You can use ritual sound bathing often, and this doesn’t necessarily mean engaging in a 3 hour long process, it can be as simple as you setting a very strong intention before you get into these kind of rituals, before the sound starts enveloping you, setting the intention as a means to cleanse your body, your mental state, your spirit. These activities can be particularly powerful in preparation for the next new moon cycle coming.
Benefits of Ritual Sound Bath
Ritual baths, whether with water or sound have been used since the dawn of time. It’s an ancient practice not only to cleanse your physical vessel but also your energy system. Sound baths are optimal for those who have a mind that is always running, the monkey mind, as it allows you to focus better on the sound itself and the effects it produces in your body. This allows you to be present and mindful of this purification process while holding the intention in your mind and in your heart that you’re purifying your physical vessel, your energy system, in preparation for the new moon or any other important event coming for you.
These rituals are particularly important during the new moon phases because the new moon is about new beginnings, so what a better practice to do then doing your ritual sound bath right before preparing for new beginnings? Those are the periods when we should really be cleaning our energy with more depth.
So again, this process doesn’t need to be very elaborate, it’s just important while doing it to not think about anything else, hold the intention of purifying yourself in preparation for the new moon and let the sound do the rest. You can also surround yourself with crystals around you, and also use the smoke from Palo Santo, incense or sage for example, as great purifications tools in preparation for your next period in life and what you’re going to be doing next. Even more exquisite and soothing is if you combine sound bath with a water bath, as water is a great conductor of sound!
The human body, the mind and the spirit are the most sensitive receivers of vibrations from everywhere (sound is vibration at all levels, i.e. light, music, all forms of radiation, and emotions). Sound can be regarded as a holographic entity that literally connects everything in the entire universe. And despite the limits on what we have been taught since birth, which makes us only be aware of a very small portion of all of that sound is, we are still receiving all of those inputs and they surely do have an effect.
We are basically a super sensitive instrument receiving inputs of all kinds. And this also means that a lot of what we receive is a cacophony of sound that can be so overwhelming that we get stressed.
Proper guidance is required in order to tune out those erratic vibrations, which can also be called dissonance, and sooth the stress by bringing us into resonance with ourselves. When we connect with that source, the noise and distractions of life no longer hold us down, and we can then resume to live in our inner calm and balance.
Sound bypasses the conscious mind. Whether you’re alone or in a group, a sound bath is a way of quieting the mind to allow a moment of peace and healing. Usually in these sound baths, as mentioned before, the space is cleared energetically with sage, Palo Santo or incense so that the room feels lighter and the ambience gets a sweet soft feel.
Ritual sound baths are best experienced with natural and organic instruments, a gong, Tibetan brass bowls, crystal bowls, chimes, a harp, drums or harmonium with voice to clear those negative energies that accumulate in our auric field and muscles. The vibrations of the instruments, together with the intention, realign the body and bring it into a higher frequency through the relaxation gifted from the tones.
