The Moment I Remembered: What Egypt Taught Me About Sound

There are moments in life that feel like memories from a dream

like something ancient waking up inside you. For me, that moment happened in Egypt.

I was sitting in meditation at the base of a pyramid, and it was as if the Earth itself began to hum. A deep resonance moved through my body, not through words, but through vibration. I wasn’t just hearing sound

I was remembering it.

My cells lit up with something familiar, like I had always known that sound was sacred. That it was medicine. That it was power.

In that stillness, I felt a connection to something timeless. The chants, the silence, the echo of footsteps on ancient stone… they all spoke to me. Egypt wasn’t just a place I visited

it was a place that reawakened something in me.

This moment sparked the journey that became Sōna. It reminded me that sound is more than music or noise—it’s a bridge between worlds, between the seen and unseen. Between body and soul.

I don’t need to have all the historical facts to justify this knowing. Sometimes wisdom moves through you as a feeling, as an energy. And that’s what sound is: a language beyond logic.

If you’ve ever felt something stir inside you when a gong rumbles, when a bowl sings, when the world goes quiet… you’ve remembered it too.
