I first met Rebecca Gale at the Germantown Craft Festival where her booth filled with crystals and good vibes immediately lured me in. She was handing out locally made lavender chocolate from The Bang Company and her signature rose quartz margarita. Oh hi soul twin. It was here when I first learned of her sound bath meditations. It wasn’t until a year later when I jumped back on Instagram after a 3 year hiatus that I discovered Rebecca once again.
I had experienced a soundbath mediation at the Tea Huntress’s yoga + meditation retreat that I’ve posted about back in June. It was one of the most powerful things I’ve ever experienced- deeply, deeply relaxing and soul engaging. Absolutely stunning. When I saw Rebecca post about her Ursula themed soundbath coming up- SOLD.
A sound bath is a meditative experience that uses sound waves to bring balance, invite calm, restore healing and a sense of well-being to your life. It is often done while you lay on a meditation cushion- crystal bowls and gongs are played that produce sound waves that induce a meditative state. The first one I experienced at the retreat was maybe the most relaxed and anxiety-free I have ever felt. It was so, so beautiful.
Rebecca’s was no different! The whole experience was so fun. Per HAUM’s instagram, they are a “Nashville Native owned upscale sound meditation speakeasy”. In this COVID era, Rebecca’s studio has been turned into a speakeasy feel. You don’t know the location and address until you book your reservation on the “MINDBODY” app. Once you have booked and confirmed, you get a series of texts the day of explaining in perfect detail how to find the studio.
Rebecca has such a fun personality that you just kind of want to hang out with her. But as soon as the meditation starts, her vibe is calm and healing. She has a beautiful bag filled with meditation guides and tools for you to use sitting on each cushion. A crystal skull to hold on a chakra that you feel needs healing. A chakra guide. A card of inspiring and guiding words. After the thirty or so minutes of meditation, there is a small journal for you to write any reflections or note-worthy experiences. But perhaps my favorite part was the end ceremony of writing on small cigarette paper one thing you wanted to let go of and one thing you wanted to manifest, lighting it on fire and dropping it in her ceremonial cup to watch it burn. Let go and let live. And of course her famous rose quartz margarita at the end and lavender chocolate is the perfect end to a beautiful night.
This is a fun, fun experience. I went by myself, but you could book this for a bachelorette party, a birthday party, a fun night with your spouse or girlfriends. Or go by yourself like I did for some self-healing. Meditation has become a huge huge huge part of my life and this experience with HAUM was a beautiful compliment. She has crystals for sale outside the meditation room- I couldn’t help but buy several, I love me some crystals. She accepts Venmo.
You can meditate anywhere, but if you want a healing AND fun experience that you can’t find anywhere else- try HAUM.
