This 2-hour sound bath brings together elements of two of our usually separate meditations, the Himalayan Brainwave Bowl Meditation and the Gong & Sound Journey, into one continuous, uninterrupted experience.

🎶 Himalayan Brainwave Bowls
These singing bowls were hand-picked across Nepal for their specific tones and frequencies. When certain bowls are played together, their closely matched frequencies create deep, rhythmic acoustic pulses known as monaural beats.

The deeper, grounding tones of the Himalayan bowls are complemented by the more ethereal, floating tones of the Brainwave Bowls, creating an immersive, almost hypnotic soundscape that can encourage the mind to slow and settle towards a deeply relaxed, meditative state.

🚀 Gong & Sound Journey
From there, the soundscape may expand through three powerful gongs, each with its own character, vibration and range of frequencies, alongside other instruments including ocean drum, Koshi chimes, shell chimes, meditation flow chimes, rain pillar and chakapa.

Rather than two separate sessions, the sounds are woven together into one longer journey. I often begin with the bowls, allowing the sound to gradually build and take you deeper into the journey, before returning again to the bowls towards the end, gently bringing the experience back down and into stillness.

No two sessions are ever exactly the same, and the journey is allowed to unfold naturally on the day.

People often report feeling deeply relaxed afterwards, with some saying they sleep better than they have for a while, while others leave feeling energised and full of vigour. Some also report a sense of physical release, with tension or aches feeling eased as their body and mind begin to let go.

Whatever your personal experience, this is two hours to step away from the noise and demands of everyday life, lie back, listen and allow yourself to be carried by the sound.
