Sound baths are an easy-to-do form of therapy that’s been found to offer emotional, spiritual, and physical benefits.

Picture a scene of elephants hearing sounds from Himalayan singing bowls played near them and becoming more relaxed during medical procedures and operations such as foot care, eye checks, skin care, and even blood draws. As amazing as it seems, scenes documenting this at the Patara Elephant Farm, a health recovery and reproduction management farm for elephants in Thailand, can be seen in the 2021 film “Going Om: An Exploration of Sound, Vibration, Energy and Wellness.”
