Sound
Bath
What is a Sound Bath?
A sound bath is a deeply immersive, full-body listening experience that creates a meditative space and invokes deep relaxation. During a sound bath, participants listen to soothing sounds and healing vibrations from instruments like singing bowls, chimes, drums, and more. With your eyes closed, the ancient hum of singing bowls washes over you, creating a serene and healing environment.
Sound bath meditations renew the mind, body, and soul, and enhance overall well-being.
How Does Sound Bath Meditation Work?
During a sound bath, resonant sounds activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for regulating heart rate and breathing. As rhythmic sounds wash over the body, they trigger the release of feel-good chemicals, dampen pain signals, and bring about a sense of relaxation, balance, and well-being.
The vibrations are a non-medicinal anxiety and stress reducer. Like exercising for your body, Sound Bathing as part of your mental health routine produces significant benefits.
Where can I get a Sound Bath?
Your house! Or a friend’s house, or outside, or any other place agreed on by you and the practitioner.
Who should do Sound Baths?
People who enjoy listening to music are essentially giving themselves a version of sound therapy. Anyone can benefit from guided, vibrational sound healing. Sound Bath sessions are appropriate for anyone of any age who can be still and quiet for one hour.
