My First Sound Bath Experience

Before I dive into the story, I would like to offer the backstory first, as I feel it is just as important as it is profound. We spend much of life looking for the negative, when miracles are all around us. This backstory is a story of miracles, the type of everyday miracles we usually dismiss because they happen every day.

Back in February when I was asked 3x to lead FemCity Knoxville, a women’s networking group, I made that decision with OWL the logic and intuition my superpowers could access. Suffice to say, this was a very aligned decision, as was asking 5/1 Projector and owner of A Soul New World, Meg Campbell, and a 6/2 Manifesting Generator and owner of Knox Therapeutic Massage, Joanne Coughlin, to co-lead a wellness workshop for women. Imagine my disappointment when I already had clients scheduled for this Spring ReFresh event (insert tantrum arms and feet here). I was so drawn to experiencing a sound bath and decided I would try and find another class when the universe did its thing and mother nature chose to rain, creating room for me in my schedule to attend the event the following week.

As fate would have it (I see you Creator), a week prior to this rescheduled Spring Refresh event, I stumbled upon a woman by the name of Robin Winn, whoooo happened to share her latest book for purchase, Human Design and Essential Oils. co-authored with Greg Toews, a world-renowned healer and essential oils alchemist. I purchased the book as a gift for Meg, only to discover within the first 5 minutes of holding the book that this copy would forever be mine, and my friend’s copy would require re-ordering. Society might call this an only child trait, perhaps even an Aries ‘me first’ kinda thing, but my intuition is never wrong, this book was meant for me. But I digress. Back to the sound bath experience.

Prior to the Sound Bath, Meg invited us to allow an essential oil to intuitively call to us for use in our sound bath experience. Thanks to the book I previously mentioned, I had already decided I wanted to try the Eucalyptus oil, as this was the oil mentioned for bringing the 5/1 Human Design Profile into full alignment. As I quickly scanned the oils looking for the Eucalyptus oil, I thought to myself, perhaps it is not here, just let your intuition guide you. In that moment I saw an oil labeled Breathe that called to me. I picked it up and out of the corner of my left eye I spied Eucalyptus, immediately I put down Breathe and grabbed the oil that had intuitively called me the week prior…

Action speak louder than words—at some point during the sound bath, I no longer saw darkness while my eyes were closed. Instead I saw a bright, bright light, so bright it was yellow on the edges. I couldn’t believe it at first, squeezing my eyes tighter just to make sure. It was then that my brain remembered it the sun had already set outside. I also felt the VERY bottom of my diaphragm while focusing on my breathing, a place I haven’t felt in years. ( I played an instrument over a decade and was a paid musician, I’ve been to the depths of my diaphragm before, and it felt so, so good to be back! And if I can get a little personal, my digestive health improved overnight, and has continued to improve ever since.

It was a very euphoric feeling I had during this sound bath designed for the Solar Plexus. The Solar Plexus in Human Design is the energy field of emotions. My chart is WIDE open—I literally feel everything—only amplified. Now that I understand this energy field, and how to protect myself and use it as a superpower, it’s pretty amazing and I wouldn’t change a thing.

I also know this is probably an area that could use healing, it’s been 35 years of living not always in alignment with this superpower. And modern therapy made it worse. It’s too focused on the mind and deficits/fixing people versus teaching you to access your own breath and heal through learning about your unique Human Design. But I digress.

My Sound Bath Experience was transformational. A day after the experience I was reading my Human Design and Essential Oils book and learned that Eucalyptus is also used for severing Etheric connections, necessary for healing past relationships. For me, this fully explained part of the experience I had—it was though I was observing my mind and finding much of what was coming up to be funny and freeing. 10/10 can’t recommend it enough.
