When it comes to self-care routines, baths often top the list. Submerging in a warm, steamy tub is a popular way to unwind after a long day.

Gong baths hold similar potential — no water needed.

Gong baths are a type of inactive meditation, where you “bathe” in the healing vibrations of sound.

Gong baths, like all types of sound therapy, allow your brain to relax into an alpha-dominant or theta dominant brainwave state.

“In this state, your brain has time to download what’s been happening in your day. It allows you to process thoughts and emotions,” “The result is that you’ll feel calmer, happier, and less anxious after a session.”
