What Are Sound Baths?
A sound bath is a mind and body relaxation therapy that has attracted a lot of attention in recent years.

Sound baths are given by people who have been trained in this field and can use the instruments in the right frequency band.
We know the healing effects of frequencies on the human mind. After all, we humans are composed of frequencies of matter. The theory of sound baths goes that these frequencies vibrate at a ‘core’ frequency and oscillate in harmony in our minds.
Sound bathing is usually done as a complementary meditative practice after meditation and yoga. The participants lie on their backs or sit in a relaxed position and then immerse themselves in the harmonic dance of the sounds.
The sounds heard during the sound bath do not have any melody or harmony. Instruments played at different frequencies usually reach your ears and then to your mind, repeatedly and at regular intervals.
A sound bath is a healing agent that reportedly has helped many with anxiety, stress, and depression and appears to be going from strength to strength, reaching similar popularity as meditation and yoga.
How Does a Sound Bath Work?
Sound healing has been used in cultural societies for thousands of years. The power of sound is actually present everywhere we look, but, many refrute the ability to heal emotional wounds with sound because we have difficulty in realizing what we cannot see.
But sound healing, believe it or not, can really work – according to those who try it, but even if you have set foot in a sound bath, most people recognize that music has an ability to alter your emotional state.
Some say that this is due to the power of frequency. The application of a sound bath is done meticulously by a professional practitioner with various instruments that have been carefully selected to generate soothing and calming frequencies and repeat these frequencies in response to the participant.
In this way, while your mind is experiencing a fresh relaxation, you also experience the serenity of slowing the mind and calming your thoughts – distracted by the sounds.
There is no past or future in this session, you are encouraged to remain focused on the moment and experience the serenity of the present.

Some participants said they also experienced physical recovery for bodily injuries after a few months of regular sound baths.
A sound wave is a frequency, that can constructively heal us when the right harmonics are pressed or a single frequency is played. Medical PEMF machines work using the same logic, and some factories even use sound to cut soft objects, like packaged sandwiches.
