What happens during a Sound BathDuring a Sound Bath you are taken on a sonic meditative journey. As you lie comfortably with closed eyes, instruments with different vibrations will be played, inviting you to relax and follow the sound's path. You are free to relax and drift off where the sound takes you
Your body is not merely hearing sound, it is receiving vibrations. Sound waves travel through the air and also impact us on a cellular level. Composed of about 70% water, your body serves as an excellent conduit for these vibrations.
What to expect
A safe space and an atmospheric/relaxing environment with high quality Gongs and other instrument’s
Yoga mats are positioned around the Gongs and sound tools. You choose your space and lay in the most comfortable position for you (laying down on a comfortable mat is usual but not essential, so if you prefer you can sit down in a chair that is fine)
A short intro and setting your intention followed by a guided meditation/visualisation focusing on the breath to allow your whole being to settle in and relax. The more relaxed you are the more beneficial the session is for you.
Of course, it’s best not to have any expectations and each person’s experience is unique but it’s possible to have a range of experiences from being very relaxed, energised, emotional, visions, happy, anxious, or feeling creative! All emotions are valid…When the body becomes still and the mind becomes quiet we give ourselves time to find solutions and can even bring more clarity to a situation in our life. We may even feel more balanced after the session as the sounds may Re-tunes us! Many people feel a sense of bliss and peace after a gong bath, especially in the quiet moments after the Gongs have quietened down…the Shunyata.
Physically we may become still but also, we may find the body is twitchy as things come to the surface. Both reactions are normal, and every Gong Bath will be different.
Its important not to get up straight away and enjoy this peaceful stillness and silence, called the Shunyayta, the golden silence (emptiness)
How does it work?
The sound of a gong helps the brain reach deep relaxation – specifically the delta and theta brain wave states, which are the slowest brain waves in humans. We tend to reach these states during daydreaming or deep sleep, and they are known to aid relaxation, creativity and are associated with meditative, clear, and peaceful states of mind…
reduce stress
clarity & balance
reduce inflammation
feeling more connected
Aids relaxation
The sounds can deeply affect you, evoking feelings of peace or even emotional shifts. These reactions are normal.
You may feel differently after each Gong Bath you experience. There is no right or wrong and sometimes your cant even explain how you feel or what just happened!
You actually dont even need to understand it but sometimes your brain will catch up later and tries to narrate it.
There is no rush to leave and you can take your time to gather your thoughts and belongings before your journey home
