What is a sound bath?

A sound bath is a meditative experience where participants rest comfortably and are immersed in sounds that nurture the body and mind.

Similar to a traditional bath, a sound bath seeks to envelop individuals in sound (fully clothed!), with singing bowls being the primary instruments used to produce beautiful soothing frequencies and vibrations that allow the brain waves to slow down into a deep state of rest. Day to day we function within Beta brain waves, we are alert, in focus and aware of the tasks we need to complete. A sound bath helps us to shift into Alpha brain waves, a place where we connect to a dream like state, our focus is softer, our imagination might wander and it can be a welcome place to drift before we fall asleep.

The experience begins with participants lying down or seated in a comfortable position, often wrapped in a cosy blanket with cushions and eye masks. Enjoy a guided body scan relaxation and breath awareness to help bring you into the body and away from busy thoughts. The remainder of the experience is filled with different sounds and frequencies being introduced in succession. The sounds are created by a variety of instruments including Himalayan and crystal singing bowls, gongs, shell shakers, chimes, and voice.

​

A sound bath invites you into a deeper state of consciousness, providing an opportunity to unplug from external distractions and gain insight into your inner self. The aim is to promote deep rest and relaxation while encouraging self-inquiry and self-discovery. These sessions can be enjoyed in a group setting or as a one-on-one experience at home.
