Often referred to as sound bath, sound healing, or sound therapy, sound meditation involves focusing on sounds to anchor the mind and reduce distractions. These sounds can range from natural ones, like ocean waves or rain, to specific meditation sounds created with instruments such as singing bowls, chimes, gongs and many other.


By placing your attention on these sounds, you help facilitate meditation, contemplation, self-reflection and mindfulness.

By immersing yourself in sound, you create an opportunity for personal growth and a deeper understanding of consciousness. To realign, reconnect, and gain new perspectives. It's a powerful way to nurture transformation and cultivate a heightened sense of awareness and attention.


At its heart, sound meditation is about deep listening—being open and receptive to the sounds you are listening to and the emotions they evoke. It encourages active engagement with what you hear, fostering observation, curiosity, intention, and creativity.


OVERTONE EMITTING INSTRUMENTS

Overtone emitting instruments play a crucial role in sound meditation. These instruments produce multiple harmonic frequencies, known as overtones, that resonate within the body and mind, promoting a deep sense of relaxation and inner peace. The vibrations from these instruments can help synchronize brainwaves, leading to a meditative state that is both calming and restorative.
