What is a Relaxation Sound Bath?
Relaxation is important as stress can weaken our immune system. A sound bath is a relaxation and stress reduction technique where participants “bathe” in the sound waves produced by instruments like gongs, singing bowls and chimes.
Through a combination of rhythms and frequencies, sound tools can enable the brain to move into deeper brain wave frequencies and shift our normal waking Beta state into a meditative state.
The sound bath experience usually begins with a warm cup of Cacao Tea and Gratitude or Reflection practice. You will then lie down to enjoy a relaxing guided meditation sound bath. You leave lighter, taking a sense of peace with you into the rest of your day.
Benefits of Sound Bath
The benefits of a Relaxation Sound Bath include:
- Stress relief
- Increased productivity
- Improvement in wellbeing and health as your parasympathetic system is activated.
- This is our “Rest & Digest” mode, where the body can repair and recover. This results in better immunity, digestion, and memory among other things.
"It takes courage to say yes to rest and play in a culture where exhaustion is seen as a status symbol."
