Sound Bath

Service Description

Sound Baths are an immersive listening experience. A passive form of meditation whereby the participants are able to focus their minds on sound with very little effort. The sounds of crystal and Himalayan bowls, various chimes, gongs, drums and more create frequencies that enable the brain waves to slow while inducing a deep therapeutic relaxed state of consciousness. The sound waves have been seen to not only cause a change in the brainwaves but also to penetrate the body creating a relaxation response as well as providing a slightly detoxifying effect. The use of sound has been studied for its ability to activate the parasympathetic nervous system by stimulating the vagus nerve which is connected to the eardrum. Possible benefits of a Sound Bath include deep relaxation, better sleep, improved focus and mental clarity, decreased blood pressure and anxiety. A Sound Bath is best enjoyed lying down with the eyes closed. A brief guided meditation is provided at the beginning and end of the Sound Bath.
