Overview
A sound bath is an immersive rest practice: you arrive, get comfortable, and let waves of sound wash over you. Facilitators often use crystal or metal bowls, gongs, chimes, and voice. It is less a performance and more a container for surrender. Many people leave feeling softer in the jaw, wider in the breath, and kinder toward themselves.
How it works
After a brief welcome and grounding, you rest while the facilitator plays. Eyes can be closed; blankets and eye covers are common. The session usually closes with silence and a gentle return. Hydration and quiet time afterward help the experience settle.
