Soundbath at the Jacoby Arts Center, Alton IL

A unique evening of EFFORTLESS RELAXATION as you take a journey inward and ease the mind, body & spirit with a special live sound “bath” of the beautiful sounds of healing frequencies and vibrations. The Jacoby Arts Center is a beautifully restored arts and concert venue that is spacious, modern & beautiful, and will be equipped with audio engineering to provide a FULL sounding experience of all the beautiful sound instruments to fill the space. A ‘soundbath’ is an immersive concert of meditative tones and vibrations created by crystal singing bowls, Himalayan singing bowls, and an array of other sounding instruments like the gentle hum of the gong, bells, chimes....all designed to help you take a journey inward for a unique experience. Experiencing sound vibrations in a 'live' setting, the mind and body are very receptive and can help you reach deeper states of relaxation or even meditative states, and one can come out of the experience feeling “re-tuned,” restored and rebalanced. This happens because the vibrations are changing your biology at the cellular level. The vibrations actually SHAKE OUT the dense energy held in our body from our day-to-day stresses.  Not only will you have the BEST NIGHT SLEEP, but may feel this gentle calm in your mind + body + spirit for days. We call this sound vibration healing. Sound healing can be traced back to about 40,000 thousands and can be found in historical documents (Sanskrit) with the ancient Egyptians as well as writings about the Australian Aborigines. The Greek philosopher Pythagoras (c. 570 - c. 495 BC) , the "Father of Mathematics", utilized sound vibration to treat mind and body ailments. Today, there is a resurgence all over the country and sounbaths are popping up everywhere...from high end spas to your local yoga wellness studios. Why soundbaths? Physically & Spiritually:   Sound frequencies resonate with the body’s energy systems. It stimulates these centers, awakening them and releasing the storehouse of creative vital force that is waiting there to be discovered, giving listeners glimpses into the deepest aspects of themselves. Mentally: This sound is so abstract, so unique that the human mind is unable to associate it with anything familiar, it has to surrender. In this state of ‘surrender’ the healing takes place, the stress is melted away, worries vanish, dreams of the heart rise up and you find yourself exploring deeper into parts of yourself. ***Medical studies report sound vibration has significant positive impacts with those struggling with anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, depression, cancer, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, sleep issues and more. A 20 minute relaxed state can be an equivalent to 8 hours of deep, restful sleep. *No experience required. Simply lie back and feel effortless relaxation. This event is suitable for kids ages 10+ Tickets $30 Door $35 Required: Please bring a yoga mat, blanket to cover up, and eye cover.
