Soundbed

Completely enveloped by sound

Like the therapy monochord and the soundchair, the soundbed is a body sound instrument. It is mainly used therapeutically. One lays on the instrument and another sits next to it and plays. The lying surface is slightly curved inwards, which increases the lying comfort and gives you the feeling of being completely enveloped by the sound.

The effect of the soundbed differs only slightly from the slightly narrower soundchair-bed. The open end faces of the instrument result in a total length of the lying surface of 208 cm. The soundbed is 10 cm wider than the soundchair-bed. In contrast to the soundchair-bed, this instrument has a fixed resonant body of 200 cm in length. Therefore, it is more suitable for stationary operation.

Sound

The resonant body of the instrument is very long, so the basic tone is much deeper than with the therapy monochords. The focus of the experience with the soundbed is the dissolution of physical boundaries, the detachment of time and space and the experience of comprehensive relaxation. Therefore, with the help of this sound, it is possible to penetrate deep emotional areas, as is the case, for example, with the sound-guided trance.

The sound experience is very intense due to the relaxed posture while lying down and the great contact of the body with the instrument. After a treatment while lying down (duration between 10-30 minutes), many people still feel that they have the sound to carry within them hours later. Some of them show inner images during the treatment, others have the experience of boundless freedom that opens up beyond thought, others come into contact with long-forgotten memories, be they pleasant or unpleasant… The testimonies of therapists and sound travelers are varied and impressive, to perform them all here would be beyond the scope.

For all therapists who work in-patient and also already know that they only want to use the instrument as a couch, I always recommend the soundbed.

Many therapists also work with the soundbed in groups. Since the sound of the instrument is very full and powerful, even those who do not sit or lie on the instrument have a very intense sound experience through the spatial sound or, if they lie on a wooden floor also due to the sound vibrations in the floor.
