Sound bath - not a miracle tool 🪄
I’ve been attending sound bath’s since 2024 and it has helped me in many ways that I could never imagine.
I went through a really tough phase in 2024 where I was very lost in life, constantly seeking for directions, very hurt and very desperate to cling onto anything that I could hold on to - sillily thinking that it will relieve me of some heaviness or weight I was feeling.
I had a job but it felt like a dead weight and I was constantly drained by it.
I was in… for a lack of better word “situationships” (I’m still trying to get used to the Gen Z lingo as I don’t want to downplay the situation) which did me no good. I mean duh, it’s a situationship after all. Of course it won’t do me good, especially since I’m someone who values commitment and consistency.
When I saw an influencer post about sound bath, I felt compelled towards it even though I had no freaking idea about it and what does it do. All I know is that I love singing bowls and it will probably help me relax. With that level of naiveness, I went for my first sound bath session.
I don’t remember much physical details, but I remember feeling less tired after my first session, and I managed to calm the anxious soul of mine. It didn’t heal me or make every emotion that I was feeling go away instantly, but it gave me a slight wave of calmness and I cherished it.
Throughout 2024, I went for more sound baths and also did one to one mentoring with my then life coach who was the one conducting the sound baths. I was still lost and I couldn’t understand the terms that they used in the sessions such as “feeling empowered” or “being in your feminine energy.”
Truth be told, I can’t even explain what it means to be in your feminine energy as concretely or precisely as I would like it to be as I still struggle with the concept of it. All I know is that if you have been holding it in for too long, you got to let some shit go and allow yourself to be in your feels. For me, I figured that it was letting go of control.
I obsess over control as if it ran my life and I only just realised and learned that I shouldn’t be living this way.
I’m a deeply spiritual and intuitive person, and I feel that the latest sound bath session that I attended came to me at the right timing of my life. I totally forgot about sound bath throughout 2025 and I never even had a single thought about it - never saw any post or anyone talking about it online or in person.
Anyways, all I want to share is that if you believe in spirituality, energy frequency etc. or have the slightest interest in it, don’t judge yourself for it and give sound bath a try. It won’t heal your traumas or take away your burdens instantly, but it will help you understand yourself better through guided meditation.
Please also do yourself a favour and ask around for reviews of the sound bath session you are attending. I think it is so important to be aware of what you are getting into (aka how the session is structured) so that you won’t get a shock of your life or feel uncomfortable.
No matter what you do to help yourself heal, always make sure that you feel safe and comfortable.
I love you all and I hope that this sharing of mine will give you a glimpse of hope that attaining peace, healing and self compassion is not far away 🤍
Sound baths, at their core, use soothing vibrations from instruments like singing bowls to create a deeply relaxing atmosphere. These vibrations are believed to help reduce stress and promote mindfulness. From my experience attending various sessions, the most powerful effect was a gentle calming of my overactive mind rather than instant healing of emotional wounds. Importantly, sound baths are most effective when integrated with other practices like meditation, coaching, or therapy, which can help you process emotions and develop self-awareness. If you’re curious about trying sound baths, I suggest approaching them with an open but grounded mindset — think of them as a supportive tool rather than a miracle cure. Before attending, try to learn about the facilitator’s style and session structure by reading reviews or asking questions. This helps ensure the environment feels safe and comfortable, allowing you to fully relax and embrace vulnerability — something I found essential during my healing phases. A concept that repeatedly came up during my sessions was "embracing vulnerability" alongside ideas like "feminine energy" — phrases that might feel abstract but essentially mean allowing yourself to release control and openly experience your emotions. For many, this can be challenging but ultimately rewarding. It’s also useful to remember that the effects of sound baths can vary widely depending on your mental and emotional state at the time. Some sessions may bring immediate relief, others subtle shifts that grow over time. Giving yourself multiple sessions and combining sound baths with journaling or mindfulness can deepen self-compassion and healing. Ultimately, my journey showed me that the true value of sound baths lies in fostering awareness and moments of inner peace amid life’s chaos. If you resonate with energy frequency or spiritual practices, I encourage you not to judge your curiosity but instead explore it gently while prioritizing your wellbeing and comfort.
