There's SO much more to being a sound bath practitioner than just buying your bowls and learning how to play from YouTube videos.
That's fine for when you're just getting started and learning to play for yourself, but if you start taking on clients and charging money, you have a huge responsibility! You have to create, hold, and maintain the space, be a safe, trauma-informed practitioner, guide your participants down into a relaxed state, gently guide them back up and let them land. You're playing instruments, but you're also working with peoples' energy.
I'm not a master sound bath practitioner yet. I'm STILL training -- but we learn through experience, practice, reflection, and regular mentorship. If you're looking for a comprehensive sound healing education program, I highly recommend The Sound Healing Academy (online or in-person worldwide). You can choose certifications in one-to-one sessions, group sound baths, or both (which is what I'm doing). I have case studies, write ups, video projects, and meetings with my mentor. Wherever you choose to study, consider its credibility and reputation. Quality education is a necessary investment!
Sound healing is such a powerful modality. It's amazing that so many people are getting into this work, and it's so needed. Remember: frequency + intention = healing!
