enterSTELLARWhat is the difference between a sound bath and meditation?
In seated meditation you actively focus your own attention, while in a sound bath you lie down and let continuous live sound carry your attention for you, which makes a sound bath an easier entry point for people who find traditional meditation difficult.
They are close cousins, and a sound bath is a form of meditation, but the experience differs. In traditional seated meditation, you do the work: you sit upright and actively guide your attention back to the breath, a mantra, or the present moment, again and again.
In a sound bath, you lie down and the sound does much of the guiding. Continuous tones from gongs, singing bowls, and frequencies give your attention something to rest on, so the mind tends to settle without effort. That is why many people who "can't meditate" find a sound bath far more accessible: there is nothing to concentrate on and nothing to get right.
At enterSTELLAR, sessions blend both worlds, gentle guided meditation woven through an hour of live immersive sound, so you get structure and surrender at once.
