Sound Healing

During a sound bath, participants lie down comfortably on a mat or cushion, often with an eye mask or blanket to help them relax. The sound healer then begins to play the instruments, creating a rhythmic and harmonic sound journey that can last generally from 30 minutes to an hour.

The vibrations from the instruments are believed to promote deep relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote healing. As the sounds wash over the body, participants may feel a sense of calm and peacefulness, and some may even experience a meditative state or out-of-body experience.

Sound baths can be done in groups or individually, and they can be performed in a variety of settings, such as yoga studios, meditation centers, or even in nature.

Overall, a sound bath is a unique and relaxing way to promote wellness and restore balance to the mind and body.

Important Notes and Contraindications:

• Consumption of alcohol:
  Alcoholic beverages with a sound bath, before or after, is not advised. Alcohol dehydrates the body - the human body is generally 60-70% water; the sound vibrations travel through the cells of the body supporting the body’s natural detoxing processes - with the help of water. To get the full benefit of the session, hydrate well (with water) before and after the session.

• Pregnancy:
  Not recommended during the first trimester - avoid loud, low, deep tones (such as from gongs).

• Sound-induced epilepsy:
  Sound healing/sound baths are not recommended.

• Sound healing/sound baths are not recommended for those who have a history of severe depression, psychosis, and other serious mental health challenges.

Everyone’s experience can be different. Some may find they’re feeling effects physically/emotionally more than others. Properly hydrating with water before and after the sound bath experience can greatly help the body process the benefits of the sound healing experience.
