What is a Sound Bath?

A sound bath is a meditative experience that uses vibrational frequencies to guide the body and mind into a state of deep relaxation. Unlike traditional meditation or music, a sound bath immerses participants in therapeutic sounds from crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, chimes, and other harmonic instruments.
Research in psychoacoustics (the study of sound perception) suggests that sound baths can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, helping to reduce stress, improve focus, and support overall well-being.

The Science of Sound Healing

Sound therapy is based on resonance and entrainment—the principle that external sound waves can influence brainwave activity, gently shifting the mind into relaxed states. EEG studies show that sound therapy can help transition the brain from high-alert beta waves to restorative alpha and theta waves (Fachner et al., 2013).

A 2016 study in the Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine found that sound meditation significantly reduced tension, anxiety, and depression, while enhancing mental clarity and emotional balance. 

The Frequencies Used in This Sound Bath

432Hz – The Frequency of Harmony

• Known as the “harmonic intonation of nature,” 432Hz is said to align with the body’s natural rhythms.
• Research suggests that music tuned to 432Hz may lower heart rate and blood pressure, promoting a sense of calm and focus compared to standard 440Hz tuning.
• A study in the Journal of Music Therapy found that 432Hz music resulted in lower stress markers and deeper relaxation compared to other frequencies.

528Hz – The Frequency of Transformation

• Sometimes called the “love frequency” or the “DNA repair frequency”, 528Hz is associated with cellular healing and emotional well-being.
• A study in the Journal of Addiction Research & Therapy found that 528Hz sound exposure increased oxytocin levels, supporting stress relief and emotional connection. 
• Research in Ultrasonics Sonochemistry suggests that 528Hz may support cellular regeneration and mitochondrial health, which could enhance overall vitality.

What to Expect from This Experience

• Deep relaxation & stress relief: Sound frequencies help calm the nervous system, reducing physical and mental tension.
• Enhanced focus & mental clarity: By slowing down brainwave activity, sound baths can support better concentration and decision-making.
• A reset for mind and body: Many participants report feeling refreshed, more grounded, and re-energized after a session.
