sound baths

Meditative acoustic experience

A sound bath is a meditative practice where participants lie down while a practitioner plays resonant instruments—typically singing bowls, gongs, or chimes—creating sustained tones meant to induce relaxation.

The term evokes immersion: you're bathed in sound rather than water.

I went to a sound bath at the yoga studio and fell asleep within minutes.
