Sound vibrations in and of themselves contain resonance that have a powerful effect on our bodies and minds. Research shows us that sound healing can slow down our brain waves and put our bodies in a very relaxed, dreamlike state. It may also be able to help with certain physical and mental health conditions.

A Sound Journey – or Sound Bath – is a guided meditation that harnesses this power for therapeutic and restorative effect. During a session, a participant lies down in a comfortable setting with closed eyes and allows the sound from a myriad of instruments like chimes, singing bowls, gongs and drums to wash over them. The relaxing resonance acts like concentric rings, building on itself and helping to release blockages, expand awareness and inspire.

Sound Practitioner and Singer/Songwriter Annie Fitzgerald leads group Sound Journeys in numerous locations throughout Minnesota including Saint Mark’s Cathedral every last Thursday.
