Thanksgiving Sound Bath: Gratitude & Ancestral Healing

Celebrate the spirit of Thanksgiving with our Gratitude Sound Bath! As we wrap ourselves in the warmth of gratitude, we’ll journey through a soundscape of crystal bowls, chimes, and gentle rhythms, each note guiding us to reflect on the abundance in our lives.

Studies show that practicing gratitude regularly can have profound effects on our mental and physical well-being. Research published in the Journal of Positive Psychology suggests that daily acts of gratitude can reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and even enhance relationships by fostering a greater sense of connection. Another study from the National Institutes of Health has found that gratitude practices stimulate areas of the brain associated with dopamine release, promoting positive emotions and an overall sense of contentment.

This experience is about opening your heart to receive and express thanks, embracing the simple joys and blessings that fill our days. Cozy up with a blanket, and let’s share this sacred moment of reflection and connection.

WHAT IS A SOUND BATH?

A sound bath is a meditative experience where people are "bathed" in sound waves produced by various overtone-emitting instruments, including singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and more. During a sound bath, people lie down and listen to resonant sounds, allowing their brain waves to slow and shift from a more active state to a more relaxed or dreamlike state. The goal of the experience is to invite deep rest and relaxation, explore self-inquiry and self-discovery, and help people let go of stress, anxiety, or other worries. A sound bath is typically a way of managing anxiety, soothing the nervous system, and blocking all the ideas and thoughts out of your consciousness as you connect with your body.

Our sound baths may include the following instruments: over 70 Crystal Singing Bowls & Tibetan Singing Bowls (including 5 sets of Chakra Tuned Singing Bowls), Crystal Quartzophone Harp, Zaphir Chimes, Bar Chimes, Flutes, Rain Stick, Buffalo Drum, Ocean Drum, Steel Tongue Drum, Handpans, Kalimba, Tingshas and other traditional instruments from around the world.

WHAT TO BRING:

If possible, we ask that you please bring your own blanket or bedsheet to cover our cushioned floor mats. No yoga mat needed! We can provide these items for you if you're unable to bring them. Please dress comfortably, bring water, and eat beforehand.

For the best experience and to ensure a harmonious start for all participants, we kindly request your timely arrival. Your punctuality is greatly appreciated.

MEDICAL NOTICE, PLEASE READ:

If you have any serious medical condition (i.e. metal in the body/brain injury, tinnitus, epilepsy, metal in the body, etc...) make sure you get written permission from your doctor allowing your attendance of a live sound bath. The reason being that some conditions do not take well to the strong vibrations of sound baths. Additionally, please inform Gigi of your condition before joining us at our sound bath, thank you!
