Experience and Benefits
Though the private sound bath promises to help participants disconnect from daily life and reconnect with themselves, the core experience and benefits warrant a more practical consideration.
The ceremonial cacao is touted as a "heart-opening medicine" with cognitive benefits, but its effects are subjective and anecdotal.
The progressive relaxation and sound concert aim to induce deep relaxation, stress reduction, and a sense of well-being. This is achieved through the activation of theta brain waves and stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is supported by scientific evidence.
Scientific Basis
The scientific basis behind the private sound bath experience centers on the effects of vibrations from the singing bowls. The vibrations activate theta brain waves, stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system – the "rest and digest" mode.
This triggers the release of feel-good chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, while dampening pain signals. The result is a profound sense of well-being and relaxation.
Studies show the healing benefits of sound therapy, including reduced stress, improved sleep, and increased focus.
