A sound bath is an experience that helps individuals relax and meditate. Attendees are surrounded by sound waves generated by traditional and contemporary healing instruments, such as drums, rattles, gongs, Tibetan and crystal bowls, chimes, and stringed instruments. The instruments are played using specific healing techniques that calm the mind and body to the edge of sleep, activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which stimulates self-healing on a cellular, emotional, and spiritual level. Typically, attendees lie on the floor or recline in a chair to maximize physical comfort during the experience.

Sound healing has a particularly calming effect on the nervous system by providing bio-feedback in the form of harmonic sound waves. The nervous system entrains to the sonic harmony by regulating the “fight or flight” side with the “rest and digest” side, which, in turn, helps to regulate all other systems of the body, such as circulatory, glandular, lymphatic, and mental. Much like Reiki, Sound Healing is so gentle and subtle that receivers can sometimes achieve a mental “super state” where the subconscious mind begins to creatively dream while the conscious mind acts as a witness. This state is often associated with “out-of-body experiences” as the dream state seems so real, even with the conscious mind still awake and aware. In these dream states, past issues and traumas can be released and relieved.
