- Benefits of a Sound Bath

Recent studies have reported that sound baths can bring deep rest and relaxation, help with stress, fatigue, and depression symptoms. Also, it may help the listeners with grounding, centering and connecting with their inner wisdom. According to the scientific study: Effects of Singing Bowl Sound Meditation on Mood, Tension, and Well-being: An Observational Study, Sound baths may help treat mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety. It was reported that after attending a sound bath participants experienced reduced anger, fatigue, and depressed mood, while there was reported an increased spiritual well-being. Moreover, participants who were not familiar with this type of meditation experienced a significantly greater reduction in tension compared to more knowledgeable participants. During a sound bath, both the body and the mind relax, entering a deeper state of consciousness, allowing the brain waves to slow down. Alpha and theta brain waves are stimulated, shifting from a more active state to a more relaxed state, or even a dreamlike state. Alpha waves (8-12 Hz) occur when we are calm and relaxed,daydreaming or meditating. Theta waves (4-8 Hz) are produced during light sleep, extreme relaxation or during very deep meditation. During theta state the brain may be particularly receptive. Scientists have found that alpha and theta activity is linked to a reduction in stress, anxiety, discomfort and pain, while increasing alpha brain waves can stimulate creativity, help with memory and minimize depression.

Reduces stress levels and tension
Reduces anxiety
Reduces anger
Reduces fatigue
Lowers high blood pressure
Creates a calm space for self-realization
Restores inner harmony
Helps with depression

Healing is challenging. Looking at our wounds and taking care of them isn’t easy… Accepting our shadows takes courage, strength, and openness.

It took me years to say this, but I feel I’ve found my purpose in holding space for others to relax, heal, and transform. For me, every session is sacred.
It’s a ceremony and I treat every moment of each session as such.

And if it weren’t for those beautiful people who trust me with their healing, I wouldn’t be able to do what I love, what I’m meant to be doing. So thank you, with all my heart. ❤️

I bow to those who trust and let go. Those who are ready to see their whole spectrum. To embrace both their light and their shadow. We’re all on the same boat in this journey… To let go, accept, and receive.

And my greatest gift Is to see smiling faces full of light every time I finish a sound bath.

Thank you to all the beautiful souls who’ve trusted the process and continue to move towards wholeness.
🙏✨

🌕 Last week, under the full moon, we had the chance to gather in this truly stunning place, an ancient stone quarry. Together with Angeliki and .of.sound , we shared healing sounds and with all of you who attended raised money for , which supports children and adults with cancer who are in need.

Unfortunately, that very place where we gathered is currently under threat. There are plans to build a pumping station for wastewater, which would eventually destroy the area (by the way that beach is home to the endangered Caretta-Caretta sea turtles). Thankfully, the local community is protesting and managed to pause construction for now. So, I truly hope the mayor recognizes the environmental disaster this would cause and withdraws the plan...🤞

In these troubling times, I try to focus on the good in others and not lose faith in humanity and gatherings like this remind me of our shared light and give me purpose. So thank you all for attending, you made the evening truly special! ✨

I truly hope we each find peace within, and that we learn to treat one another as family, with love and compassion, and to treat and honor Earth as the paradise it is. May the wars end. May there be peace and unity. 🙏🏽

So, perhaps you’ve heard about sound healing and sound baths, or maybe a friend raved about how powerful their experience was and now you’re curious to try one yourself. It’s true — there’s a lot of buzz around sound healing and sound baths these days. By the way, you can learn more about ...

That powerful, magical moment of the day when the sun goes down… There’s something truly special about the golden hour—the magical shades and colors painted across the sky, the quiet knowing that the sun will rise for us again and again. It’s the perfect example of unconditional love and sharing, always there, giving light, giving life.

There’s so much held within that moment, and that’s why we’re drawn to just observe without speaking, without much thinking—just being. So many emotions coexist at that time: gratitude, melancholy, happiness, sadness… It’s a gentle farewell to the sun and an invitation to the magic of the night as the stars begin to appear.

Different energies come and go, both out there and within—a beautiful reflection of ‘as above, so below’ and ‘as outside, so within.’

I feel truly blessed to host sound healing sessions outdoors during this sacred time of day. Looking forward to sharing more magical moments like these with you. 🌅🙏🏽

✨ It’s time once again to say goodbye to this magical land of India…

This time, my experience here was quite different from my previous visit. My purpose was to attend an intensive Breathwork, Trauma Awareness & Somatic Experience teacher training with . Breathwork has been a part of my life for the past years through practices like Pranayama and the Wim Hof Method, and I’ve always been fascinated by how just a few conscious breaths can transform my energy levels and clarity.

Throughout the years I’ve found that both conscious breath and sound healing are among the most profound healing modalities, which is why I wanted to dive deeper into the science and magic of breathwork and trauma. I can’t imagine a better way to do so than by learning directly from such inspiring teachers as , , Keghani, and .

These past two weeks have been both deeply challenging and incredibly fulfilling, and I can’t express my gratitude enough. A heartfelt thank you also goes to our wonderful assistants guardian angels - , , and Suzana—supporting us every day and showing us how to hold space in the most direct and loving way.

I am super grateful for all my amazing classmates, each and everyone filled the entire puzzle with their inputs and energy. Thank you for being part of this journey—learning and growing together, sharing wisdom, emotions, challenges, and joyful moments. I look forward to breathing together again sometime, somewhere! Let’s see where and when will that be! ✨

Exciting research shows that 40Hz vibrations could help reduce Alzheimer’s pathology and symptoms. Starting with success in mice, the approach moved to human trials, where 40Hz light and sound stimulation boosted brain activity and connectivity, showing promise for those in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. These results hint at a future where non-invasive, sensory-based therapies such as sound therapy might play a key role in Alzheimer’s care. 🙏

MIT scientists find that Alzheimer’s model mice exposed to 40 Hz vibration an hour a day for several weeks showed improved brain health and motor function compared to untreated controls.
