Our bodies are made up of approximately 60% water, and sound is a form of mechanical energy that travels through vibrations.
Sound waves travel through air, water and the tissues of our bodies. Different tissues transmit these vibrations in different ways, which helps explain why we can sometimes feel sound as well as hear it.
During a sound bath, instruments such as singing bowls and other resonant instruments create layers of tones and vibrations, offering the mind something gentle to focus on.
Research into sound-based meditation is still developing, but early studies suggest that singing bowl sessions may help reduce feelings of tension and anxiety and encourage relaxation.
And then there's the Yin.
Longer-held, supported shapes give us an opportunity to slow down, notice our breathing and reduce the constant stream of stimulation we experience throughout the day.
Gentle movement, comfortable stillness and slow breathing can all support the body's relaxation response.
Combine this with the immersive sounds of a sound bath, and we create a lovely environment for both body and mind to unwind.
It's not about forcing yourself to relax.
It's about creating the conditions where relaxation becomes a little easier.
