I am very excited about this wellness center located just off Gemini Parkway, across from Ikea. The…read morehour-long sound bath is an absolute delight. Lisa (owner) has curated a wonderland of auditory and vibrational sensations, including gongs, chimes, woodwinds, bells, voice, and techno devices that lead you seamlessly on an experience of body and spirit. It was a great way to completely release for an hour, and I can only imagine how great it would be to do this on a regular basis. I have signed up for the drum class and can't wait to experience it!
To start, the Sound Room is super easy to access, just off I-71 at Gemini Pkwy. There is tons of parking. The Sound Room is accessed by elevator on the 3rd floor of the office building in which it is housed. There are cubbies to stash your stuff--leave your phones and smart watches outside of the Sound Room in the secure lobby. You enter the large Room which is ringed by padded chaise-lounge type chairs, and decorated in a relaxing, zen, soothing and low-key style. Once the lights are dimmed, the room is lit only by candlelight (from LED candles, of course!). Each participant relaxes comfortably (and fully clothed) on their lounge chair, with optional throw blankets and bolsters to ensure complete comfort.
The journey begins with a meditative narration which is accompanied by a series of sounds, which I can only describe as having sensations and textures. Each ensuing minute draws you deeper into relaxation. I was able to just let go, not even really listening to every word, but just coasting on the soothing vibrations of the experience. As the moments flow, you are treated to a 'bath' of sound, as Lisa weaves a tapestry you both hear and feel. Nothing actually 'touches' your body, but I can tell you that you feel the very lovely sensation of each sound frequency if you are attuned to it. The 60 minutes goes by surprisingly quickly.
If you have any hesitations about this experience, I assure you, there is nothing to fear. This experience is appropriate for individuals of all backgrounds, beliefs, and perspectives. It is mainly about letting go, relaxing, and 'feeling' these sounds and vibrations in your body. There are no shocks, surprises, or scares here. I left feeling tingly, soothed, and refreshed. This is something for anyone who is interested in experiencing something that fully engages the senses.
Thanks, Lisa!
