For relaxing and well-being. Listening to the sounds and tones of crystal and Tibetan singing bowls and other such instruments.
A SOUND BATH can be a deeply relaxing and calming experience.
Participants are literally ‘bathed’ in sound waves produced by various instruments e.g. crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, chimes, drums, to name but a few.
The ‘music’ created doesn’t have a catchy melody like other music, but instead is a carefully selected wash of sounds with notable resonance and overtones.
The intention is to alter the energy of the participants, particularly the ‘busy’ part of the mind which is difficult to stop. So no repeated patterns of sound that the brain will quickly recognise, instead it’s to lead the participants to relaxation and the brain to ‘let go’!
This is not a new thing; sound has been used for thousands of years to soothe the mind, body and spirit.
The benefits can be: relaxation and ‘letting go’ with an increased sense of well-being.
