Sound Meditation

Sound Meditation, or a sound journey, is a lying-down, fully clothed meditation. Krysta plays drum, gong, Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, rattles, and bells around you, so your mind has something to follow other than its own noise. Sessions are 30 or 60 minutes from $50. A 20-minute version can be added to any massage.

30–60 min · from $50

A calming, vibrational experience using drum, gong, Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, rattles, and bells to guide you into deep relaxation, quiet a busy mind, and harmonize your nervous system.

What happens in a session

You settle on the table or mat with a blanket and an eye pillow. Krysta gives you a breath cue, then moves through the instruments: a steady drum, bowls near your body, gong washes, rattles and bells to close. There's silence at the end, then a slow return. You don't have to say anything.

Who it's for

People who say they can't meditate because sitting still is hard. People who are stressed, overstimulated, or sleeping badly. Before a big decision or after a hard week. Most clients describe a deep, drowsy calm.

How it pairs with the Stillness Sound Lounge

The Stillness Sound Lounge sends sound through your body from a lounger. A live Sound Meditation is Krysta playing in the room. Book both for a longer rest.

Before and after

Eat lightly. Wear warm layers. Plan a quiet half hour afterward if you can.

Things to tell Krysta

Sound sensitivity, seizures triggered by sound, a pacemaker (for the lounge only), early pregnancy. Volume and instrument placement can be adjusted.

Questions people ask

Do I need meditation experience?

No. The sound gives your attention something to rest on, which is why people who struggle with silent meditation often find this easier.

Is it loud?

The gong and drum have intense moments, but Krysta reads the room and adjusts. Tell her beforehand if you're sensitive to sound.

Can I fall asleep?

Yes. Many people do. Drifting is part of it.

Can I add sound to my massage?

Yes. The 20-minute Sound Meditation add-on goes before or after the bodywork.
