Sound Bath Under the Oaks

Sound Bath in the Oaks

What is a sound bath? A sound bath takes us on a restorative journey through sound. It is a practice that utilizes sound vibrations to activate the senses allowing the body to rest, absorb and heal. Sound has a unique healing element to it as each musical note relates to a certain energy center (chakra) within and surrounding our bodies. Our bodies are similar to those of instruments in that as time progresses, we can become “out of tune”, so to speak and in need of recalibration or simply, a “tune-up”. As we sink into the meditation, our body’s energy centers are washed over by healing sounds, clearing the subconscious of energetic and emotional blockages, while nourishing each individual cell inside our body. Sound is vibration and medicine. Researchers have found that wounds exposed to vibration five times a week for 30 minutes healed more quickly than wounds in mice of a control group. Wounds exposed to vibration formed more granulation tissue, a type of tissue important early in the wound-healing process.

Shawanda Marie will create a sacred sound healing space for you to relax and indulge in an outdoor sound bath session intended to cleanse, ground and recharge your energy. Sound vibration invites our bodies, mind and soul to optimal states of relaxation, peace and wellbeing. During the sound bath Shawanda will use singing bowls and other healing instruments to shift your energy and state of being. All you need to do is lay in silence, the singing bowls and instruments will do the rest.
