What is a Sound Bath?
Sound healing is an ancient practice that uses sound vibrations to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It is based on the idea that everything in the universe, including our bodies, is made up of energy that vibrates at different frequencies. When these frequencies are out of balance or blocked, it can result in physical or emotional dis-ease. Sound healing uses specific frequencies and vibrations to restore harmony and balance to the body, mind, and spirit.
How Does Sound Healing Work?
Sound healing works through the principle of resonance: when you expose the body to certain frequencies, the vibrations can help to realign and harmonise the body’s energy system. These frequencies can be produced using various sound tools such as:
Singing bowls (Crystal or Tibetan)
Drums
Chimes
Flutes
Voice (mantras, chanting)
Gongs
The sound waves created by these instruments penetrate the body and its energy fields, stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities. This process can help to release emotional blockages, reduce stress, increase relaxation, and promote a state of well-being.
The Benefits of Sound Healing
Relaxation & Stress Reduction: The soothing vibrations help to calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and encourage deep relaxation.
Emotional Healing: Sound healing can help release suppressed emotions, clear emotional blockages, and promote inner peace and balance.
Physical Healing: Specific frequencies are believed to help reduce pain, promote circulation, improve immune function, and restore balance to the body’s systems.
Mental Clarity: The frequencies help to quiet the mind, improving focus, clarity, and concentration.
Energetic Balance: By realigning the body’s energy, sound healing can bring the chakras and subtle energy systems back into harmony.
Spiritual Connection: The deep vibrations can facilitate spiritual growth, deepen meditation, and connect you to your higher self.

A sound healing session is a deeply relaxing and immersive experience. You’ll lie comfortably on a mat or treatment table and the practitioner uses sound instruments around you or directly on your body. The sounds may vary in pitch, intensity, and vibration, and you may feel subtle sensations or emotional releases as your body responds to the vibrations.
It’s important to note that each person’s experience is unique. Some people report feeling deeply relaxed, while others may experience vivid visualisations or a sense of release. No two sessions are the same, but the overall intention is to help you reconnect with your body and release any energetic blockages that may be holding you back from healing.
