These days you will find many people offering sound baths but just what is a sound bath?

Many sound bath events have become major productions, you can find performers playing a wide range of instruments from crystal singing bowls to Chinese gongs, native Indian drums to didgeridoos, cymbals and bells and flutes and Tibetan bowls, in fact the range is endless. It’s true to say however that many of these events have become a performance or a simply reason to lie down and take a break from your daily stress, The main focus of many sound baths has therefore shifted from entrainment to entertainment.

At Healing Indulgence our main focus remains on the first part of the equation Healing,

A Healing Indulgence sound bath begins with a brief introduction from Trevor to help you understand a little of the science of sound healing, this ensures you receive the greatest benefit from the experience. You will then be invited to set an intention for the experience before you find a comfortable position on your mat or chair.

Once everyone is settled you will be treated to an immersive experience of vibration and energy. You will both hear and feel the natural vibrations of the quartz crystals as I gently strike and stroke the singing bowls, the vibrations will resonate through your cells to help entrain their natural frequencies.

Whilst it is not uncommon for participants to drift off to sleep during the sound bath, we encourage you to listen and stay present with the sounds and energy to receive the greatest benefit from the experience.

At certain times, as your are sinking into deep relaxation I will play a series of slightly out-of-sync frequencies, these specific frequencies induce sonic entrainment, a way to encouraging your brain to naturally vibrate at ≈8Hz and generate Alpha Waves.

In addition to the harmonic vibrations of the singing bowls will intertwine the sweet melodies of Koshi Chimes and the rain-stick,

Each sound bath experience is unique – sometimes more physical sensations are felt, other times it feels like an emotional journey, and other times people will see colors, shapes, or images similar to a waking dream. Occasionally the sound bath will activate the higher mind and people will receive creative insights, or work out issues they couldn’t solve prior.

When you hear 3 small rings from the Tinga the sound bath is complete, please take as much time as you need before returning to to the group.

As we near the completion of the experience the instruments will become silent and you are encouraged to remain still for a few more minutes, if you feel the desire to move at this time I encourage you to roll onto your right side and rest there.. The silent period is a crucial step for it is in this post entrainment period of silence that your body begins to heal itSelf.

Generally, a deep state of relaxation of the body and mind is achieved and most people look and feel brighter and more relaxed after a sound bath.
