The days — and nights — of sound baths being for the far-out and love-in crowd are over.
Sound practitioner Eric Mellgren explains the sequence of events to the guests of Nancy Heim before beginning a sound bath at her Beverly Hills home in May.
One reason for their popularity is that sound baths are a healthy alternative to a calorie-laden and alcohol-infused night out. I was a sound bath virgin when my friend Alexandra Wagner,in Venice, suggested we check one out at our local yoga studio, Surya, on a Saturday night. At first, I was like, “What, no cocktails?” But once we were lying down under cozy blankets, having to do absolutely nothing but listen to the gong and singing bowls like a journey to center of the soul, I was hooked .
The feel-good nature of sound baths can be habit-forming itself. Susy Schieffelin, who leads sound baths on the beach in Venice and Malibu in addition to sold-out crowds inside studios such as Unplug, says sound baths helped her on her path to sobriety. When she was living in New York and working in “luxury lifestyle management, like a fancy version of a concierge for places like the residences at the Plaza” she would arrange high-end dinners and travel for clients.
“My whole mind-set of opening this space is to connect people again to each other and to themselves,” Panbehchi added. To that end, she often combines sound baths with breathwork and reiki, adding, “If you want to have a high experience, try breathwork.” And just because you’re going to lie down with your eyes closed doesn’t mean you have to go alone. Taking a friend, partner, family member or date can be a fun, social activity.
