What are Sound Baths?

 A sound bath is a form of sound healing where people who want it, lie down in a comfortable position while the therapist plays a variety of instruments, such as crystal singing bowls, gongs, or chimes. These instruments are specifically designed to extract the most soothing vibrations and sounds out of the instruments – to create soothing, immersive sound waves. 

Sound baths are ideal for those seeking deep relaxation and a meditative state, offering a calming experience that encourages inner peace.

Why it works is it is based on the idea of resonance. It works on the idea that certain sound frequencies can stimulate or synchronise with the natural vibrational frequencies of the body’s cells, tissues, and organs.
