Sound Meditation for Deep Relaxation with Geralyn & Michael

What is a Sound Meditation?

Sound Meditation is a form of meditation that uses sound as a vehicle to promote deep relaxation and has many health benefits (see below).

Sound meditation is very similar to Yoga Nidra/Deep Relaxation that typically occurs at the end of a yoga class with the added component of sound meditation instruments being played during the deep relaxation. Typically, instruments include crystal singing bowls, chimes, gongs and drums among other instruments.  Sound meditation can be experienced by lying on a mat, sitting in a chair or any position that is comfortable.
