What's a sound bath?

A sound bath is a relaxing practice that usually involves lying down comfortably and allowing the soothing sounds and vibrations made by instruments, such as singing bowls, gongs, and chimes, to wash over you.

People use them as an easy shortcut to deep meditation, to help clear their mind, release tension, reduce stress, improve sleep and promote overall well-being.

The Science

Although more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms behind the benefits of sound baths, several studies demonstrate their potential as a therapeutic tool:

Participants in one study reported reduced anxiety, depression symptoms and physical pain.

Another study points to singing bowl meditation's potential to benefit cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure and heart rate.

And this study suggests that singing bowl sound may effectively activate theta brain waves, supporting meditation and relaxation.
