Have You Ever Taken a Gong Bath? | Chiara Salinas | TEDxUWCEA Youth

Stress can show up in the body as headaches, an upset stomach or dizziness. This TEDx talk by Chiara Salinas asks how people usually respond to these signals, from painkillers and walks to sound-based practices such as a gong bath. The speaker argues for listening to the body and caring for oneself in a more holistic way. The talk was given at an independently organized TEDx event in the TED conference format. The talk considers whether tuning into physical signals may offer a broader approach to self-care under stress. It is presented as a personal perspective rather than a clinical guide.
