About the Experience

Many people visiting SPACE2B are new to sound meditation or deep rest practices. These questions explain what the experience is like and what you may notice during a session.

What happens during a sound meditation session?

During a sound meditation session, participants lie down comfortably while listening to live instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, chimes and other resonant sound instruments.

The session typically begins with a short guided introduction to help the body settle and the mind slow down. As the sounds unfold, the gentle vibrations create an immersive environment that encourages the nervous system to shift from a state of activity into deeper relaxation.

Participants are invited to simply rest and listen. There is nothing you need to do and no prior meditation experience is required. Many people notice the mind becoming quieter, the body releasing tension, and a sense of calm or spaciousness emerging.

Each person’s experience is unique. Some people remain fully aware, while others may drift into a deeply relaxed state or light sleep. Both are natural responses as the body settles into rest.

The session usually ends with a few quiet moments to allow the body and mind to return gradually before participants leave the space.

Will I feel comfortable if I’ve never done anything like this before?

Yes. Many people who visit SPACE2B are completely new to meditation or sound-based practices.

Our sessions are designed to be simple, welcoming and accessible. There is no expectation to perform or to “meditate well.” Participants are invited to simply rest, listen and follow the guidance at their own pace.

The atmosphere at SPACE2B is calm and supportive, and our facilitators gently guide each session so that everyone can feel comfortable, regardless of their level of experience.

What are the benefits of sound meditation?

Sound meditation supports the body’s natural relaxation response.

The gentle vibrations produced by instruments such as singing bowls and gongs can help shift the nervous system from a state of stress activation toward a more restorative state.

Participants often report benefits such as:

• deep relaxation
• reduced mental tension
• improved sleep
• emotional grounding
• greater mental clarity

While each experience is different, many people leave feeling more calm, balanced and refreshed.

What if I can’t relax or my mind keeps thinking during the session?

This is completely normal.

Many people arrive with an active mind, especially after a busy day. The purpose of the session is not to force the mind to be quiet, but to create the conditions for the body and nervous system to gradually settle.

Simply resting and listening to the sounds is enough. Over time, most participants find that the body naturally begins to relax and the mind becomes quieter.

There is no right or wrong way to experience the session.

Is it okay if I fall asleep during the session?

Yes, this is completely natural.

Many participants enter a deeply relaxed state during sound meditation sessions, and it is common for the body to drift into light sleep. This simply indicates that the nervous system has shifted into a more restorative state.

Even if you fall asleep, your body and mind can still benefit from the experience. The sounds continue to create a calming environment that supports relaxation and recovery.

Everyone’s experience is different, and there is no expectation to remain fully awake or to “meditate in a certain way.” Simply allowing the body to rest is often exactly what is needed.

Is it normal if people fall asleep or snore during the session?

Yes, this is perfectly natural.

Many people enter a deeply relaxed state during sound meditation, and it is common for the body to drift into light sleep. This simply means the nervous system has shifted into a restorative state.

Even if you fall asleep, your body and mind can still benefit from the experience.

What if there are small sounds or movements from other participants during the session?

Sound meditation and deep rest sessions are shared experiences, and occasionally small natural sounds may occur in the room. Participants may shift position, breathe deeply, or sometimes drift into light sleep.

While we aim to create a calm and supportive environment, these experiences take place in a shared space and some natural sounds may arise.

Many people find that part of the practice is gently allowing these moments without resistance and returning attention to the sounds, breath, or body.

Our facilitators guide the sessions with care to help maintain a peaceful atmosphere for everyone.

Are the sounds loud or intense?

The sounds are carefully played to create a balanced and supportive environment for relaxation.

While some instruments such as gongs produce deep resonant tones, the overall experience is designed to be calming rather than overwhelming. The sound levels naturally rise and fall throughout the session, allowing the body to settle gradually.

If you are new to sound meditation, our facilitators guide the experience in a gentle and accessible way.

Are these practices scientifically supported?

Many contemplative practices such as meditation, breath awareness and deep relaxation have been widely studied in fields including neuroscience, psychology and stress research.

These practices are known to support the body’s natural relaxation response, helping shift the nervous system away from constant stress activation and toward a more restorative state.

Research has associated these practices with benefits such as reduced stress, improved sleep, emotional balance and greater mental clarity.

At SPACE2B, our sessions are designed to create the conditions for deep rest and nervous system recovery through simple, accessible experiences such as guided meditation, breath awareness and immersive sound environments.

Is sound meditation scientifically proven?

Sound has been used across cultures for centuries as a way to support meditation, relaxation and reflective practices.

In recent years, scientific research has increasingly explored how sound, music and vibration can influence the nervous system and emotional wellbeing. Studies in fields such as neuroscience, psychology and music therapy suggest that certain types of sound environments can help support relaxation, reduce stress and encourage the body’s natural recovery processes.

While the term “sound meditation” can mean different things in different traditions, the underlying principle is simple: sound can influence how the body and mind feel.

At SPACE2B, sound is used as a supportive environment for meditation and deep rest, helping the nervous system settle so the body can access a more restorative state.

Why are practices that support deep rest important today?

Modern life exposes many people to constant stimulation, information and pressure to remain productive.

Over time, this can keep the nervous system in a state of ongoing activation, making it harder for the body and mind to fully relax and recover.

Practices that support deep rest, such as meditation, breath awareness and sound-based relaxation, help create the conditions for the body to shift into a more restorative state. In this state, the nervous system can settle, mental tension may ease, and the body can access its natural recovery processes.

Creating intentional moments of rest is increasingly recognised as an important part of maintaining mental clarity, emotional balance and long-term wellbeing.

Attending a Session

If you’re planning your visit, the following questions cover booking, arrival guidelines and how to prepare for your session.

What classes are good for beginners?

Yes. All SPACE2B sessions are designed to be accessible for both beginners and experienced participants.

You do not need any prior meditation or sound experience to attend. Each session is guided in a way that allows you to simply rest, listen and follow the instructions at your own pace.

Our facilitators create a supportive environment where you can ease into the experience naturally, wherever you are in your practice.

What should I bring to a session?

We provide yoga mats, cushions and blankets for your comfort.
You may wish to wear comfortable clothing and bring a bottle of water.

Please arrive 10–15 minutes before the session begins to allow time to check in, settle into the space and prepare for the experience.

Sessions begin promptly and we encourage participants to arrive early so they can transition into the space calmly and without rush.

Arriving a little earlier also helps the nervous system settle before the session begins.

To maintain a calm and uninterrupted environment for all participants, late entry is not permitted once a session has started.

Please plan to arrive 10–15 minutes before the scheduled start time to allow for check-in and preparation.

What’s the class reservation policy?

Please observe the following class booking procedures:

  • Book online to secure a spot in your preferred class
  • To ensure that you have a spot reserved in your class of choice, we recommend that you reserve 7 days in advance – especially if it’s an evening class.
  • All classes will be shown online and any changes will appear on the weekly schedule.

  • If class is fully booked, you will be placed on wait list. Multiple wait list bookings are allowed. Upon confirmation of class, your name will be removed from other wait lists.
  • It is important to cancel your booking if you cannot make the class to free the spot up for another member.
  • You may cancel without penalty till 10 pm for the next day 7:30 am classes and 4 hours prior to the start of the other classes.
  • 3 or more late cancellations or no shows over a 1-month period results in your booking privileges being revoked for 2 weeks for the first time; thereafter, booking privileges will be revoked for 1 month. Class attendance will be restricted to in person walk-in.
  • Please check in to the class on arrival at the studio
  • Failure to check in at least 5 minutes prior to class commencing (if you have not cancelled) will mean your spot may be given to another member.
    You’ll need to be early for class, not on time…early! There is no Grace Period after the class begins, and you’ll not be able to join the practice after the start time.

What is the checking in procedure?

Come early! Our sessions start on time and we don’t allow late entry. Please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes in advance of your class starts to have time to check-in. Come early, settle into the space and ease into your meditation experience.

Do you have any late policy?

Unfortunately, we do not let people in once the door is closed. So please arrive 10-15 minutes before your class to allow for easy preparation and transition. While we want everyone to enjoy our classes, coming in late does disrupt the flow and is disturbing to those who are already meditating. We have a strict policy for starting and ending classes on time. Please always arrive early, plan time for possible traffic, parking, etc.

Can I leave a session early?

For the benefit of other meditators, you cannot enter after a session has commenced, nor can you leave early. Please only sign up for classes you can participate in from beginning to end. Its very disturbing if someone leaves during class or relaxation.
