A Sound Bath is a deeply immersive, full-body listening experience that uses specific instruments to create beautiful sound, frequencies and vibrations to promote deep relaxation and deep restoration and healing.

Traditionally, ancient Sound Healing practices used drums, flutes, Tibetan bowls and more to create specific rhythms and vibrations in order to restore imbalances in the mind, body and spirit.

Today we still utilize traditional ancient instruments along with modern and revolutionary instruments such as Crystal Singing Bowls, Chimes, Gongs etc….that are tuned to various hertz frequencies, tones and vibrations, helping to bring our bodies and minds back into a state of tranquility, healing and harmony.

It is well known that the body heals itself most effectively in a state of deep relaxation. And using specific sound frequencies and vibrations is one of the most effective ways to do this. The impact of Sound Healing frequencies on health has gained renewed interest in the 20th century and there continues to be more emerging science and information that continues to support Sound Healing.

Quote: "Music can heal the wounds that medicine cannot touch." - Dr. D. Mridha, board certified in Neurology and Sleep Medicine.

A Sound Bath not only sounds amazing, but each instrument serves a purpose, all with the common goal to allow the mind and body to come into a deep state of relaxation called a parasympathetic state. When in this state, it activates the bodies ability to heal, repair and restore.

Our body's natural healthy vibration (resonant frequency ), can be thrown out of balance by chronic stress, physical illness, injury, trauma or even grief. And Sound Bathing can quite literally offer you a "tune up" and so much more! The more relaxed we become, the deeper and quicker our bodies, minds and emotions rejuvenate and come back into balance and ultimately harmony.

"If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes. Sound can redress imbalances on every level of physiologic functioning and can play a positive role in the treatment of virtually any medical disorder." - Dr. Mitchell Gaynor, director of Medical Oncology and Integrative Medicine, at the Cornell Cancer Prevention Center in New York

Sound Baths are all about comfort! Typically participants are invited to lie down on a yoga mat or sit in an infinity chair getting comfy and cozy with a pillow, blanket and / or eye cover.

Then participants and are enveloped by beautifully soothing sounds, frequencies and vibrations of crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes etc...The human body is very receptive to sound because we are made up of about 70% fluid, and sound travels most effectively & fastest thru fluids, therefore Sound Baths have multiple positive effects on the mind and body.

Our bodies respond by absorbing and resonating with these frequencies and vibrations, which impacts our cellular activity. It is not uncommon for some participants to feel the vibrations in their bodies, or feelings of elation or emotional release.

The mind also synchronizes and entrains with the frequencies and vibrations that are being played and enters into a theta state of deep relaxation (some where between being awake and asleep). In this state, the mind is often more receptive to accessing subconscious information and can experience heightened creativity and deep insights.

During a Sound Journey, people will often experience not only a deep sense of calm, which on its own is extremely beneficial and healing, but sound bathing can also offer clarity, perspective and even inspiration. Others still, may perceive, visions, colours or feel like they are floating out of body or feel a deep spritual connection.

Each Sound Bath offering is a unique and deeply personal experience! Ultimately, the frequencies and vibrations of a sound bath help to reduce stress, ignite our healing response, enhance mental clarity and restore a sense of balance and peace.

If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. - Nikola Tesla

Sound is a vibration that travels through everything in the universe... air, water, solids and therefore the human body. And sound has the capacity to shift neurochemistry and neurobiology in profound ways, making it a therapeutic tool to unleash human potential.

Scientific studies show that sound can produce changes in:

- the autonomic nervous system and the Vagus nerve (which regulates involuntary physiological processes in the body such as; heart rate, respiration, digestion etc... )

- the immune system ( cells, tissues and organs related to the body's defence and immune response )

- the endocrine systems ( glands and organs that regulate the production and release of hormones that control growth, reproduction, stress, metabolism etc...)

-and can influence brainwave patterns.

The Vagus nerve is also activated, putting your mind and body into a parasympathetic state. When the body enters this state, it works towards;

- helping the body rest, repair and regulate body functions.

- improving sleep quality

- enhancing the immune system

- lowering blood pressure

- helps with digestion and heart rate

- increasing mental clarity, concentration and focus

The vibrations and frequencies emitted during a Sound Bath can also aid in reducing anxiety, relieving tension and facilitate the release of suppressed emotions which impacts overall health.

Sound Bathing, dates back thousands of years across various cultures. It traces its roots back to ancient civilizations including the Egyptians, Greeks, Chinese and Indigenous peoples. Revered for its powerful effects on the mind, body and spirit, these societies recognized the therapeutic and transformative healing power of sound.

While ancient Chinese traditions used singing bowls, Indigenous cultures utilized their voices, chanting and drumming during sacred ceremonies for healing and spiritual connection. These traditions recognized that sound could reach deep with the human psyche, bringing about profound transformation and restoration.

In ancient Greece, Pythagoras explored the mathematical and harmonic aspects of sound, laying the groundwork for the understanding of vibrational healing. In the renaissance period, renowned visionary and thinker, Leonardo da Vinci, explored the mathematical and harmonious nature of sound. The discovery of musical intervals and mathematical ratios laid the foundation of western music theory. This new understanding of sound as a tool for harmonizing the human experience fuelled advancements in music therapy.

In the mid-20th century, Dr. Tomatis developed the "Tomatis Method" which used modified music and sound frequencies to stimulate the auditory system and stimulate cognitive development. And, Hans Jenny, a Swiss scientist, philosopher and physician performed extensive research while studying the impact of sound waves on physical matter. He named this science of sound "cymatics". It showed that visual patterns are formed by different tones, offering insights into the effects of sound on matter. He discovered that sound can create intricate patterns in sand and other substances. This lead to the development of sound therapy in modern medicine and the creations technologies such as the ultrasound and sonography.

And so, the journey of sound continued as the 1960's and 70's brought about musicians and sound healers who began experimenting with various instruments to create immersive experiences designed to bring participants into a meditative ( theta ) state.

And in recent years, sound therapy has gained widespread recognition as a complimentary healing practice. It is now employed to facilitate relaxation, stress reduction and pain relief in various healing settings such as hospitals, spas, wellness centres etc...

Sound Baths remarkable history from ancient civilizations to the modern world, and its presence across different cultures and time periods reveals its enduring presence. It has been recognized as powerful medium for healing, rejuvenation and growth to foster harmony within ourselves and the world around us.

"In the symphony of life, every vibration brings us closer to balance and peace."
