Alchemy Sound Bath Relaxation Class
July 17th; Salt on Main, Laurel
Quartz crystal singing bowls are thought to positively affect the human energy field by creating a sympathetic resonance between our minds, bodies, and sound wave vibrations produced by the bowls. The vibrations lower the frequency of brain waves to an alpha or theta state, states at which deep meditation and full-body relaxation naturally occur. A quieter mind, reduction in stress and improved quality of sleep are other benefits commonly experienced by sound bath participants. Enjoy deep relaxation with the addition of dry salt therapy in the Salt Barn!
