“IS A CRYSTAL SOUND BATH THE FIX FOR ALL YOUR STRESS AND SLEEP ISSUES?”

We headed along to the Crystal Sound Lounge in West London to find out what crystal sound baths actually involve, how they feel, and if they’ll have any effect on your tension-filled brains.

We felt utterly relaxed post-sound bath, to the point that we were honestly a little dazed. Getting on a Tube home felt like a battle–so we wouldn’t recommend doing this right before needing to be energetic.

All of us reported improved sleep that night, a sense of calm, and a feeling that we’d escaped our worries and stresses for a bit.

“TRINNY TRIES A SOUND-BATH”

This is where a ‘sound specialist’ plays a series of quartz crystal bowls – hitting them gently with a mallet or running a wand around the rim – until the sound reaches 528 megahertz.

It sounds odd, but the frequency affects your brainwaves, promoting calm. It’s a great alternative to meditating as the volume blocks out the white noise in your head. My 45-minute session began with a guided meditation and then the bowls got louder until I almost started to vibrate. It was quite overwhelming, but I felt a total release of stress, and was left looking as though I’d had a facelift.

“A CRYSTAL SOUND BATH IS THE MILLENNIAL ROUTE TO MINDFULNESS”

A crystal sound bath harnesses the reverberating sounds and vibrations of crystal bowls of all shapes and sizes, to lull you into a peaceful and mindful state of being.

A qualified sound specialist is on hand to play the hollow bowls like instruments by twirling a crystal baton around the sides.

ELLE went along to the Crystal Sound Lounge in West London… we left feeling a new sense of clarity, like a weight had been lifted from our shoulders.

“DOES IT WORK IN REAL LIFE…SOUND BATH”

In order to get there, you need to disconnect from thoughts entirely-and in this respect at least, the sound bath succeeded where everything else has failed for me. The sound reverberated through my body in such a way that my mind simply couldn’t distract itself.

I must have fallen asleep at some point, because when I woke up everyone else was preparing to leave. And as I floated down the street towards the station, my mind felt oddly quiet. Sometimes you have to let some sound in to drown the other noise out.

“WHY LONDONERS SHOULD TRY A SOUND BATH-GONG THERAPY IS THE LATEST MEDITATION TREND”

Gong therapy is becoming more accessible (a pilgrimage to an eco retreat in Mexico is no longer necessary, though may be preferable) with many workshops popping up in London. Below we’ve rounded up a few of the best sound therapy classes in the city:

Crystal Sound Lounge, Paddington:
Set in the lounge of a gorgeous house in Paddington and run by Laura, who discovered sound meditation after a crystal singing bowl session in Mexico left her with ‘a profound sense of peace like never before.”

“WHY EVERY STRESSED-OUT LAWYER NEEDS A GONG BATH? ”

There was a time when The Gong Bath was the preserve of the New Age Hippy Californian Tech Billionaire Guy, quickly followed by movie stars and celebrities. But now finally we mortals of earth have inherited access to the healing wonders of The Gong. Now there are “Sounders” taking their vibrational healing into senior corporate offices from China to Stockholm to Brussels and now London.

If you would like to experience the Gong Bath for yourself, the Crystal Sound Lounge offers regular sessions in Central London.
