What is Sound Bathing?

Sound bathing (also known as a sound bath, sound therapy or sound healing) is a wellbeing practice where you are 'bathed' in waves of sound, instead of water.

Imagine soaking in a warm bath after a long day. Similar to bathing in a bath, you are instead immersed in sound waves that produce vibrations and tones from the instruments incorporated in the session.

What happens during a sound bathing session/what to expect?

Your comfort is priority!

After a brief introduction, you lie down and get comfortable! * Please see the ‘What to Bring’ section.

At the beginning Melissa usually incorporates a gentle guided 'awareness meditation' or what is commonly known as a 'body scan' which encourages the body, mind, breath, senses and emotions to be more present with self and the immediate environment; supporting the process of 'noticing' and 'letting go' of what you are carrying within. We all know how it feels when we lay down heavy shopping bags - this is a simple tool we can connect with at any moment by simply 'noticing through awareness.'

Following on from this a variety of instruments will be played or ‘sounded’ creating a blend of sounds that will help you to unwind, forget the busyness of the world and take some time to rest.

There will be a period of silence at the end before we bring our awareness back to our mind, body and senses.
