1111 Vibe (305-804-6264) in Miami is offering a singular meditation experience curated by Andrew Clark, a professional holistic healing guide who will lead you through a personal sonic healing session.
For centuries, eastern practice and Buddhism, specifically, has touted the benefits of sound as a mechanism for relaxation and healing. Gongs, singing bowls, and other resonant instruments emerged alongside techniques such as throat singing, all of which seek to create unique soundscapes, and all of which are still used to some extent in modern holistic circles.

Only recently has the New Age healing community truly taken note of this vital relationship between sound and mental health, and not a moment too late. This shift has introduced a wide range of new, exciting possibilities as we continue to build our understanding of the benefits of sonically-rooted wellness techniques.
One such technique is known as sound bathing, and is already showing promise as an essential part of the meditative experience.
It has already found a place in yoga classes and meditative practice, where it is said to enhance focus while encouraging grounded presence and mindfulness.
While sound bathing practitioners are still relatively rare given the recent adoption of the practice by many holistic professionals, if you are in Miami, you will not need to wait to experience the benefits of this remarkable holistic technique.
1111 Vibe, a private studio in downtown Miami, offers sound bathing in small group settings or individual sessions by appointment only. Group sessions are offered every Sunday beginning at 6 p.m.; eye masks, floor mats, and cushions are all provided by the practice, though participants are encouraged to bring additional comfort items to ensure the most relaxing experience possible.
During each session, instructor Andrew Clark guides participants through a meditative routine, using implements such as crystal singing bowls to create a soundscape of resonant frequencies. His collection of instruments are crafted using clear quartz, which is known for the pure tone it is able to produce.
Clark’s qualifications are further described on the practice’s website: “Through his own physical challenges in life Andrew discovered he had a natural ability to heal and over time developed a vibrational modality that became the first accredited sound healing certification program in 2005, known as Crystal Sonic Healing by the National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork, NCBTMB.”
Additionally, the studio will provide a range of products from Aura Soma, including crystals, essential oils, and plants, intended to enhance the relaxing environment within the studio space. Clark is a registered practitioner of the Aura Soma method, and has used their products according to principles laid out in the fields of color theory and feng shui.
All appointments can be made via call or text at (305) 804-6264; the practice requires 48 hours' notice for cancellation. Detailed directions to the Miami studio are available at https://www.1111vibe.com/
