Listen to Feel
Therapeutic Sound
An ancient practice, sound has been used in many different cultures and traditions as means of bringing about balance within mind and body, encouraging enhanced well-being.
These sound bath sessions aim to improve mental and emotional well-being by using specialist instruments that immerse the participants in therapeutic sound waves.
Despite the term, baths are not needed for this session!
The 'bath' part refers to the sound and vibrations of the instruments washing over and through participants.
Benefits of a Sound Bath experience
Relaxation
As the vibrations of the sounds synchronise and influence brain waves (the electrical patterns of the brain), the body and mind can start to experience a sense of relaxation
Feel Good Hormones
Sounds, vibrations and positive interactions within these sessions can stimulate feel good hormones, leaving people feeling more positive and energised.
Stress reduction
It is common for feelings of stress and anxiety to melt away as the change of fight or flight into rest and digest occurs
Connection
Whether watching or just listening, these sound sessions can bring about connection to self, others and our environment through sounds that are made and vibrations that are felt
Improved sleep
Vibrational effects of the instruments can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, encouraging both body and mind to relax. This reduces the stress hormone, cortisol, and can refocus attention away from stressors, allowing for a calmer mind and thus improved sleep quality.
