You will have heard of the sound baths with traditional instruments designed for meditation and relaxation. Today from Sincronia Yoga we tell you the benefits of the sound baths for body and mind.
What are sound baths?
Sound baths are a journey of the senses. It is a method of deep relaxation and release of the subconscious based on vibration and sound.
The therapist, musician or bathroom facilitator, use different instruments both traditional and medicinal to bring practitioners to a deep state of relaxation. In a sound bath you will find Tibetan bowls made of different materials, gongs, wind chimes, chimes, etc.
Everything is designed so that the sound passes through you and you immerse yourself in the bath of waves and waves of sound that will go through your body. If you imagine the human body made up of bones, muscles, tissue and above all water, you will see how sound can make us vibrate inside, almost at a cellular level.
Sound baths allow the mind a disconnection deep.
The sound during baths does not only enter through the ears but all over the skin, becoming a great receiver, like when we were floating in our mother's womb. The sound passes through the skin and the body vibrates and feels.
This is why some sound baths are performed by putting the practitioner in direct contact with the bowl or on a specialized stretcher with ropes that transmit vibration to the body.
Let's see what are the benefits of sound baths.
