Experience The Transformative Power Of Sound And Bodywork In Gozo

In a world so out of tune and alignment, Nikara aka “The Body Whisperers” offer healing, harmony, balance and wholeness.

Nikara is a destined union between Kevin, a seasoned Sound Healer, multi-instrumentalist, producer and recording artist and Sankara, a gifted intuitive energetic healer, massage therapist and vocalist who together, offer transformational healing experiences on Gozo Island.

The Sound Bath

A sound bath, for the uninitiated, is an immersive meditative experience where sound waves from various instruments wash over you, creating a deep state of relaxation and healing.  The frequencies received by our body (which is 80% water) vibrate and align our cells in a way nothing else can.

“Sound has the power to reorganize and restructure matter. Influencing the energy centres of our bodies. Chakras, meridians, are restored to their sacred geometry. We harness the power of sound alchemy to bio-Hhck the subconscious mind” says Kevin. He cleverly and intuitively uses consonant and dissonant frequencies, binaural waves and meditations, with different Instruments and tools, such as Gongs, Shamanic Drums, the Native American Flute, a Futujara, Handpan, quartz bowls and the power of the voice, which facilitates an inner transcendent journey.

The Bodywork

I love the term bodywork. It gives much more meaning to this experience and other healing modalities where massage is used.  It suggests so much more than just the idea of kneading out knots and loosening up tight muscles and creates the idea of looking at the body as a whole and responding to it where necessary.

Sankara uses the Mayan holistic approach which promotes an authentic balance between mind, body, and spirit. Through various practices, she activates the body, relaxing the tissues and moving fascia, acupressure points, with variation of touch pressures, energy movements, and breathwork.

Together, their reputation as healers of the body and mind had preceded them, and I was eager to experience their practice. A unique and alchemic blend of sound and bodywork which united, creates a heart-expanding, powerful multisensory experience that releases stagnant energy, allowing the free flow of vital energy, expressing repressed emotions, and restoring our balance.

The Experience

Nikara curate a sacred space, ‘The Shala Lounge’ where healing can occur on a deep and profound level.

The services they offer range from Mayan Massage and De – Armoring through to Shamanic Sound Alchemy and more. I experienced the Sound And Bodywork Ceremony, a holistic combination which combines an auditory journey by Kevin with a deeply therapeutic and intuitively healing body massage by Sankara.

Nikara – Sound Bath & Massage

Ok – full disclosure. A few years ago, if you’d told me I would be lying half naked on the floor having a massage next to a guy playing sound bowls and various instruments I might have rolled my eyes, but there I was, experiencing just that in their home in Nadur.

I was immediately blown away by the stunning view across the Maltese archipelago (and their brand new kitten) and after an open dialogue about how I was feeling, I was invited into a cosy room with faint aromas of essential oils and incense which had been transformed into a sanctuary of tranquillity. A light blanket was wrapped over me and as I lay on the comfy mattress, eyes gently closed, the soft hum of crystal bowls and Tibetan gongs began to fill the room. This was no ordinary doctor’s appointment. I was about to be guided through an experience my soul had seemingly awaited my entire human life.

The vibrations from the crystal bowls, flutes and drums resonated through the floor and into my body, creating a deep sensation that was both grounding and elevating. The gongs, with their deep, resonant tones, seemed to speak directly to my core, dislodging emotional blockages I wasn’t even aware of. My eyes started to weep and release the excess cortisol in my system. Stuff was happening but I was unbelievably able to surrender and stay present.

Sankara’s hands, skilled and intuitive, seemed to know precisely where tension had taken residence in my body. As she worked, I could feel layers of stress and fatigue begin to melt away. This was not just a physical release; it was as though my entire being was starting to breathe more freely.

Together both Kevin, Sankara and I danced in the energetics of the room. We were synchronized and I felt deeply, their focus, intention, care and attention for me in that moment. A feeling we rarely benefit from.

As the sound waves ebbed and flowed, and my body was moved, stroked, pressed and poked, my mind entered a state of deep meditation. Thoughts that usually buzzed incessantly began to quiet, replaced by a profound sense of peace. It felt as if the sounds were re-tuning my very essence, aligning mind, body, and spirit in perfect harmony.

“Treating illnesses as imbalances rather than symptoms.”

Nikara

Their combination of the soundscape and touch had unlocked something deeply. It activated my vagus nerve and balanced my nervous system, It settled my stressful mind and took me to a higher place that opened my third eye wide. It facilitated huge emotional release and unearthed ancient wounds that continued to offer clarity, days after the session. It was a potent, ceremonial act which allowed me to reconnect with myself on a level that so often gets forgotten.

This is your sign to open your mind…

Emerging from the session, I felt reborn. It was as if every cell in my body had been recalibrated, vibrating with a new-found vitality and clarity. I was left with a sense of gratitude and renewal that words would scarcely capture. This was by far the best healing experience I have ever received and I was clearly, ready to receive it.

It is clear why they are known as The Body Whisperers. Kevin and Sankara, individually and together possess an uncanny ability to listen not just with their ears but with their whole being, responding to the subtle cues of the body and the energetic field around it.

In a world where stress and anxiety are constant companions for many, experiences like the ones offered by Nikara are not just luxuries; they are necessities and I believe, the future of medicine – if we allow it. It serves as a reminder of the importance of pausing, tuning into deeper currents within and of the incredible power of holistic healing practices.

For those seeking a profound and transformative experience, a sound bath and massage with Nikara is a journey worth taking.

Your future self will thank you for this experience.
