A sound bath is an immersive experience where you go deep within your subconscious using meditation and brain entrainment.

For humans, our vibration is the key indicator of our overall health and wellbeing. Emotions such as stress and negativity can create blockages in the body that prevent the healthy flow of Qi, and thus, lowering our healthy vibrational frequencies, and making the cells vibrate out of harmony.

Because we hear not only with the ears, but the skin and bones as well, the vibrational effects and the harmonic sounds can influence every aspect of the body including brain states.

Vibration occurs at different levels of consciousness and this is where the tools of sound and meditation come into play. Tibetan Singing bowls emit overtone frequencies that help our brain to drop into the Theta brainwave state. In this dream-like state, our bodies are able to do it's own internal healing; helping us to access and become aware of our unconscious limiting habits and beliefs- and ultimately allowing us to surrender into our natural state of love and one-ness.

A Sound Bath Meditation with Wakeup Dreamer is a very gentle, yet powerful modality to treat the body and the mind, and to restore inner balance and health.

This type of natural tuning works with the nervous system, tissues, and the more subtle energies of the body. The nervous system is our interface with the outside world, an incredibly sophisticated and wonderful instrument that deserves good tuning as often as possible.
