Is sound bath a type of meditation?

A sound bath may not fit the mould of traditional meditation as many understand it; however, it offers a unique pathway to the benefits commonly sought through meditation, such as relaxation, and mindfulness. A sound bath, doesn’t have to include postures, focused attention, complex mantras, or specific breathing techniques. However these elements work well in conjunction with a sound bath and can bring additional benefits to your experience.

During the Sound Spa session, participants are invited to listen, allowing the fleeting nature of sound—present only in the moment—to foster a deep connection with the here and now. This approach to mindfulness is accessible and beneficial to both beginners and seasoned meditators alike, making it a valuable addition to anyone's relaxation or meditation practice.

Will the Sound Spa session help me sleep better?

Many participants report enhanced sleep quality after a Sound Spa session, noting that the benefits extend beyond just a restful night to include a sense of calm and focus that lasts through the following day. Generally, sound bath experiences foster a reflective state, conducive to self-healing, and can infuse your daily life with tranquillity, ultimately supporting healthier sleep patterns.

What should I bring?

For your Sound Spa experience, comfort is key. While mats, eye masks and blankets are typically provided for your convenience, you're welcome to bring any personal items such as a small blanket, a cushion or an eye pillow that may help you feel more comfortable and ensure the most relaxing experience possible.

What should I wear?

There is no dress code for a sound bath, just wear whatever you feel comfortable in, so that you can rest and relax.

When should I arrive at the venue?

We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes before the session starts to allow time for settling in. To ensure the session runs smoothly and without interruptions for others, the doors may be locked at the start time of the event.

Do I have to lie on the floor during a Sound Spa session?

During a Sound Spa session, while lying on the floor is a common practice, it's not mandatory. If you're unable to lie down or prefer not to, you're welcome to sit on a cushion or chair instead.
