Sound Bath online - Is it possible to have a good sound experience online?
During the lock down many sound practicioners started to introduce sound baths online. It took us many months to make sure that the recording equipment we have is at the highest quality and can provide the best experience for online participants.
Because gongs are a particular instruments it is important to have knowladge and training in recording such instruments.
We are working with the sound engineer and have developed the best way to provide such online sessions. Although it is a different experience than in the presence of those sounds it still can be an amazing one.
It is important to use a good quality speakers or headphones when you listen to it, as listening from the smartphone speaker or poor quality laptop speaker will effect the sound.
All you need to do is to find a quiet space and make yourself comfortable, close your eyes and enjoy the relaxing sounds.
After the session you can go straight to sleep or take your time in waking up your body slowly, and coming back to your daily activities gently and slowly.
You should not listen to those sessions while you are driving, as it may effect your concentration and it is not safe.
