A Sound Bath is a deeply-immersive, full-body listening experience that intentionally uses sound to invite gentle yet powerful therapeutic and restorative processes to nurture your mind & body.

The Basics

First and foremost, a sound bath is a meditative experience in which participants are “bathed” in sound waves. Let’s dive a little deeper… These sound waves are produced by various sources, including healing instruments such as gongs, singing bowls, percussion, chimes, rattles, tuning forks, and even the human voice itself. The music doesn’t have a catchy melody or rhythm like you’d experience at a concert, instead, it is a carefully selected blend of instrument and sound with resonance and overtones. Overtones are all pitches higher than the lowest pitch within an individual sound, for example, xylophones produce non-harmonic overtones.

Get Comfortable

During the sound bath, participants lie on their backs—Savasana position—for the entire experience.

Intention

Sound baths are rooted in the idea that these frequencies correspond to specific energy centers in your body. The intention is really to change and help balance the energy of the participants. During a sound bath, you don’t want to hook into a melody. You don’t want to repeat things because you don’t want the brain to recognize a repeated beat. Instead, you want participants to release, and you want the brain to let go.
