 Imagine you're trapped in the heart of New York City, a constant cacophony of honking horns and blaring sirens assaulting your senses. Stress? Yeah, you've got it in spades. But what if there was a way to escape the noise and find peace, not with silence, but with sound? I embarked on a journey to explore the fascinating world of soundbaths, where instruments like gongs and chimes weave a tapestry of calming vibrations. The question is, could these sessions truly be the antidote to our modern-day stress epidemic? So, I donned headphones wired to a brain-recording device and settled in for a nearly two-hour soundscape. Gongs, drums, and chimes washed over me, creating a surprisingly mixed bag of emotions, spooky, grounding, and surprisingly peaceful.
