Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sound bath meditation?
A sound bath meditation is a deeply immersive experience where you’re “bathed” in soothing sound waves rather than water. Using instruments like crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and other resonant tones, sound baths are designed to guide your mind and body into a state of deep relaxation and inner calm.
Unlike traditional meditation, there’s no need to focus or “do” anything—just lie back, close your eyes, and let the sounds wash over you. These vibrations can help slow down brainwave activity, reduce stress, promote emotional release, and even support better sleep. Many people describe it as a dreamy reset for the nervous system.
It’s a gentle, accessible practice—ideal for beginners and seasoned meditators alike.
​
What do I bring to a sound bath meditation?
We recommend bringing a yoga mat or something comfortable to lie on, such as a padded mat or sleeping pad. You may also want a blanket, pillow, or bolster for added comfort and warmth. An eye mask can help you relax more deeply. Wear cozy layers, as your body temperature may drop during deep relaxation.
Most importantly, bring an open mind and a willingness to relax and receive.
​
How long does a sound bath meditation last?
Most sessions last between 60 to 90 minutes, including a brief welcome, guided visualization, the sound bath itself, and time to gently return to waking awareness.
​
Do I need any experience with meditation or yoga?
Not at all. Sound baths are perfect for beginners. There’s no movement required, and no experience needed—just the ability to relax and receive.
​
Can I sit up during the sound bath instead of lying down?
Yes. While most people lie down to fully relax, you're welcome to sit comfortably in a chair or meditation cushion if that works better for your body.
​
What if I fall asleep during the sound bath?
That’s totally normal and perfectly okay. Many people drift in and out of sleep during sound baths. Your subconscious mind still benefits from the experience.
​
Is a sound bath safe during pregnancy?
Sound baths are generally considered safe during pregnancy, especially when using gentle instruments like singing bowls. However, always consult with your healthcare provider first, especially if you’re in your first trimester or have any concerns.
Are sound baths okay for children or teens?
Yes, but this depends on the child’s ability to remain quiet and relaxed for the duration. Please check with the event host to confirm age guidelines for specific sessions.
​
How often should I attend a sound bath?
That’s entirely up to you. Some people attend weekly as part of their self-care routine, while others come monthly or whenever they feel the need to reset and recharge.

​
What happens during a typical Marshmallow Moon Sound Bath event?
Each event begins with a brief welcome and guided meditation or visualization to help you settle in. Then, you’ll lie back and relax as sound waves from crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, and ambient layers wash over you. Some sessions also include visual projections for added immersion. The experience ends with gentle grounding and space to reawaken.
​
Are sound baths spiritual or religious?
Our sound baths are not tied to any specific religion or spiritual belief. They’re an inclusive, secular practice designed to support wellbeing through sound and relaxation.
​
Will there be guidance or narration during the sound bath?
Most of our sessions include narration and or guided visualization at the beginning to help ease you into the experience. After that, you’re gently immersed in sound without further verbal guidance.
​
Is there anything I should avoid before attending (e.g., heavy meals, caffeine)?
For the most comfortable experience, we suggest avoiding heavy meals and excess caffeine right before the session. Come hydrated and open to stillness.

Can I bring a friend or partner?
Absolutely. Sound baths can be a wonderful shared experience. Just make sure your guest is also open to a quiet, meditative environment.
