What is Sound Healing
The Theory
The Experience
The Experience
Life is experienced through vibrations emitted through different frequencies. During a sound bath, harmony can be achieved when these exogenous vibrations produced by specialized instruments interact with our endogenous vibrations.
Gong vibrations trigger the release of neurotransmitters related to memory and learning, while crystal and Tibetan bowls help shift brainwaves from Beta to relaxed Theta. The overall vibrations reduce inflammation, activating the body's natural healing pathways.
All-in-all, sound baths effect multiple bodily systems leading to a cascade of benefits.

The Experience
Using sound for healing is a timeless, cross-cultural practice.
While it may vary, each session typically includes a somatic practice to prepare the body and mind for stillness. Participants will then lie on their backs with their heads toward the gongs or sit. Comfort items such as pillows, blankets, mats, bolsters, blocks, and eye covers are encouraged. Participants are brought out of the bath with care and the session ends with an integration practice.
Since every body and mind is unique, each sound bath experience differs. Many report deep relaxation, calm, and tranquility, though emotional responses vary, and not all baths lead to the same outcomes.

Haṭha Yoga
Haṭha Yoga
The Benefits
Haṭha Yoga, with origins dating back to the 11th century CE, centers on awakening vital energy through the central channel of the subtle body. This alignment of physical and energetic systems supports Kundalinī rising leading to deeper states of consciousness (samādhi), where one connects more fully with the True Self.
Practices include cleansing techniques, āsanas, breathwork (prāṇāyāma and kumbhakas), and energy seals (mudrā/bandhas). At The Sound Apothecary, we use this approach to prepare participants for their sound journey.
Nāda Yoga
Haṭha Yoga
Nāda Yoga
“If you want to know the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Nikola Tesla’s insight resonates deeply with Nāda Yoga—a practice of deep listening to the subtle sounds of nature and the body’s inner resonance.
It draws attention to two types of sound: ahad (struck) and anahad (unstruck). Through practices like soundbaths, mantra, bhramari prāṇāyāma, and resting in silence, one tunes into the eternal hum of anahad—the universal vibration that permeates everything.
