What’s a sound bath?

A sound bath can be done seated or lying down. For our event, we will be seated. A musician often taps and circles crystal bowls that vibrate beautiful sounds, often in succession. Theda is a multi-instrumentalist who sings, plays drums, guitar, chimes and harp. Sounds are layered and offer a gentle yet powerful, full-body listening experience. By mindfully focusing on each sound as it arrives and dissipates, your body can achieve a deeply relaxed, even dreamlike state. Gongs can also create a sound bath. Beyond rest, one can use sound baths for healing and self-inquiry. While sounds are musical, the experience is different than listening to a traditional song or band. Sounds may intuitively and songs may be different each time. While attendees can achieve a meditative state, no meditation experience needed. No mantras are used. Guests remain seated. Some people may feel energized while others may feel deeply relaxed. Sometimes emotions are released; this is perfectly normal. We offer a safe place for all experiences. Eye masks may enhancing; when one of our senses is blocked, the other senses are heightened. Wear comfortable clothing. Children of all ages have experienced sound baths safely. For some children, being quiet and still for any length of time is difficult. Movement, fidgeting or talking may be disruptive to other participants. You know your child best. Learn more.
