Individual or Group Session:

The session begins with each participant comfortably seated or lying down on a mat, with covered eyes. After a brief period of deep, intentional breathing, the sound experience begins to fill. Various sounds, tones, harmonies, and frequencies are introduced in measured succession. The sounds are created by a variety of instruments;

• Tibetan, quartz crystal, and enamel singing bowls

• Crystal, metal, and bamboo chimes

• Ocean drums and other percussion

• Brass bells, gongs, and zills

• Didgeridoo or Yidaki

When you experience a sound bath, your breathing naturally deepens and slows, and you mentally shift from an active to a more relaxed state. Participants have described it as: "meditative" "deeply relaxing", and "feeling true clarity." You emerge from the hour-long session clear-headed, open to creativity and creative thinking, and re-energized.

Common Responses to a Sound Bath:

In truth, the responses are almost a varied as the people you may meet in a day, numerous. I have facilitated group sound baths where each person has had a different experience or response to the hour-long session:

• one person may fall asleep and dream,

• another feels deep relaxation but is aware of every sound,

• another drifts into meditation and becomes unaware of the percussive sounds,

• another sees swirling colors behind their closed eyelids that change with each tone,

• another is overcome with laughter, and

• another is filled with strong emotion and weeps, 

• and much more.

Each sound bath experience is unique to each person, and different each time.” The responses vary. Clients have reported even more responses, and others are well documented.
