Adriana Dobbs, a certified sound practitioner through the Vibrational Sound Association, will present a 45-minute Sound Bath with Lavender Aromatherapy from 6 to 6:45 p.m., March 4, 2024, at the Baptist Center for Healthy Living, at the Nocatee YMCA. Crystal singing bowls will be immersed in lavender aromatherapy to retune the body, mind and spirit, encouraging relaxation, healing and wellness. A yoga mat, blanket and small bolster are provided.

When relaxing through soothing sound and vibration, the body is affected on a cellular level, opening energy flow to move back toward healthy alignment. Benefits of sound bath therapy include deep relaxation and meditative-like states; reduction of stress and anxiety; increased feelings of happiness, joy and tranquility; reduction in fatigue and depression; lowering of heart rate and blood pressure; ease of chronic pain and inflammation; more restful sleep; and relaxed muscular tension.
