COME BATHE IN THE SOOTHING SOUNDS OF HEATHER-RAE’S CRYSTAL SINGING BOWLS AS SHE CREATES A UNIQUE CUSTOM SCENTSCAPE JUST FOR YOU WITH ESSENTIAL OILS.
THIS COMBINATION SUPPORTS STATES OF DEEP RELAXATION, WHERE STRESS RELEASE AND HEALING CAN OCCUR. EXPERIENCE A SOOTHING YET POWERFUL EXPANSION FOR THE MIND AND BODY.
WHAT IS A SOUNDBATH?
A sound bath is a healing session you can experience fully-clothed, lying down in a comfortable resting pose in a dry, safe, and secure place. A sequence of quartz crystal singing bowls are played, each one keyed to the energy centers (chakras) of the body, where the sound nourishes the nervous system. The results are a deeply relaxed state of mind, body, and spirit.
HOW DOES IT HEAL?
Sound can help facilitate shifts in our brainwave state by entrainment; synchronizing fluctuating brainwaves by providing a stable frequency to which the brainwave can attune. By using particular combinations of rhythms and frequencies, it is possible to shift our normal beta state (alert, concentrating, reacting) to alpha (creative, relaxed), and even theta (meditative state) and delta (deep sleep; where restoring and healing can occur). Using sound as therapy can provide results for a variety of issues including: sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, stress management, PTSD, pain management.
How do these singing bowls affect our bodies so profoundly? Every part of our body, down to our cellular level, are crystalline in structure. This allows them to respond and resonate with the frequencies produced by the crystal singing bowls. Sound baths also act as a therapeutic gateway to your subconscious mind by allowing you to achieve and stimulate the Alpha and Theta brainwaves which are most commonly present during hypnosis, REM sleep, and deep meditation. Time is suspended as you enter a world of vibration, sensation, and experience. Physical injuries can be healed and old emotional traumas are released. You will feel nourished, alive, and vibrant after each session.
WHAT IS AROMATHERAPY?
Aromatherapy is an alternative form of holistic therapy that uses essential oils to help improve and balance you both emotionally and physically, while helping you to take time out for yourself, to be mindful and to reconnect with yourself, even for a moment. The aromas experienced through aromatherapy and essential oils have a dynamic effect on the mind and body.
The effect is experienced through the sense of smell which is linked to the deepest parts of the brain governed by your basic instincts, thoughts and emotions. On a physical level, essential oils help to ease muscular aches and pains, improve circulation, ease sinus congestion and act as a strong antioxidant.
Plant extracts have been used for thousands of years for their exquisite aromas and natural healing powers. Rich in botanical activity and antioxidants, plant oils encourage radiant, healthy skin, working at a cellular level to keep the complexion soft and looking youthful. By harnessing their therapeutic properties, aromatherapy works to improve our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
WHAT TO WEAR
We really recommend to wear comfortable, non-restrictive clothing during your Soundbath experience, similar to work-out wear or pajamas. Enjoy your cosmic nap barefoot or in socks, but please remove your shoes. It is also best to remove all metal and electronics from your body and clothing pockets during the performance.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
For a comfortable journey please bring your own yoga mat or self-inflatable camp mat, a light blanket or pashmina scarf in case you get cold, and a soft eye mask or eye pillow to block out any light source from the space.
Make sure to bring along any totems, photos of loved ones, and crystals to surround your comfy nest. The sound frequencies emitted from Soundbaths help to charge your crystals without having to wait for the next full moon.
Also, most importantly, bring an extra ticket for friend, coworker or family member who can benefit from sound healing.

PARKING
For those of you who don’t live in DTLA we absolutely know how nerve wracking it can be to navigate. There is metered street parking on Spring Street and other streets nearby. There are also some lots and garages in the area. The best solution we have found so far is an app called Spot Hero. You can type in our address, find lots in the area with the best rate, pay with your credit card in the app and swipe the bar code when you arrive. We don’t have any kind of deal with these guys, we just like the ease of it.
We are in the Spring Arts Building located above The Last Book Store. Let the doorman know you are there for class and take the elevator up to the 6th floor. Turn right off the elevators and we are the first door on your left. We look forward to seeing you!
