Sound Healing in Surbiton & Thames Ditton: A Starter’s Guide
If you’ve been searching for sound healing in Surbiton or Thames Ditton, you may have seen terms like sound bath or gong bath but wondered what they really mean. Sound healing is an ancient practice that uses vibrations from instruments such as gongs, bowls, and chimes to help the body and mind return to balance.
At the Awaken the Energy Within Workshop, held just a few minutes away in Long Ditton (KT6), sound healing is woven together with Korean-style Qi Gong to create a complete experience of movement, stillness, and deep relaxation.
What is Sound Healing?
Sound healing works on the principle that vibration can influence both body and mind. Every organ, muscle, and cell resonates at a natural frequency. When stress, tension, or illness disrupts this balance, sound can gently guide the body back into harmony.
During a sound healing session, you simply lie or sit comfortably while instruments such as gongs, crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, chimes, or even the human voice are played with intention. The sound travels through you, helping release stress, ease tension, and quiet the mind.
As Janet Atkins described after attending:
“The sound healing and opening of the chakras was amazing. Three hours passed by so quickly. I felt refreshed afterwards and slept so well that night.”

Gong Bath vs Sound Bath
