What is Sound / Gong bathing ?

These sessions provide the space and sounds for you to relax at a profound level. This allows your body to find its natural balance and your energy systems to recalibrate . Sound bathing goes as far back as the times of ancient Greek philosophers, who used the frequencies as a form of medicine to treat a myriad of ailments. The waves of sound (which are produced by the instruments are said to calm the nervous system and balance the subtle body. In addition this holistic practice of sound bathing has also been known to work wonders for stress relief, insomnia, anxiety, chronic pain, and even depression.
