Unwind with authentic singing bowl sound baths — recorded from real crystal and Tibetan bowls, tuned to each of the seven chakras. Sound Bath Journeys isn't another general meditation app. It's a focused, immersive listening experience built around the resonant, calming power of singing bowls — and now it flows and evolves as you listen. WHAT'S INSIDE - Crystal Bowls — Clear, bright quartz crystal tones for mental clarity and energetic alignment - Tibetan Bowls — Warm, complex overtones from traditional Himalayan alloy bowls for deep grounding - 7 Chakra Channels — Individual bowl stems for Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown - Custom Mixer — Adjust volume and stagger timing for each chakra channel to craft your perfect session - Flow Presets — Choose All Together, Ground Up (root to crown), or Crown Down sequences - Live Transitions — Glide seamlessly from one journey or mix into another. No hard stops, no silence — the sound crossfades so your session stays continuous - Forest Ambience (one-time unlock) — Settle in beside a real river, deep in a living forest - Bells & Chimes (one-time unlock) — Drift through a luminous world of bells, chimes, and koshi - Ethereal (one-time unlock) — NEW: a gong-led journey with ocean drum, rain tower, thunder drum, galaxy ball, and flexatone, all played live by hand - Density Control — Thin out or fill in each ambient layer to shape how sparse or lush your soundscape feels - Mood Presets — One-tap Tranquil, Balanced, and Mystical blends for the premium journeys - Flexible Duration — 15, 30, 45, or 60 minute sessions to fit your schedule HOW IT WORKS Choose your journey. Set your duration. Press play. The bowls do the rest. No guided voice. No distracting visuals. Just sustained, resonant tones designed to settle your nervous system and quiet mental chatter. LIVE TRANSITIONS Build a session that breathes. Move between crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, forest, bells, gongs, and your own custom mixes — and every change crossfades smoothly in real time, so the sound never cuts out or jars you back to the room. Adjust volumes, timing, and density while it plays and hear it shift live. FREE FOREVER, ONE UNLOCK The complete sound bath experience is free: both crystal and Tibetan bowl journeys, all seven chakra channels, the custom mixer, flow presets, Live Transitions, and every session length. One single purchase — no subscription, ever — unlocks all premium journeys (Forest Ambience, Bells & Chimes, and Ethereal) and adds their sounds to the custom mixer with Density controls and mood presets. Buy once, keep it forever. DESIGNED FOR - Meditation practice — deepen your sit with immersive bowl tones - Sleep — let sustained frequencies ease you into rest - Stress relief — downshift your nervous system after a long day - Yoga & breathwork — use as ambient accompaniment for movement practice - Sound healing — explore chakra-aligned frequencies at your own pace REAL RECORDINGS, NOT SYNTHS Every bowl in Sound Bath Journeys was individually recorded from handcrafted instruments. Crystal bowls are pure quartz. Tibetan bowls are traditional alloy. The bells are real metal and wood. The gongs and percussion of Ethereal are played live by hand. The forest's river is a real field recording; its birdsong, crickets, and frogs are all performed live on traditional instruments — bird whistles, water jars, and hand-carved callers — not synthesized, not stock samples. You hear the real thing — overtones, resonance, and all. Background audio playback lets you close the app and keep listening. Set it and forget it. Download Sound Bath Journeys and give your mind the space it needs.
