What is a Sound Meditation? A Beginner’s Guide

A sound meditation (or sound bath) is a mindful experience that uses sound vibrations to promote relaxation and healing. Whether you’re new to sound therapy or curious about its benefits, this guide will walk you through what to expect.

What is a Sound Meditation?
During a sound meditation, participants rest in a comfortable position and listen to a series of sounds produced by instruments like crystal bowls, gongs, and chimes. The vibrations help the body enter a deep state of relaxation, much like meditation.
