BENEFITS OF A SOUND JOURNEY
A sound journey, also known as a ‘sound bath’ or ‘sound healing’, is an immersive sound experience where participants are enveloped in sound waves produced by various instruments, such as singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and tuning forks.
What are the benefits of Sound Journeying?
Sound Journeys are transformative experiences that resonate deeply across mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual facets of well-being. As we immerse ourselves in the healing vibrations of sound, these gentle yet powerful frequencies flow through us, clearing away blocked energy and emotions that may underlie mental, emotional, or physical dis-ease.
Here are some of the key benefits that has been documented through research, as well as reported by our YOUniversity guests:
Mental Benefits:
Sound can assist in relieving stress and tension. It also helps to quieten repetitive thought patterns from a busy mind & relaxes one into a meditative state where deep inner silence & stillness is experienced.

Overall, sound healing can be a powerful tool for achieving holistic health and well-being by harmonizing the body’s energy and promoting a state of balance and harmony.
How does Sound Journeying work?
Participants typically lie down or sit comfortably while the practitioner plays the instruments, guiding them through a meditative and therapeutic journey of sound.
Our bodies are also made up of approximately 80% water, so our bodies are excellent conductors of sound.
“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” -Albert Einstein
Sound vibrations and specific frequencies will be combined with guided meditation and intention setting. It is through the simple utilization of attention and intention that the energetics within us can transform.
The science confirms the benefit of the combination of intentional sound and guided imagery practices as ultimately beneficial to the process of healing emotional and physical health and well-being. It is widely recognized as a valuable and effective complement to conventional medical care.
Sound amplifies our true inner nature. When we focus on the positive states inherently within, the sound assists in realizing and sustaining this positive state within us! Sometimes that inner state become muddied or blocked so we were unable to see or access it. And so we work with clearing and balancing the entire pathway from ground to sky, from root to crown, from foot to head, and beyond!
The instruments in a sound journey facilitate shifts in our brainwave state through “entrainment”.
“Entrainment synchronizes our fluctuating brainwaves by providing a stable frequency which the brainwave can attune to. By using rhythm and frequency, we can entrain our brainwaves and it then becomes possible to down-shift our normal beta state (normal waking consciousness) to alpha (relaxed consciousness), and even reach theta (meditative state) and delta (sleep; where internal healing can occur). This same concept is utilized in meditation by regulating the breath, but with sound it’s the frequency that is the agent which influences the shift.” [*Nate Martinez]
