I'm Tamás Csik, I've been accompanying my sister's sound bath meditations with handpan for a year. I was enchanted by this instrument years ago when I saw and heard a street musician playing it in an underpass. Since then, the handpan has come up in my life many times, sometimes during a walk on Gellért Hill, sometimes in the form of a YouTube video, sometimes while practicing yoga. I felt that this instrument was calling me, that it could give me more than just the pleasure of listening to music. Without any previous training or knowledge of music theory, I decided to have my own handpan and learn to play it. I'm still at the beginning of my journey, but it has already given me countless experiences and experiences, and has introduced me to a fantastic community.
If you've ever heard a handpan - even if you don't know that's the name of this strange, UFO-shaped percussion instrument - you've probably noticed the ethereal sound and the special atmosphere it creates around you.
Thanks to his meditative voice, he often appears in yoga classes, sound baths, guided meditations and is gaining popularity everywhere. You might think we're talking about an ancient, oriental instrument, but it originated in Western Europe in the early 2000s.
The handpan playing on the sound baths helps us to quieten down, and then the simple, slow melodies invite us on a deep inner journey, complementing the experience created by the singing bowls and other instruments.
On the other hand, handpan also shows a more dynamic, musical face as an accompaniment to yoga classes, with its tempo and musical harmonies following the movements of the practitioners, while live music helps to deepen the experience of yoga practice and to focus inward.
