What is a sound bath?

A sound bath is a meditative experience where you lie down and close your eyes while vibrations from singing bowls, gongs, and voice wash over you for about an hour. Most people fall asleep at least a little — that's the point. No movement, chanting, or effort is required.

How much does a sound bath cost?

Group sound bath sessions in most US cities range from $20 to $60 per session. Private sessions can run $100–$300 depending on the practitioner and duration. Walk-in and advance booking prices are usually similar.

Q: What should I bring to a sound bath?

Arrive ten minutes early — most spaces lock the door once the session begins. Bring socks, a water bottle, and an open mind. Mats and blankets are typically provided.

Your first dip.

A sound bath isn't a workout, a class, or a performance. You lie down. You close your eyes. Vibrations from bowls, gongs, and voice wash over you for an hour. Most people fall asleep at least a little — that's the point.

Arrive ten minutes early. Most spaces lock the door once the session begins. Bring socks, a water bottle, an open mind.

Lie down. That's it. Mats and blankets are provided. You won't be asked to move, chant, or do anything. Just breathe.

Surface slowly afterward. Don't rush back into the day. Walk home. Drink water. Take a note if something rose up.
