WHAT ARE SONIC CRYSTALS AND HOW DO THEY WORK?
Sonic Crystals are our signature 5-minute sound therapy sessions that blend the healing properties of Himalayan singing bowls with crystalline energy.
Here's what you need to know:
- UNIQUE COMPOSITION: Each Sonic Crystal carefully combines the resonant tones of singing bowls with the vibrational energy of specific crystals.
- THERAPEUTIC DESIGN: These sessions are created to promote relaxation, alleviate stress, and enhance overall well-being.
- CONVENIENT FORMAT: Available as streaming audio, allowing you to access them anywhere, anytime.
Sonic Crystals work by harnessing two powerful elements:
1. The resonant frequencies of Himalayan singing bowls, known for their ability to induce relaxation and alter brainwave states.
2. The vibrational properties of specific crystals, each chosen for their unique energetic qualities.
This combination is perceived to create a synergistic effect, enhancing the therapeutic benefits of sound therapy. The resonant tones of the singing bowls help to calm the mind and body, while the crystal energies add specific healing properties to the sound vibrations. This dual approach aims to provide a targeted and effective remote sound therapy experience in a compact yet potent session.

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT SESSION FOR ME?
We recommend exploring different sound meditations to find what resonates best with you. Each session is carefully composed to address specific therapeutic topics, allowing you to choose the most appropriate therapy for your current wellness goals.
You can select based on:
- Your current emotional or physical state
- The benefits you're seeking
- Intuitive attraction to certain crystals or topics
Remember, the effectiveness of sound therapy can be subjective, so we encourage you to experiment and find what works best for your individual needs.
_____
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I LISTEN TO THE SOUND MEDITATIONS?
We recommend regular listening for optimal benefits, usually once or twice daily for a week. Most users find daily sessions beneficial, but you can adjust the frequency based on your needs and schedule. Listen to your body and intuition to determine what works best for you.
The varying lengths of our sound sessions are designed to accommodate different preferences and time constraints. Whether you have just 5 minutes to spare or can dedicate up to 15 minutes, there's a session that fits your needs. This flexibility allows for easy incorporation into your daily routine, whether you're looking for a quick boost in the morning, a midday break, or a relaxing wind-down before bed.
_____
CAN I LISTEN TO MULTIPLE SOUND SESSIONS IN ONE DAY?
Yes, you can listen to multiple sound meditations in a day, although we recommend limiting your sessions for optimal results:
- Ideally, focus on no more than 2 or 3 different sound meditations per day.
- Allow time between sessions for integration and reflection.
- Choose meditations that complement each other or address different aspects of your well-being.
There's no strict order to follow. We encourage you to select intuitively based on what resonates with you in the moment. However, be mindful not to overwhelm yourself with too many different energies or frequencies in a short period.
Remember, quality often trumps quantity in sound therapy. It's better to deeply engage with a few carefully chosen sessions than to rush through many. Listen to your body and adjust your practice accordingly.
