A **sound bath** is a meditative experience where participants are "bathed" in sound waves produced by various instruments, such as **singing bowls, gongs, chimes, tuning forks, and other resonant instruments.** These sound waves are believed to help induce deep relaxation, reduce stress, and promote a sense of well-being.
### What Happens in a Sound Bath?
- **Setting**: Typically conducted in a serene, dimly lit environment where participants lie down or sit comfortably.
- **Facilitator**: A trained sound therapist or practitioner leads the session, creating layers of harmonic sounds.
- **Experience**: The vibrations and tones resonate throughout the space, helping participants enter a meditative, restful state.
- **Duration**: Sessions usually last between 30 minutes to an hour or more.
