SOUND BATHING

​

A Sound Bath is an immersion into percussion instruments... like singing bowls, chimes and bells that when struck, emit a sound frequency that your body, mind and heart will respond to. In my Sound Baths, I usually include some more melodic elements like my harmonium and singing voice. But no matter what, it is affecting us from the gross to the subtle in very beautiful ways that help us release, re-align and re-calibrate. 

 

It's ALL energy

 

A sound bath is an energy healing using the medium of sound waves. Sound "medicine" is finally being recognized for its measurable affects on the body, state of mind and emotion, and people are looking beyond allopathic approaches to restore and re-balance themselves. The results are experiential. In other words, when it works, it works. 

​​

Energetic factors that contribute to the experience 

​

How is your energy in that moment? (What kind of day have you had, how is your nervous system doing, how receptive are you, how's your mood, the weather...)

​

What is the energy like in the room? (Other people's energy, lingering energy from a prior class or conversation, the energy of the sound practitioner on that day...)

 

And every single instrument - every gong, chime, drum, bowl, cymbal, etc. holds an intrinsic frequency but will be felt differently depending on how they are played. Sometimes the sounds feel jarring, which may mean something is being rattled loose that is no longer needed. Sometimes to the ears of the nervous system, the frequency of peace blankets everything and a depth of quiet can be reached that you haven't experienced for years. 

​

Trust yourself

With so many different factors affecting the experience, it's important to trust your own response. How do you feel during? When it's over? 24 hours later? What has changed? Tuning into yourself and taking note can be a great thing to do, but there's just as much value in knowing what makes you feel good. That can be more than enough.
