SOUND BATHS
What is a Sound Bath?
A sound bath is a deeply relaxing experience where participants are immersed in the soothing tones of instruments such as crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes and gentle percussion. Rather than “doing” anything, you simply lie down, close your eyes, and allow sound vibrations to wash over you. These frequencies help calm the nervous system, release tension, and promote a state of balance and inner stillness.
What should l wear to a sound bath?
We recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing that allows you to fully relax. Layers are a good idea, as your body temperature may shift during deep relaxation. Socks, light sweaters, or a cozy blanket can make the experience even more comfortable.

- Gongs – powerful instruments that create layered sound waves to clear energy and calm the mind.
- Chimes & Koshi bells – delicate, melodic tones that bring lightness and harmony to the experience.
- Hang drum (handpan) – soothing, melodic percussion that combines rhythm with resonance.

What are the benefits of a sound bath?
A sound bath offers a wide range of benefits for both the mind and body. Participants often experience:
- Deep relaxation and stress relief
- Reduced anxiety and tension
- Improved sleep quality
- A calmer nervous system and slower heart rate
- Enhanced focus, clarity, and creativity
- Emotional release and a greater sense of balance
- Support in meditation and mindfulness practices
Every experience is unique, but most people leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and more connected to themselves.
Why are sound baths also referred to as sound healing?
Sound baths are sometimes called sound healing because the vibrations and frequencies used can support the body’s natural ability to restore balance. While the term “healing” is often used in a holistic sense rather than a medical one, many people find that sound immersion helps reduce stress, calm the nervous system, and create a sense of emotional and physical well-being. The experience is less about curing a condition and more about promoting relaxation, harmony, and inner balance.
Who should seek a medical opinion before attending a sound bath?
Sound baths are generally safe and gentle, but certain individuals should check with a healthcare provider before attending. This includes:
- People with sound-sensitive conditions (such as epilepsy or certain mental health conditions)
- Individuals with serious heart conditions or who use pacemakers
- Those who are pregnant, especially in the first trimester
- Anyone recovering from recent surgery or injury where vibrations may be a concern
If you’re unsure, it’s always best to consult with a medical professional before participating.
