Sound healing is a holistic practice that creates a space for participants to sink gently into deep states of meditation typically utilizing singing bowls to create calming, therapeutic soundscapes. The practice may also be referred to as a "sound bath" or "gong bath." During a sound healing session, you’ll most likely lie on a meditation or yoga mat. The idea is to simply listen to the sounds as the practitioner 'bathes' you in their vibrations. The practitioner will use different vibrations to heal the mind and spirit all while gently guiding participants' bodies to a state of balance.

The principals that sound healing are based on include the idea that our emotions vibrate at different levels, and that unexpressed emotions are the main source of dysfunction and dis-ease in the body. Our bodies are largely made up of water which is a great conductor for vibrations. Sound healers use instruments such as Tibetan bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, flutes, tuning forks, vocals, glasses and more to create sound and vibrations for their healings. Sound healing is a pleasant, meditative, and relaxing experience. While this intervention is less rigorously researched than some of the others listed on our site, we think that this is a calming style of meditation tha is at least worth giving a try.
