6 of the Best Sound Baths in Los Angeles
Our lives today are so noisy. Any spare second I have I find myself unconsciously turning on a podcast, audio book, TV, or scrolling social media reels. I want to be highly productive after all... but what is the cost of all this noise pollution?
It wasn't until my first private sound bath meditation with Shawni (see below) where I suddenly realized how sensitive I am to noise. As the relaxing music played I drifted away leaving all the intensity of life behind and then floated back into my body and was blown away by the deep sense of peace I felt when the sound journey ended.
As a hypnotherapist in Los Angeles, I have been hosting monthly group hypnosis workshops for about 5 years. And recently I launched a Floating Sound Bath with Hypnosis! I love to integrate the sounds of crystal singing bowls into these hypnosis journeys to really deepen the experience for my clients. I've had the pleasure of collaborating with different sound healers throughout the years and want to share my favorites with you here so you can experience the transformative power of sound too!
Floating Sound Bath at Modern Hypnotherapy
If you are looking for "sound bath Los Angeles" you've come to the right spot! I invite guests into my backyard for intimate, yet powerful group hypnosis soundbath. The first time I did a soundbath, my natural instinct was to do self hypnosis. I saw the benefits of connecting with my inner world while under the "trance" of the sound bowls washing over me. After all, in a state of deep relaxation we are best able to access the healing frequencies of our subconscious mind.
This inspired me to start offering hypnosis sound baths near me. In these group sound baths I incorporate a hypnosis journey that is similar to guided meditation. As the sounds wash over you, I will take your mind to a place that feels very safe and peaceful so that we can drop in hypnotic suggestions to help you achieve your goals!
What sets my hypnosis sound baths apart from others in Los Angeles, Eagle Rock and Santa Monica is that it feels like a mini wellness retreat that allows you to combine goal setting, with community, plus hypnosis. Each participant will be asked to bring a yoga mat for these special public sound baths coupled with hypnotherapy. I pride myself on creating a safe space for you to relax and dive into the subconscious mind, setting powerful intentions and reinforcing them hypnotically. The sound healer will guide you into a deep state of listening and I will help guide your attention throughout the sound bath events. Come with an open mind and leave feeling like your soul has been cleansed, your inner world ignited with love and motivation!
In the summer months I offer floating sound baths in the intimate setting of my private pool. You will love floating to the sounds of the crystal bowls, gongs and have an incredible hypnosis journey to really dive into your subconscious mind.
You can find the schedule to my upcoming Hypnosis Sound Bath or Floating Sound Bath events here!
