I am also a qualified gong therapy practitioner and give full hour-long immersive soundbaths, using gongs, frequency tubes and a variety of percussion instruments. I am fascinated by the power of vibration to bring healing and release in the body and I always interweave sound into all my workshops and retreats. 

 

What is a sound bath?

A sound bath is a full-body, deeply immersive experience where a person is ‘bathed’ in sound waves, leading to a meditative state where release and healing can take place in both body and mind.

 

Though the concept of a sound bath may seem new, the practice of healing bodies through sound is thousands of years old and was used by the Ancient Greeks, Tibetans and Australian Aboriginal peoples to promote both physical and mental health.

 

The sound waves are produced by a variety of healing instruments such as singing bowls, percussion, chimes, rattles and gongs. These will slow the brainwaves from our normal waking state (beta) to the more relaxed alpha and even the dream-like theta brainwaves. It is in this state that deep healing can occur.

 

The intention is not to produce a melody, but rather to balance the energy in the body through specific frequencies and vibrations, leading the listener into a deeper state of consciousness.

Benefits of a sound bath

Sound baths can help to release tension and stress, improve mood, improve sleep and even release physical pain! Many people also report increased energy, enhanced creativity and a deeper sense of spiritual well-being.
