The Power of Sound Meditation

Stress is something we all experience at some point in our life. Having tools to manage it can not only bring more ease into our daily life, it can also have a measurable impact on our physical and mental health. In this episode, Beth and Jennifer talk with Guy Douglas about the power of sound meditation to alleviate stress, particularly after the pandemic. Sound meditation is very accessible, even if you’re not a meditator or can’t quiet your mind or don’t know or care what a chakra is. Guy, aka the Gong Guy, is a lifelong musician who began working with gongs and other sound healing instruments to support stress relief and healing in the early 2000s. He plays sound meditations at yoga studios, California beaches, churches and other locations throughout California as well as on the Today Show. He co-founded the Sound Bath Meditation app during the pandemic. In this episode, Guy explains how sound meditation is different from listening to other types of music in the way it is played and its affect on our nervous system, which helps to quiet the mind. At the end of the episode, you’ll get to experience a short sound meditation.
