Sound Bath with Tea and Community at Lotus Flower in Cleveland Heights

A sound bath is a calming experience during which you lay down and relax while allowing the vibrations of musical instruments to wash over you, cultivating a meditative state. Sound baths have been shown to calm your mind, release tension, decrease anxiety, lessen stress levels, boost your mood and improve sleep*. This sound bath is facilitated by Cathy from Forest Empress. You will be gently guided into relaxation, followed by music from metal Tibetan bowls, a steel tongue drum and chimes. There is nothing you need to do or try to achieve during the session. Simply be present.

You will be on the floor for an hour, so please bring a mat and any blankets, pillows, etc. that you would like to ensure your comfort. This one-hour sound bath will be followed by a half-hour of tea and community. I invite you to come experience the restorative power of sound for yourself.

Parking is available in the lot behind the studio off Dellwood. Enter the studio through the front door on Lee.
