Services ~ Sound Baths

Located in the Charleston area on Johns Island, Zen Den Vitality offers you two unique wellness services in a serene studio atmosphere: Private Appointment Crystal Singing Bowl Sound Baths and PEMF Mat Therapy

If you’ve never experienced one before, a Sound Bath is a delightful, relaxing, restorative experience unlike any other.  Let me describe for you what typically happens in one of our Sound Bath Therapy sessions.  You arrive for your appointment comfortably dressed – yoga clothing or light sweat pants are ideal. To be sure you won’t become chilled you may bring with you a favorite throw blanket, as your body temperature may become cooler during the session. For extra comfort you could bring an eye pillow if you’d like.  You will recline on one of my comfortable chaise lounges to allow your body’s full relaxation. After asking you a few questions about how you’re feeling, I’ll offer the names of a few compositions I think you would most benefit from, and then let you select the name of the one I will play for you – the rest is up to me.

The lighting ambiance of my studio will be soft and the room temperature comfortable. You may hear the ticking of the clock or the trickling of my water fountain as I begin to play.  Once you’re settled, I’ll ask you to focus on your breathing, close your eyes and simply just listen. You may experience random thoughts as you resist relaxing for which I’ll encourage you dismiss them lightly and to return to your breath. I advise that unbeknownst to you, once your body starts relaxing, your muscles may involuntarily twitch, which might startle you back to the present or, you might even begin to snore, both of which are entirely normal and nothing to be embarrassed about.  It’s OK, just:  Let…..It…..Go!

As you delight in the soothing sounds of my Crystal Singing Bowls, your body will gently begin to release tension, your breathing and heart rate will slow, and you may even appear to fall asleep. Likely, what you’ll experience, is your mind’s descension into a semi-present meditative state while transferring from Beta Brain Wave mode to Alpha Brain Wave mode. You may even, should you become extremely relaxed, enter Theta Brain Wave mode, which is affiliated with light sleep and deep meditation, especially if you opt for a one-hour session. All the while, I will continue to play my beautiful bowls quietly leaving you entirely undisturbed.

To signal I have completed the composition and to gently bring you back to the present, I will play key sounds demonstrated to you prior to beginning your session.  You may initially feel drowsy,  but after coming to, many of my clients express feeling amazingly refreshed, surprisingly relaxed and often notice that any tension they’d arrived with, has literally disappeared.  Hours later, many clients discover feeling invigorated with greater energy and later, enjoy the best night’s sleep ever!
