Bandy Canyon Ranch, San Pasqual Valley: Say “howdy” to sound-bath float therapy in the star-drenched pool under the night sky at this revered, historic 154-year-old private ranch resort on 107 lush acres in the heart of the San Pasqual Valley. Shift your brainwaves’ alert beta state to a relaxed alpha, theta or deep restorative delta state under the guidance of a healing therapist. Meanwhile, you'll float as you listen to sound waves from quartz crystal and Himalayan bowls, gongs and gently pulsing drums that activate the parasympathetic nervous system responsible for stress reduction and relaxation.
