Relax and refresh through mindfulness practices, sensory awareness, and nature.
Sound healing is a therapeutic and meditative experience where you “bathe” in the sounds and vibrations produced by different instruments such as chimes and crystal bowls. Through these sounds and vibrations, your mind enters a meditative and relaxed state, which brings about healing at mental, emotional, and physical levels.
During a sound bath, the brainwave state is altered from normal waking state (beta) to relaxed state (alpha), dreamlike state (theta), and even restorative state (delta). As the mind and body relax, the heart rate and blood pressure decrease, and our breathing becomes deeper. It is in this state that deep healing can occur.
A sound bath not only reduces stress and anxiety by inducing a state of relaxation, but it also has physiological benefits. These include a reduction in pain, better sleep, removal of toxins, and strengthening of immune systems.
Join us for a one-hour program in one of our conservatories that will leave you feeling relaxed and at peace.
