Soothing Sound Journeys
Monthly Wellness Experiences for Cancer Patients
Join us for a deeply relaxing and restorative Sound Journey designed specifically for cancer patients, survivors, and their families, facilitated by Dee DiGioia (Mindful Kindful YOUniversity). This takes place at Adventist Health-Sierra Vista, SLO in the auditorium.
Each session—also known as a Sound Bath—offers a gentle, immersive experience featuring a soothing soundscape created by crystal and metal singing bowls, chimes, gongs, and other therapeutic instruments. These calming sounds help ease tension, quiet the mind, and encourage a deep sense of inner peace. Complementary practices such as breathwork and gentle vocal exploration through toning or song may also be included.
The Benefts of Sound Journeys
Sound Journeys are widely recognized as a valuable complement to conventional medical and mental health care. Scientific research has shown that sound immersion experiences can support many dimensions of physical, mental, and emotional health and well-being by:
-
-
- Reducing stress and anxiety
- Increasing relaxation
- Providing pain relief
- Improving sleep quality
- Enhancing mood and emotional resilience
- Supporting immune function
- Lowering blood pressure and calming heart rate
- Enhancing body awareness
- and more.

How Sound Works
Sound frequencies engage the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting deep relaxation and restoring balance to the body and mind. This process, known as brainwave entrainment, occurs when brain waves synchronize with external sound frequencies, guiding the mind into a state of calm and clarity. As tension melts away, energy flows more freely, supporting emotional and physical well-being.
