Sound Bath

A sound bath is where you immerse yourself in sound frequency. Sound all around you creates a ‘bath’ of visceral sound where you can feel the frequency of sound in the deepest parts of your body. A sound bath creates a meditative state where the brain emits healing brainwaves. Sound baths provide an immersive, full-body listening experience that can bring balance, relaxation, and a sense of calm to your whole being.

​

Unlike certain meditations or breathwork practices, sound baths don't involve much guidance. Instead, they call on the audience to be present and listen. When you settle in for your sound bath, you lie down, perhaps get cozy with a blanket, bolster under the knees, and an eye mask, and allow stillness to wash over you. You feel completely off-duty, as if getting ready for sleep, your body has permission to slow down and rest, to receive without the need to respond or react.

​

From there, the sounds begin to provide a stable frequency for fluctuating brain waves to latch on to, in a process known as entrainment. By using rhythm and frequency, we can entrain our brainwaves, and it then becomes possible to down-shift our normal beta state (normal waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxed consciousness), and even reach theta (meditative state) and delta (sleep; where internal healing can occur). As sound slows the heart and respiratory rate, it can also create a therapeutic and restorative effect on the mind and body.

Benefits of sound baths:

Deeper states of consciousness

Sound baths are an invitation into a deeper state of consciousness, an opportunity to unplug from external stimuli and to gain perspective of what's going on within you. By accessing brain waves like alpha and theta, we're able to reach states similar to those achieved in meditation.

 

Increased well-being

Sound baths may help promote deeper sleep and less stress. 

 

A chance to recharge

And of course, if nothing else, sound baths present the opportunity to relax and recharge. Many participants have reported that sound baths have provided a deep rest and release that they haven't been able to find on their own. They provide a chance to get quiet and listen without the need to consciously respond or react.
