FAQs

  • A sound bath is like a musical meditation. Instruments make different sounds and vibrations that can help the body and mind relax deeply. These sounds can help slow down your brain waves, like when you are daydreaming or just before falling asleep. When your brain waves slow down, you might feel less stressed and more relaxed, and maybe even have some new ideas pop into your head.

  • Musical vibration can interact with the vibrations in the body. When the body is “out of tune” (maybe due to illness or stress), the harmonious vibration from the sound instruments can help to bring it back into a more balanced state. This is called resonance, where one vibrating object causes another to vibrate at the same frequency.

    The rhythmic sounds and frequencies produced during a sound bath can influence the brainwave frequencies. This is called brainwave entrainment. Listening to different frequencies, the brainwaves can synchronize with those frequencies, helping to shift into a more relaxed state.

    When you relax, the heart and breathing slow down. This helps reduce stress hormones and increases feel-good chemicals in the brain. This is why many people feel calm, clear, or emotionally lighter after a sound bath.
