What to expect
During a sound bath, participants relax comfortably, usually lying on their back. For best results, they listen and stay present with the sounds and what they feel and experience. People get much more out of the sound bath if they remain present with the experience. For those who tend to fall asleep, with practice, it gets easier to stay present.
Experiences vary – sometimes people feel physical sensations, other times more emotions. Some listeners see colors, shapes, or images, which becomes like a waking dream. Sound baths can activate the higher mind, and many people receive creative insights or work out issues they couldn’t solve in their “normal” state. 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.
