This session focuses purely on the restorative power of sound and vibration, and does not include any additional energy work or tuning forks. Simply surrender to the luxurious musical journey as the instruments bathe you in tranquil sound waves. It’s the perfect experience for anyone seeking a serene and rejuvenating soundbath.

The Vibroacoustic sound beds and vibroacoustic Sound Loungers (added in 2024) offered by Ambient Sound Healing are designed to turn music into a tactile vibration that you can physically feel, enabling you to feel the musical notes in meditation music as a strong vibration. The sound and all vibration produced emanate from the bed itself, so headphones are not used.

The four beds are fully synchronized together, along with the four vibroacoustic Sound Loungers.

Vibroacoustic therapy positively affects every level of human health. Using this technology and synchronized sound waves with healing frequencies, vibrations are applied directly to the body, positively affecting at the cellular and molecular level. This creates an experience of total body relaxation.

During a session, you will immediately be able to feel the physical tactile vibrational frequencies through the bed as well as hear the same healing frequencies/music. The music or frequency played/felt throughout the bed is greatly complimented by the live playing of singing bowls, and other healing instruments.

The deep relaxation response begins between 10 minutes, and clients report feeling many pleasant sensations, emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Abstract thinking slows, and body and mind awareness expands. You can expect to experience warm, gentle vibrations throughout your body as the vibrations from the bed pan up and down the body. You may fall asleep and begin to experience clarity and relief of pain or symptoms, inducing a deep relaxation response.

During a session, you also receive a full live soundbath, which is discussed in further detail below.

It's important to note that sound baths aren't a replacement for proven treatments, but they can be considered a low-risk complement to any other methods you've been exploring with your doctor.

During a session, you will rest comfortably on one of our four vibroacoustic soundbeds, along with anyone else who is accompanying you. The soundbeds will be turned on, enabling you to feel their physical vibration. For the first 15 minutes, you will feel only the vibration of a 30-40hz sine note rippling from your head to your feet. This should lull you into a deep state of relaxation and also might help alleviate physical discomfort. After 15 minutes, specially selected meditation music will play through the soundbeds, providing you with the tactile experience of being able to physically feel every note in the composition.

Throughout the entire session, Rachel will be playing carefully selected sound healing instruments. Some of the instruments that can potentially be included are singing bowls, tuning tubes, a variety of chimes, rainsticks, ocean drum, and the gong. For a more inclusive list of potential instruments, please check out our traditional soundbath page.

At the end of the session, Rachel will gently and lovingly guide you back to full awareness.

During a session, the most common thing to happen, aside from feeling deeply relaxed, is falling asleep. This is because the sound healing instruments, and the carefully selected music and vibration through the table is calming your nervous system, and entraining your brainwaves into a state conducive to deep relaxation.

In addition to falling asleep, participants typically enter into a state of hypnagogia, which is the state between wakefulness and sleep. As a result, clients tend to see dream-like imagery or even have lucid dream-like experiences. Some clients find themselves going on spontaneous journeys. Another interesting common thing to happen is to lose track of time, which is a sign of entering into a deep trance. Clients also report feeling pain relief, euphoria, and sometimes clients also have an emotional release as they release old baggage and thought patterns. During this entire process, I will be holding space with the instruments.

This package is a 100% hands-off experience that does not include shamanic energy work or energetic tuning, aside from the many benefits the soundbed and the instruments provide. Additionally, singing bowls or tuning forks are not placed on the body .

Each soundbath is a unique experience, and private soundbaths are highly customizable. (Gongbath, for example)

While not every session features all instruments, here's a glimpse of what you may encounter:

- A vast collection of refined Crystal Quartz, Glass Alchemy, Himalayan, and Tibetan singing bowls, each carefully selected for its distinct qualities.

When played, it emits enchanting and ethereal tones that resonate with higher frequencies, creating a transformative and meditative ambiance. More than just a musical creation, the Singing Merkabah serves as a tool for spiritual exploration, aligning with higher states of consciousness and offering a unique experience for meditation and energy work.

- Solfeggio Tuning Tubes that are a unique take on traditional tuning forks, louder and ideal for soundbath settings, producing powerful and harmonious frequencies in various tones.

Its simple yet elegant design allows for a rich exploration of tones and harmonics, making it a versatile instrument often appreciated for its soothing and meditative qualities.

- The Euphone is an instrument characterized by metal bars, and its distinctive sound is created by running wet hands up and down these bars. This tactile and immersive playing technique produces resonant tones, creating binaural beats perfect for brainwave entrainment

- Metal Swing Chimes, also known as Chakraphone, are a distinctive musical instrument characterized by suspended metal tubes or bars. When struck or activated, these chimes produce a range of metallic sounds with varying pitches and harmonics. The swinging motion of the metal components adds a dynamic and visually engaging element to the auditory experience, creating an immersive and resonant atmosphere. The Chakraphone's melodic tones contribute to its appeal in sound healing and meditative practices.

These instruments, meticulously chosen, aim to create a serene environment, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms. They are believed to enhance sleep quality, stimulate creativity, and foster spiritual development by entraining brainwaves to a relaxed state, leading to reduced anxiety and stress levels and an increase in overall well-being.
