Sound Bath | Sound Healing at Ghost Ranch Yurt
Experience a transformative journey at Ghost Ranch with the Lotus Sound Bath. This unique 60-minute instrumental meditation, led by master percussionist Douglas Cardwell, uses gongs, crystal bowls, and chimes to release stress and uplift your spirit. Immerse yourself in soothing sounds and discover deep relaxation in a serene atmosphere.
Welcome to Ghost Ranch. Enhance your journey and immerse yourself fully in the present moment with Lotus Sound Bath. Absorb the beauty around you and make your New Mexico adventure transformative with a gentle instrumental sound meditation designed to release stress, clear the mind, uplift the spirit, and be enveloped by the present moment. 🌸
Guests will enjoy a unique meditative concert, a purely instrumental and multi-sensory experience, performed by a music professional and certified sound bath practitioner using gongs, crystal singing bowls, handmade chimes, and other high-vibrational specialty instruments.
Please bring a yoga mat or blanket and pillow to lie comfortably as waves of sound release tension throughout the body and soothing tones gently clear the mind during this 60-minute sound immersion. The therapeutic sound bath is not only designed for deep relaxation and stress relief, but also to tap into the subconscious, sift through the roots of emotions, clear mental distraction, reset and restore the nervous system, and expand the self towards an overall healthier state of being and enhanced joy of life.
If you have not experienced a sound bath before, this is a wonderful opportunity to do so in an incredible atmosphere with an experienced and dedicated professional.
