Sound Bath Sessions
Immersive relaxation using singing bowls and resonant instruments — deep rest for body and mind
Sound baths are immersive relaxation experiences that use sound and vibration to encourage deep rest and calm. Audrey trained in Sacred Sound and mantra practices through Yoga Campus, bringing authenticity and depth to every session she offers in the Scottish Highlands.
During a session at Present Heart Living near Inverness, instruments such as singing bowls, chimes and other resonant tools are played to create gentle layers of sound. Participants usually lie comfortably while the sound fills the space, allowing the mind and body to settle into profound stillness.
What to Expect in a Sound Bath
The vibrations produced by singing bowls and other instruments can help shift attention away from busy thoughts and into a more relaxed state of awareness. Many people describe the experience as deeply calming and restorative — a unique form of healing that works on levels beyond words.
Sound baths are often combined with relaxation practices or meditation, creating an environment where the nervous system can slow down and release tension. Sessions may also include brief periods of guided breathwork to help participants settle into receptivity.
The sessions are suitable for anyone seeking a quiet and supportive space to relax. No previous experience with meditation or yoga is required. For many participants from Inverness, the Black Isle and across the Highlands, sound baths provide a rare opportunity to rest fully and step away from the constant stimulation of modern life.
