Precautions & contraindications…

Your sound bed experience includes sound waves and physical vibrations passing directly through the surface you lie on. It induces a gentle altered state-like experience, especially when paired with the neurovisor. Primarily this is a very positive and deeply relaxing experience. For your comfort we first need to outline some medical, physical, and emotional precautions and contraindications:

Medical & Device Contraindications

• Pacemakers or implanted medical devices: The strong magnetic fields and direct kinetic vibrations from the bed can interfere with electronic implants.

• Pregnancy (especially the first trimester): While listening to sound is safe, direct tactile vibrations on the body should be avoided unless cleared by a doctor.

• Epilepsy or seizure disorders: Shifting sound frequencies, deep resonance, sudden acoustic pulses and lights can potentially trigger seizures.

• Recent surgeries, blood clots, or metal implants: Direct physical vibration can disrupt healing tissue, surgical sites, or displace hardware.

Sensory & Emotional Awareness

• Emotional releases: it’s natural and welcome to connect more deeply to feeling states in a sound bed experience. For some people, the sound vibration and deep relaxation state can surface buried emotions, anxiety, or past trauma. If at any time you feel uncomfortable you can raise your hand, our facilitators are here to support you. We will check in, help you to orient to the present moment and to connect with your breath. You can open their eyes or ask to stop at any time.

• Tinnitus or sound sensitivity: Gongs and loud singing bowls can cause ear discomfort. You can ask to adjust the volume at any time.

Physical Comfort & Aftercare

• Temporary dizziness or headaches: The powerful cellular resonance may cause mild motion sickness, nausea, or a headache during or after the session.

• Lying flat: Laying in one position on the bed for an hour can aggravate existing back or joint issues. We have pillows / bolsters to support your knees and lower back to make the experience comfortable. When getting off the table, first roll to your side, use your arms for support, and sit up slowly. Sit on the bed and orient before getting up. There’s plenty of time, and one of the facilitators will be there with you.

• Hydration and substances: Make sure you are well hydrated before, and avoid eating a heavy meal, drinking alcohol, or mind-altering substances prior to the sound bed session.
