What is a sound bath and how can it benefit me?
A sound bath is named such because the participants “bathe” in the sound waves that are
produced by the sound therapy instruments. The quartz crystal singing bowls and other
instruments like Shamanic drums, ocean drums, rattles, rain sticks, Tibetan tingshas, Tibetan
bowls and so forth, create the experience that the sound practitioner may bring in and utilize in
the bath.
For this article I am focusing on the quartz crystal singing bowls and other quartz instruments
that are featured in the Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls Resonant Experience on the New Moon.
These Bowls are constructed of crushed Quartz Crystal and heated to a very high temperature
and then molded into bowl shapes and buffed to create the frosted outside. Each bowl are made
to be a specific note and hertz. My frosted Bowls are 432 hertz. This frequency may provide a
deeper sense of connection to the universe, aid in deeper meditation, attunement of the body’s
energy systems known as Chakras, allow more inner peace, and aid in harmonious relaxation.
During a sound bath the individual will lay down or sit comfortably while the facilitator plays
the singing bowls. The varied tones and vibrations are meant to shift brain waves from alert
(beta waves) to more relaxed waves (alpha and theta), bring you into a parasympathetic state
which allows the body and mind to rest. This can result in lowered blood pressure and
decreased heart rate which instate a deep sense of calm in the body. You will be encouraged to
just let go and journey into the moving soundscape.
Studies have shown that a sound bath can benefit you in some of the following ways:
● Synchronization of brain waves
● Ease anxiety, depression, mood disorders and addictions
● Aid in releasing stuck emotions and energy
● Enhance a sense of well-being and fostering inner peace
● Reduce stress
● Sharpen focus and mental clarity
● Improve sleep
● Reset and recalibrate the Chakras
● Encourage whole being cohesiveness
Sound and Vibrational healing modalities are ancient. Our science today is just beginning to
discover the myriad benefits and effects. There are countless reasons to immerse yourself in a sound bath experience. Allow yourself to find out what they are for you.
