The “Pre-Exam Recharge: Singing Bowl Sound Therapy Workshop,” organised by the School of Open Learning, was successfully held on April 28, 2026. Designed to help students relieve exam stress, the event offered a tranquil space to recharge and face academic challenges with composure.
The workshop began with an introduction to sound-healing principles and a mindful-breathing exercise to calm the mind. Under the guidance, students practised self-striking techniques, using the resonance of the bowls to release initial physical tension.
The session then transitioned into a group “sound massage” guided by the instructor and four mentors. Students took turns tapping the bowls together, feeling the deep vibrations help their stress melt away.
Students shared highly positive feedback, noting that the session offered a rare moment of serenity amidst their high-pressure studies. By learning to focus on the present through sound therapy, participants not only relieved their stress but also gained valuable techniques to enhance their concentration.
