What is a sound bath?

In a Sound Bath, waves of sound (which are produced by Himalayan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, biosonic tuning forks, shamanic drumming, and other instruments and tools) calm the nervous system and balance the "subtle body." In addition to balancing the subtle body, this holistic practice of sound bathing works wonders for stress relief, insomnia, anxiety, chronic pain, and even depression.

The subtle body refers to energy that vibrates throughout the innermost layers of the body as well as through the "unseen" components of our earthly bodies, such as our magnetic field, (also called aura) and beyond what we typically only physically conceive of the human body.

Sound bathing goes as far back to the ancient times of ancient Greek philosophers, who used the frequencies as a form of medicine to treat a myriad of ailments. The Mayan people also assigned a sound "tone" to each individual with an element and an astrological sign. There are 13 Mayan galactic day tones. Each Mayan number is represented by personality traits that fit those who were born under that day number. Each galactic tone symbolizes the path one should take and the energy that the time of birth represents. Hymalayan singing bowls are powerful instruments that can be: –       a sound sculpture for bringing balance and tonal frequency to a particular environment.- outdoor or indoor. –       aids to meditation, relaxation, rest, calming mind and body and centering –       assistants to create focus and  clarity, uplift and inspire –       tools for healing –       allies in the process of crossing thresholds – in journeys into the unknown Many people are also using the bowls and bells to focalize meetings, clear spaces and their own minds/fields, contribute energetically to spaces and people and create energetic flow,

Each sound bath is unique. A sound bath is not a musical performance and you may feel like laughing, crying or sleeping while you are going through it. Sound baths are becoming so popular because they're such an effective way of releasing emotions trapped deep within the subtle body. Your body, mind, and spirit contain all of the energy you've collected from past experiences, and adding deep, permeating sounds to these energetic frequencies shake things up at the root level. You might feel overjoyed one minute, and sad or uneasy the next. Simply observe these feelings without judgment, and let your breath guide you through whatever's happening. Certain frequencies emitted during sound baths can bring the physical and subtle bodies into harmonious balance.
