There's no set frequency for attending sound baths. Some people attend weekly, while others may go monthly or just occasionally. Listen to your body and mind, and attend as often as feels right for you.

Question 10

Can I do a sound bath at home?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can do a sound bath at home using sound recordings or by learning to play instruments commonly used in sound baths, such as singing bowls or gongs. However, the experience might differ from a live session due to the presence and skill of a live practitioner and the energy of a group setting. 
You can also group with friends and family and invite me to play in your favourite setting.

Question 11

Are there any side effects or things to be aware of after a sound bath?

Accepted Answer

Most people feel relaxed and at ease after a sound bath. However, it's possible to feel a bit disoriented or emotional, as the sound frequencies can stir up subconscious thoughts or feelings. It's important to give yourself time to transition back to your routine and drink plenty of water.
