Shree Baleshwari Devi is an experienced sound healer. She has been running the Nepal Healing and Meditation Center located in Lazimpat, Kathmandu, and has recently expanded her spiritual and healing services to the United Kingdom. She studied Shrimad Bhagwat Katha in Vrindavan, India, and is preparing to begin delivering spiritual discourses in the near future. For the past five years, she has been providing sound healing services and has already served hundreds of individuals suffering from various health issues. Here is an exclusive conversation with her conducted in London:

How long did you stay in Vrindavan?
I spent about one year in Vrindavan engaged in study, spiritual practice, and inner discipline. During my time there, I had the opportunity to deeply study Sanskrit, Vedic knowledge, meditation, and yoga. The sacred spiritual environment of Vrindavan strengthened my perspective on life, my thinking, and my sense of service. I had already been providing healing services before going there.

What is sound healing therapy, and how does it work?
Sound healing therapy is an ancient method of treatment. Our body has seven energy centers, which function based on sound, vibration, and energy balance. Since sound has a deep impact on our body, mind, and consciousness, healing is performed through mantras, sound therapy bowls, and vibrations that help bring balance to the body’s energy system. It reduces stress, provides mental peace, and activates the body’s natural healing system.

What kind of health problems can this therapy help with?
It is highly beneficial for individuals suffering from mental stress, anxiety, fear, fatigue, depression, insomnia, energy blockages, and physical imbalances. However, it is also very effective for healthy individuals, as it promotes both mental and physical well-being.

What type of treatment system is this?
This is an ancient healing system that is becoming increasingly popular alongside modern medical systems. The sound and vibrations produced by singing bowls help balance the body’s energy, supporting the healing process. However, it is best considered as a complementary therapy.

Where did this practice originate?
It is believed that sound healing originated with the creation of the solar system itself. Additionally, Nepal is considered its place of origin. There are references to Lord Gautam Buddha using sound during meditation, and singing bowls remain widely used in Buddhist traditions even today.

What types of healing methods are used?
There are mainly two types: chakra healing and physical healing. Additionally, singing bowls are used in sound baths. Chakra healing focuses on balancing the body’s seven energy centers, promoting mental peace and spiritual growth. Physical healing helps alleviate various bodily issues.

What are the seven chakras?
Muladhara, Swadhisthana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddha, Ajna, and Sahasrara—these are the seven main energy centers in the human body, and their balance affects overall health.

How does it help with other illnesses?
Chakra healing maintains balanced energy flow in the body, reducing the risk of potential illnesses. It also improves blood circulation, promotes mental calmness, and provides physical relaxation.

How long should one take this therapy?
For serious conditions, at least seven sessions—one per day—are recommended. For general health balance, even a single session may be sufficient. Each session typically lasts between 45 minutes to one hour.

What advice would you give for a healthy life?
A balanced connection between body, mind, and soul is essential for a healthy life. Regular yoga, meditation, exercise, a balanced diet, and positive thinking contribute to well-being. Service, compassion, and spiritual practice make life more meaningful. Consistency is key to achieving good results. One should adopt a sattvic diet, drink sufficient water, and maintain a positive lifestyle.

How did the concept of building a Hindu temple in West London arise?
The idea of building a Hindu temple in West London comes from the need to preserve our culture, traditions, and spiritual identity. It can serve as an important center to connect the younger generation of Hindu communities from Nepal and India with their roots. The temple should not only be a place of worship but also a center for cultural preservation, community unity, and spiritual education.

When will you start narrating Shrimad Bhagwat Katha?
Although I have completed my studies, delivering the discourse requires deep preparation. I have been receiving invitations from various places. After completing personal and family arrangements, I plan to begin narration with proper preparation in the near future.
