It takes people into very deep brain wave states, often even deeper than sleep. It’s common for people to feel more deeply rested than they ever have and completely rejuvenated and revitalized.

Sound therapy is extremely unique in that it balances both hemispheres of the mind and leads to a renewed sense of purpose, well-being, calm, and joy.") Nicole Joyal (4)
