Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most commonly asked questions to prepare for a sound session, any special considerations and best practices.
How does Sound help with stress and burnout?
Sound healing uses frequencies, rhythms, and vibrations to support the body's natural ability to find balance and recalibrate its energy field. The vibrations can stimulate the nervous system, slow heart rate, reduce blood pressure, and help sync brainwaves, heart rate, and breath through a process called entrainment.
What should I wear for a session? Do I bring anything?
Comfortable clothes of any type. Mats may be provided but additional blankets, eye pillows or bolsters are recommended to build a nest.
Is it Safe for Everyone?
It is not recommended for individuals with epilepsy, severe mental health disorders, or those in the first trimester of pregnancy.
Is this similar to yoga?
No training or practice is required. Guests are invited to rest comfortably while sound does the work. Many people who struggle to “quiet the mind” find this approach effortless. It is similar to shavasana at the end of a yoga class and a yoga mat is used.
