what is a sound bath?
A Sound Bath is an immersive restorative practice that uses curated sound frequencies, tones, and vibrations to encourage a relaxing and introspective experience. It can help reduce stress and anxiety, promoting harmony within our mental, emotional, and physical selves. The intricate combination of various sounds can have a soothing effect on the mind, encouraging a shift in brain waves from an active beta state to a relaxed theta state. This experience offers a chance for deep rest, relaxation, self-inquiry, self-discovery, and inspiration while calming the central nervous system. Within your sound bath experience, I use a variety of sound healing tools, including crystal singing bowls, elemental chimes, and metal bowls, to help guide your sound bath experience.

Science + sound
The phenomenon of sound baths altering brainwave states can be attributed to the concept of brainwave entrainment. As the brain processes auditory stimuli, it tends to synchronize its electrical activity with the rhythm and frequency of the presented sounds. During a sound bath, the consistent and rhythmic tones encourage the brain to shift from its usual waking beta state into more relaxed alpha and theta states, which are associated with deep relaxation, creativity, and meditation. This process of entrainment essentially guides the brainwaves to resonate with the frequencies of the sounds, leading to a harmonious and tranquil mental state. Over time, regular exposure to sound baths may potentially promote stress reduction, improved focus, and an overall sense of well-being by encouraging the brain to transition into these altered states conducive to relaxation and introspection.
