When people first hear the words sound bath, they sometimes imagine water, baths, and bubbles — but don’t worry, you won’t need your swimsuit for this one! 🧘‍♀️

A sound bath is all about bathing your mind and body in beautiful, calming sounds. It’s like giving your nervous system a gentle hug while you lie down, relax, and simply let the sounds wash over you.

At Positivity Mind Body and Soul CIC, we hold monthly sound baths as part of our wellness sessions — and they’ve quickly become one of our most loved events. If you’ve ever wondered what a sound bath is all about, here’s a little peek:

So… What Actually Happens at a Sound Bath?

It’s wonderfully simple:

You arrive and settle in (most people lie down on a mat with a blanket and cushion to get extra cosy).
The lights are soft, the space is calm, and you’re gently guided to relax and breathe.
Then the sounds begin: gongs, singing bowls, chimes, and other instruments create gentle waves of vibration.
All you have to do is rest and allow the sounds to do their thing!

That’s it. No effort, no tricky poses, no “doing” — just being.

What Does It Feel Like?

Everyone’s experience is a little different — and that’s the beauty of it! Some people feel deeply relaxed, others drift into a dreamy state, and some even have little bursts of creative ideas pop into their mind. Many people say they feel lighter, calmer, and more peaceful afterwards.

The sound waves work through your body and mind, helping to settle busy thoughts, ease tension, and invite a lovely sense of calm.

Why Try a Sound Bath?

Here are just a few gentle benefits people often share:

🌿 A chance to deeply relax🌿 Helps quiet busy, racing thoughts🌿 Can ease stress and anxiety🌿 Supports better sleep🌿 A lovely way to give your mind and body a break

And one of the best parts? You don’t need any experience or knowledge — just an open mind and a willingness to slow down for a little while.

A Safe, Welcoming Space Just for You

Our CIC sound baths are designed with real life in mind — whether you’re feeling frazzled, exhausted, curious, or simply in need of a little time for yourself, you’ll be warmly welcomed.

You don’t need to know anyone, you don’t need to have done anything like it before — you can just show up exactly as you are.
