Hello, this is Kuu.
Kuu Spa is quiet again today.
Beneath this silence, there is a presence of water.
The water before you once was rain,
a flowing river,
the wide ocean,
and water resting deep underground.
After a long journey,
it has arrived now,
in the palm of your hand.
Before the session begins,
you slowly drink a glass of water.
This is to switch on the natural circulation within the body.
As the body becomes filled with water,
cells soften,
breath deepens,
and the body begins to unwind
even before any touch.
Then, we invite the sound of water into the space.
A suikinkutsu ― a traditional Japanese water harp.
The sound of a suikinkutsu
is not simply sound.
Water falls,
vibrates through the earth,
spreads through the space,
and resonates with the water within your body,
gently touching you from within.
This water will travel through you,
then return again to the earth ―
an eternal traveler.
It is not just water.
You do not “listen” to a suikinkutsu
as much as you surrender to the sensation of water expanding.
It is less about hearing with the ears
and more about sensing with the skin and the cells ―
a vibration experienced from within.
This is the water ritual of
Kuu Spa.
Touching water,
listening to water,
drinking water ―
this alone
is already
therapy.
