A sound bath is a musical journey with potent healing power. The body’s absorption of harmonic frequencies is similar to the nourishment it receives from food. Sound is not just heard with the ears; it is felt with every sense and absorbed on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.
During a sound bath, singing bowls, gongs, bells, chimes, voice, and other musical instruments nurture us with powerful, positive vibrations. Harmonic resonance has a profound effect on the cells, organs, tissues, as well as the circulatory, metabolic and endocrine systems. Sound bathing vitalizes these systems with sound's medicinal nutrients.
Moon phase, season, time of day, direct surroundings and group energy inspire the composition of this deeply meditative communion with rhythm and resonance. Beginning with a group meditation + vocal toning practice to cultivate communal awareness and honest listening, we welcome the amazing power of sound to transform, heal and inspire!
On Sound:
Cymatics, the study of visible sound and vibration, shows the ways in which sound has the ability to affect and change the physical structure of matter, with non resonating vibration resulting in destructive energy and harmonizing vibration resulting in beautiful designs and creations.
Harmonious vibrations have the ability to create balance after experiencing stress, injury, or disease.
Beautiful sounds stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. When this branch of the nervous system is activated, heart rhythm slows, breath deepens, and we are available to relax into more peaceful states of being.
A conscious, relaxed state induces an alpha brain-wave pattern. This causes the immune system to release molecules containing various kinds of energy, some which travel to the brain to support cranial sacral (crown to root) circuitry, assisting in the overall healing process on a cellular level.
Returning to a meditative, relaxed state of being opens our ability to enter the theta brain wave state, where deep spiritual insight and unity with the universe (samadhi enlightenment) occurs.
Healthy resonance has the ability to re-harmonize cells that have been imprinted with disruptive frequencies.
Chanting, singing, and rhythm has been used for healing since the dawn of time.
Sound coupled with intention heals dis-ease and generates deep peace.
Vibration effects every part of our being.
