We’re excited to announce our latest wellness offering at Banya No.1 – Hoxton: the Sound Bath Ritual! In this post, we’ll explore the therapeutic practice of sound healing and sound bath, and how it beautifully complements our exhilarating thermal experience, ensuring a holistic and transformative after-effect.
What is Sound Healing?
Sound healing is a therapeutic practice that harnesses the power of sound and vibrations to enhance your holistic wellness. It involves the intentional use of various instruments, such as gongs and singing bowls, to create soothing and resonant sounds. These sounds are designed to create a harmonious atmosphere for relaxation and meditation, promoting a sense of inner calm and balance.
What is a Sound Bath?
A sound bath, on the other hand, is a captivating and immersive experience that is a subset of sound healing. During a sound bath, a skilled practitioner utilises healing sounds and vibrations from instruments like gongs and singing bowls to envelop you completely. This creates a tranquil and meditative ambiance that not only soothes your soul but also revitalises your spirit. It’s a unique experience that is particularly well-suited for mindfulness meditation, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the therapeutic soundscape.
