Each sound healing retreat is totally unique with the individual healer, their instruments, the location and the practices offered all having an effect on your transformational journey. Whichever sound healing retreat you choose, you’re sure to be in for a relaxing and restorative experience.
Singing Bowls/Gong Sound Healing
Sound healing retreats may solely focus on sound baths, with crystal singing bowls or gongs rung in such a way that you are guided towards a euphoric meditative state. These sound healing retreats focus on the power of vibration, using frequencies to help us re-harmonise with our true selves. These are some of the most peaceful and relaxing sound healing retreats and even a session a short as one or two hours can have a profound effect on your balance and wellbeing.
Kirtan/Chanting Sound Healing
Other sound healing retreats might include more interactive ‘call and response’ chanting, also known as kirtan. This again uses vibrations and frequencies – this time of the voice – but it also taps into the power of repetition and community spirit. Kirtan is a form of Bhakti Yoga (devotional yoga) and it aids us in reaching a higher state of consciousness which connects us to the divine and everything around us.
Sacred Ratio Sound Healing
Some retreats even use Sacred Ratio Pythagorean Tuning Forks known for creating the ‘sacred fifth’ ratio which is believed to soothe and balance your body, brain and spirit as well as elevating your level of consciousness. These retreats tap into sonic energy to help align our nervous system and bring deep relaxation.
