Last Saturday, my dear friend Cindy and I hosted our first Sound Bath Meditation. We pushed the furniture aside, laid out yoga mats, blankets, and every pillow we could find—and welcomed eight women into the space.

It felt intimate, grounded, and relaxingly successful.

A few words about the bowls.
Cindy’s crystal singing bowls are made of quartz and gemstones, they are very special (sacred and expensive). The sound travels exceptionally well through the human body, which is made up of roughly 65–70% water. When the bowls are played, the vibrations move through that internal water, encouraging deep relaxation and a gentle rebalancing of the nervous system.

As the tones repeat and slow, the brain naturally follows—shifting from a busy, alert state into calmer rhythms associated with meditation and rest. Many people notice warmth, tingling, or a soft sense of resonance. Nothing mystical required—just the body responding to vibration and letting go.

During a sound bath, there’s nothing to “do.” You listen. You breathe. The sound creates the space.

Afterward, I felt calm, content… and incredibly thirsty. I drank water all evening.

Which brings me to why I’m writing.

Hydration matters—deeply. Most of the water we drink today is purified and stripped of its natural minerals. Reintroducing trace minerals can support how that water is actually used in the body.

This is a link to the sea minerals I personally use. Just a few drops in your water—barely perceptible in taste. Consistency matters more than quantity.

Sometimes the most supportive practices are also the simplest: sound, stillness, and properly hydrated cells.
