  • Increase Positive Energy
  • Calm the Mind
  • Altered States of Consciousness

What is a Sound Bath Meditation?

A sound bath meditation is similar to a sound bath, but it is recorded. Instead of being immersed in the sounds in person, it is listened to online, or as a recording, ideally with headphones. Our sound bath meditations are played with gongs, crystal bowls, and other sound bath instruments.

Each recording is unique and contains meditation or breathing suggestions to enhance and guide you through the experience. Many recordings also contain binaural beats in the theta brainwave range to deepen the meditative effects. There are also visuals if you would like to do an open-eye meditation, which can help you stay present if you tend to fall asleep with your eyes closed. You may follow the specific guidance for each video or simply relax and listen to the sounds.

Partaking in a sound bath meditation session daily can be a great way to relieve stress, reduce anxiety, and improve overall wellness. Meditations can be done in between attending in-person sound bath events to help the benefits last longer.

What are the Benefits of a Sound Bath Meditation?

Our meditations are a wonderful way to help induce a meditative state and relax the body and mind. Sound Bath meditation can also:

  • soothe the nervous system,
  • relieve mental and emotional stress,
  • focus the mind,
  • build awareness,
  • serve as music for breath focus,
  • help in managing stress,
  • aid in mindfulness practice,
  • shift to a parasympathetic nervous system state,
  • aid in tapping into the subconscious mind,
  • help someone unwind at the end of the day, and more!

The benefits one experiences will vary and everyone responds to sounds differently. For the greatest therapeutic effects, develop a consistent practice, such as every morning.


How to Best Participate

Enjoying a sound bath meditation is simple! Find a relaxed position – either lying down or seated, relax, and listen to the sounds. Each meditation we have comes with suggested guidance, such as a particular mental focus or way to breathe. Some of the meditations are videos of live sound baths, and others contain visuals that you can focus on. If your mind tends to wander with the eyes closed or you tend to fall asleep, you may try open eye meditations with the videos that contain visuals. Focusing on the visuals can help you to stay present.

Our meditations are even more powerful when used in conjunction with attending live sound baths. Many of our clients have reported that they can relax into the meditative state more quickly with a recording when they have attended a live, immersive sound bath.
