Welcome to the Sound Bath Meditation at The Populars, Crosslanes, Kilgetty SA68 0XT. Join us on 24th September, 2025 at 18:45 PM (Europe/London) for a relaxing and rejuvenating experience.
You’ll begin by being softly guided into a beautiful meditation—a few quiet moments to settle your breath, calm the mind, and arrive fully in the space. No pressure, just presence and heart open.
Lie back, breathe deeply, and let yourself drift into stillness. It begins with the gong—its low, rolling waves of sound ripple across the space, loosening tension and grounding you in the present. Then come the tubular bells: soft chimes like droplets of light, gently lifting your awareness, clearing the mind, creating space.
The crystal singing bowls follow, their clear, shimmering tones spiraling out and around you. Each note resonates through your body, harmonizing your energy and calming your nervous system. There’s no rush, no right way to feel. Just sound, silence, and the steady unwinding of everything you no longer need to carry.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and completely restored. Just show up—and let the sound do the rest.
We look forward to seeing you there, Mark & Jo.
A sound bath or gong bath meditation is a relaxing, immersive experience where you’re surrounded by soothing sounds and vibrations from instruments like gongs, crystal or Tibetan singing bowls, bells, chimes, or drums. You typically lie down or sit comfortably on a yoga mat or blanket in a calm, dimly lit space, letting the sounds “wash” over you—hence the term “bath.” There’s no water involved; it’s about being enveloped by the tones and vibrations.
In a gong bath, the focus is specifically on gongs, which produce deep, resonant sounds that can feel powerful and grounding. The facilitator plays the instruments in a way that creates a flow of harmonious or rhythmic vibrations. The goal is to help you relax, quiet your mind, and enter a meditative state. Many find it eases stress, clears mental fog, or even feels spiritually uplifting.
Research, like Goldsby et al. (2017), shows sound baths can reduce anxiety, improve mood, lessen physical pain, and boost spiritual well-being. Cai et al. (2025) note benefits like lower stress hormones and better sleep quality. It’s a low-effort way to unwind—no experience needed. Just bring a blanket, wear comfy clothes, and let the sounds do the work. People often leave feeling calm, centered, or refreshed.
