, ensuring that my body is in sync with my breath and inner rhythm.

2. Meditation: Cultivating Inner Stillness

After yoga, I sit in silence and meditate. This practice allows me to tune out the noise of the world and tune into my own intuition. Meditation helps me clear my mind, stay centered, and make balanced decisions throughout the day.

3. Mantra Chanting: The Power of Sacred Vibrations

Chanting mantras is one of the most profound tools for self-care. The vibrations of each syllable resonate deep within, cleansing my energy and balancing my chakras. Mantras help me stay focused, calm, and in alignment with my true self.

4. Vocal Riyaz: Finding Strength in My Own Voice

As a musician and sound healer, my voice is my instrument, and my daily riyaz is essential. But this practice is more than just training my vocals—it is a way of connecting with my inner power. The sound frequencies I create not only enhance my singing but also regulate my emotions and energy.

How This Practice Transforms Me

This one hour of self-care is my foundation for the day. It helps me stay balanced, intuitive, and aligned with my purpose. It strengthens my ability to make decisions with clarity and confidence. Through sound healing and music, I have found a way to nurture myself from within—something no beauty treatment can provide.

Redefining Self-Care This Women's Day

Self-care is not just about how we look but about how we feel. It is about creating a space for ourselves to heal, grow, and thrive. This Women’s Day, I encourage you to go beyond the conventional idea of self-care and explore practices that nourish your soul.

Find your sacred hour—whether it’s through music, movement, meditation, or any practice that helps you reconnect with yourself. True beauty shines from within, and when we take care of our inner world, it reflects in every aspect of our lives.

Wishing you all a Happy International Women’s Day! May you always find the time to care for yourself in the most meaningful way.

The Transformative Power of Music: A Journey with My Daughter

Image
  As a mother and a music healer, I’ve often witnessed the profound impact music can have on people—helping them heal, grow, and connect with themselves. But recently, I experienced something deeply personal: how music can gently nudge a shy child out of her shell and open her heart to confidence and joy. My daughter is a reserved child. At home, she’s quiet and often hesitant to participate in activities, even though her teachers tell me how beautifully she dances in school. It’s always been a mystery—how she blooms in the classroom yet remains so guarded at home. I knew that music could be a bridge, a language beyond words, to help her express and connect. So, I took a leap. I gently pushed her to sing with me on stage for the first time. We chose a beautiful children’s song by the legendary Assamese singer and composer Keshab Mahanta—“Bahor murha bogorir gura eta je asil burha.” This wasn’t just any song. It carried the charm of folklore, the sweetness of childhood stories, and ...

The Healing Power of Music: My Journey with Cows and Indian Classical Ragas at Gauswarga

Image
 Two years ago, my journey with cows and music took a transformative turn when I first visited Gauswarga , a divine initiative inspired and blessed by Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Raghaveshwara Bharati Mahaswamiji of Sri Ramachandrapura Matha . That moment opened my heart to an ancient yet under-explored truth — music is not only for humans; it also heals, soothes, and uplifts animals, especially cows . Over the last two years, I've been blessed to visit gaushalas in Gokarna , Kerala , and once again at Gauswarga this May. During each visit, I’ve carried with me not just instruments or songs, but an intention to connect through sound . With Indian classical ragas as my medium — gentle morning tones like Ahir Bhairav , evening melodies like Yaman , or emotionally resonant ragas like Shivranjani — I began singing and playing music for the cows. To my astonishment and joy, the cows responded — not just passively, but emotionally and behaviorally . They became calmer. They clus...
