I had my first sound bath about a year ago, we were out of lockdown for the summer and I was lucky enough to experience the relaxing wellness practice in person. It started off like a massage, but I remained fully dressed and the masseuse never actually touched me â instead, I was enveloped in the melodic sounds produced by her rubbing a small mallet around the edge of a number of singing bowls, which at one point were placed on my body, so I could benefit from further vibrations. And then an hour later, I was awoken from a sleep-like slumber by gentle chimes. Iâm not sure it did anything for the sore shoulder Iâd told the therapist about ahead of my session, but it certainly lifted my mood, left me feeling invigorated for the rest of the day, and it might have been behind the first good nightâs sleep Iâd had in days. Iâve since had two online sessions too â each has been equally enjoyable. ....
