Floating Sound Bath – Bandy Canyon

About Float Therapy –

You will be guided by the gentle resonance of various instruments, including crystal singing bowls, rain sticks, and a beautiful balanese gong. This floating sound bath will give you space to unwind, release tension, and explore the depths of your consciousness.

As the sound bath draws to a close, you will gently be brought back to the present moment, feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and deeply aligned. Leave feeling centered, balanced, and focused! Sound healing is a great way to improve your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

What is a sound bath?

It is called a Sound Bath because it feels like the sounds are washing over you.

Sound Healing is also known as Sound Therapy or Vibrational Medicine. Sound Therapy works on the principle that everything is vibration. Sound healing therapy is the therapeutic application of sound and vibration in order to create the environment for the body to go into its own natural healing processes. It is the practice of using sound and frequency for relaxation, healing and personal development.

Sound can facilitate shifts in our brainwave states by entrainment. Entrainment synchronizes fluctuating brainwaves by providing a stable frequency to which the brainwave can attune. Combinations of rhythms and frequencies make it possible to shift from our normal beta state (alert, waking, concentrating, reacting) to alpha (creative, relaxed), and even theta (meditative state) and delta (deep sleep; where restoring and healing can occur).  Shifting brainwave states elicits the relaxation response in the body, turning on the parasympathetic nervous system state.Participants typically lie down on a vessel and are guided into the water by our team.  They close their eyes and focus on their breath as wave after wave of sound washes over them.  Elizabeth, our fabulous sound healer facilitates using combinations of frequencies to prepare the nervous system to go into the parasympathetic nervous system state. This creates the environment for the body to go into its own natural healing often relieving stress, and reducing pain.

Instruments used may include, but are not limited to : quartz crystal bowls, himalayan bowls, gongs, drums, shakers, chimes, bells, tingshas, and voice to name a few.

What happens if I fall asleep?

Our team will monitor guests who are floating.  While it does happen, most often you’re not drifting off to sleep but entering what is call the Theta brain state – the space in between conscious, alertness and unconscious sleep. It is the brain waves that are activated by meditation.

Can I float if I’m pregnant?

The conditions of every pregnancy can be different and all expecting mothers should seek the approval of their doctor before floating. However, in general, after your first trimester it is safe to float and many have found floating to be a great relief due to the weightlessness of the body while floating. Floating is also a wonderful way to bond with your baby.

What should I wear?

You can float fully clothed!  There is no need for bathing suits.  We advise against long pants/jeans just in case your ankles get wet when embarking/disembarking your vessel.  We recommend loose, comfortable clothing.

When is sound healing beneficial?

When you have a concern about a physical condition and want to use sound therapy alongside conventional medicine because relaxed patients have lower stress hormones, stronger immune systems, and better tools to cope with the psychological and physical effects of their disease and treatment.

​When you feel stuck emotionally. If you want to move forward, let go of what no longer serve you or shift old patterns that keep repeating in your life. If you want to reconnect with yourself, shift your perception of feeling lost or disconnected.

When you have trouble sleeping.

Or whenever you feel like you need to de-stress or unwind.

Many experience a theta state of mind or 8Hz frequency during a sound healing session. This state is often associated with creativity, productivity and it may be able to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and promote relaxation.  It not only helps with inducing relaxation, but also has a way of moving through areas of blockage to move stagnant energy, release energy patterns and habits that are no longer serving you, and bring your body, mind and spirit back into alignment.

Do I need to bring anything?

Just yourself! Towels, a blanket, a pillow and an eye mask will be provided before your session.  At the end of the session, there will be a hydration break and time to come back to the present.

Are there any weight or size restrictions for floating?

Our vessels have been tested with floaters weighing up to 250 pounds who have been able to float without issue. Feel free to come in and try it! If for some reason it simply doesn’t work, we’ll refund you! (note: this has never happened)

Is there an age limit?

At this time, the float sessions are open to guests aged 18 and over

Is sound healing safe?

Sound healing is generally safe for most people. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before beginning any new health practice, especially if you have a history of health conditions or are currently taking medication.

Will there be a lot of people in my float session?

We conduct small group sessions to ensure the experience is intimate and not overwhelming.  Each session will accommodate approximately 15 participants or fewer. Our sessions take place in our huge swimming pool, providing ample room for everyone to float freely!
