What to expect in a sound bath

A sound bath is a meditative experience that involves lying down and being bathed in the soothing sounds and vibrations of various instruments, such as crystal bowls, gongs, and chimes, to create a meditative and immersive sonic experience.

During a sound bath, participants may experience a range of sensations, including physical relaxation, a sense of calmness and peacefulness, and an altered state of consciousness. Some people may also experience visualizations, emotions, or physical sensations in response to the sounds and vibrations.

The sound waves created by the instruments help to release physical and emotional tension, promote deep relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, helping to balance the nervous system. Some people report feeling a sense of heightened awareness, spiritual connection, or even euphoria during a sound bath.

Each sound bath is different, and each participant is unique. This means each sound bath brings you a singular, immersive experience. You will notice some elements that all my sound baths share: the space, the sound, and the intent. What you take away from the experience is all you.

The Space

The room has a serene atmosphere with dimmed lighting and ample space. It’s designed to create a calm environment conducive to reflection and healing. Everyone shares the same space during the sound bath. Your mat identifies your individual space in the room.

The Sound

As you settle into a comfortable position, you begin to hear the gentle sounds of various instruments playing around you. Using ethereal crystal bowls, reverberating gongs, and gentle chimes, these instruments create vibrations that resonate within. These instruments create vibrations that resonate within.

The Experience

During the sound bath, you may feel a range of sensations. Participants have responded to the vibrations with immense relaxation, a sense of heightened awareness, and sometimes, with visualizations. The sound waves help to balance the nervous system and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. This is a very personal process, and each person receives and responds to these vibrations uniquely. I recommend that you approach a sound bath with an open mind and allow the experience to unfold naturally.

What to bring

Wear comfy clothes and bring a yoga mat to carve out your floor space, a blanket for comfort, a pillow to place under your knees for back support, and something to cover your eyes.
