"The Medicine of the future will be Music and Sound"

-Edgar Cayce

A sound bath is a deeply immersive, meditative experience where participants are “bathed” in soothing vibrations to promote relaxation, healing, and balance. At Ekhos Sound Healing, I use crystal singing bowls to create a soundscape that helps quiet the mind, release tension, and restore harmony to the body’s energy centers. The rich, resonant tones of the bowls work on a vibrational level, supporting the nervous system, reducing stress, and enhancing mindfulness. Whether you're seeking emotional release, clarity, or deep relaxation, a sound bath offers a gentle yet powerful way to reset and realign. All you need to do is lie back, breathe, and allow the sound to wash over you, bringing you into a state of peace and well-being.

What is a Sound Bath?

Sound as Healing

Sound healing is an ancient practice that dates back thousands of years, with roots in various cultures around the world. Early civilizations, including the Egyptians, Greeks, and Indigenous peoples, used sound and vibration as a tool for healing and spiritual connection. In ancient Egypt, priests used chanting and sound rituals to promote physical and emotional well-being. Greek philosopher Pythagoras, often called the "father of music therapy," believed in the healing properties of musical intervals and used sound to restore balance in the body.

In Eastern traditions, Tibetan monks developed singing bowls, and Hindus used mantras and chants like Om to enhance meditation and healing. Indigenous cultures worldwide incorporated drumming, chanting, and flute music in ceremonies to promote healing and connection with nature. In the 20th century, scientific studies began validating the therapeutic effects of sound, leading to the modern integration of techniques like binaural beats, crystal singing bowls, and gong baths in wellness and healthcare. Today, sound healing continues to evolve, combining ancient wisdom with modern research to support relaxation, stress relief, and overall well-being.
