About the Artists
Shree Krishna Shahi
 Shree
Krishna Shahi was the first person in the Kathmandu valley of
Nepal to work with singing bowls. He learned about singing bowls
from his adopted Tibetan grandfather, a Lama who came to Nepal
for several years during the early 80s.
Shree's first encounter with Tashi Lama occurred in 1981. The
elder monk spent his winters at Swoyambhu Stupa,
where he rested for several months before
returning to Tibet. At the time of they first met, Tashi Lama was
carrying five Tibetan Singing Bowls. He showed Shree the
bowls and taught him how to play, meditate and relax with them.
Shree was fascinated and bought the bowls, and practiced with
them.
The Lama was and expert at treating typical body ailments such
as backache, headache, muscular and knee problems, etc. He
recognized Shree's talent and adopted him as his grandson, teaching him all he knew
about the bowls. Over the winters, Shree learned the Traditional secrets of
Singing Bowl Therapy & Sound Healing from him.
Through his sound studies, Shree began to
understand the interconnections of the chakras, planets, metals, colors and tones.
He
learned how to arrange the singing bowls on the body and to use
tingshaw (Tibetan high pitched cymbals) with them. The Lama taught Shree how to work with sets of four and
seven singing bowls as CHAKRA meditation, tuning and
balancing SETS.
Teaching Singing Bowl Therapy & Sound Healing has been
Shree's work for
more than 20 years. He has taught worldwide and with
Santa Ratna Shakya has formed Tibetan Singing Bowl centers in
Germany, U.S.A., Kathmandu, and other countries in Asia.
Peter Hess and Hans de Back are both Shree's
former students.
Since his first
encounter with his grandfather in 1981, Shree has been
dedicating to Tibetan Singing Bowls - touring, teaching,
giving sound therapy, and performing concerts. He believes that
the sound of Tibetan Singing Bowls is the best determined by the
feeling and ear of the player rather than by electronic devices.
He offers Meditation and Relaxation massages, and teaches his
own method of Tibetan Singing Bowls to students throughout the
world.
