What is a sound bath? A sound bath is a small gathering of people in a yoga studio, or perhaps a hall of some kind. You make yourself comfortable amidst all the judgmental walls of mirrors as the instructor wheels out an army of gongs. Then you start breathing and he starts slamming these gongs like a child slams his hands in a swimming pool. Very quickly you will be annihilated by the roaring sounds of these instruments. So loud. Anxiety floods in like a white river. Goodbye. If you have taken ayahuasca you will recognize the quiet voice that admonishes to itself: “what have I done.”
