Sound Bath in Galway – Deep Rest with Gongs & Singing Bowls
Sound Magic Ireland offers professionally facilitated, trauma-sensitive sound bath sessions in Galway, designed to support deep rest, nervous system regulation, and stress relief.
These sessions use carefully chosen instruments and mindful guidance to create a safe, grounding space for rest, reflection, and relaxation.
A sound bath is a guided relaxation and meditation session where you simply lie down, get comfortable, and allow the soothing sounds of gongs, Himalayan singing bowls, handpans, chimes, and melodic instruments to carry you into deep rest.
Unlike other approaches, we do not use crystal bowls. Our focus is on gongs, Himalayan singing bowls, handpans, rav vasts, solfeggio pipes, and other melodic instruments, creating rich layers of sound and vibration that the whole body can feel.
What is a Sound Bath?
A sound bath is a guided relaxation experience where participants lie down comfortably while listening to live sounds from instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and melodic instruments like handpans.
The sounds are not played as music, but as a continuous sound environment that supports stillness, awareness, and deep rest.
A sound bath is not a performance or concert. It is a passive meditation and deep relaxation practice that supports the body and nervous system.
