Is a Sound Bath Safe for a Person with Metal Implants? Essential Advice

Is a Sound Bath meditation suitable for Those with Metal Implants?

For the correct answer to “is sound bath safe for metal implants” it is important to know how and where to do your medical research accurately from verified sources.  It is most definitely true that sound bath meditation can be beneficial for most people with metal implants, as our case study evidence has already shown.  But this doesn’t mean sound bath meditation will be suitable for everyone with metal implants and its important for every sound bath practitioner to know the reasons why.

What is a Sound Bath Meditation ?

To understand the effects of a sound bath for those with metal implants, it’s important to know what a sound bath really is and what it isn’t.  Sound bath is a style of meditation, where live musical sounds are expertly played with sound therapy instruments by the facilitator or practitioner, to induce deep rest and relaxation of mind and body. 

During a sound bath there will be no musical instruments such as tuning forks or himalayan singing bowls placed directly on the body of the participants.  If this happens, then it’s not a sound bath at all – it’s a biofield tuning.  Which opens up another whole host of special considerations which must be followed to ensure compliance with medical Law and GDPR.

There is a growing body of evidence which shows that certain sound frequencies along with the expert playing techniques during a sound bath (as taught by International Academy of Sound Therapy) certainly have great potential to induce the deep rest and relaxation necessary for self-healing of the body which naturally occurs during good quality sleep.

Beware of Unsupported Claims

Many sound bath facilitators are propagating unfounded fear of sound baths for those with metal implants, without providing any verifiable medical evidence to back up their claims.  

A sound bath meditation produces a mix of calmly soothing sounds – clearly audible to the meditators and designed to induce deep rest and relaxation.  Certain sound frequencies created during a sound bath can sometimes be felt in the body as well, especially by those who are especially sensitive to sound. 

If a sound bath facilitator advises that a sound bath is unsuitable or may not be suitable for those with metal implants, without providing a medically verified source of their advice, as evidence of the validity of their claims – it means their advice is unverified, unfounded, from a place of fear, and without adequate expertise and understanding of medical Law and their legal obligation to the public.

If you correctly understand the frequency of intention, you will also know and understand how and why fear should have no place in the mind of a sound bath facilitator or participants of their sound bath meditation.

If you have correct knowledge and understanding of a sound bath facilitator’s ethical and legal obligation to the public, you will know how and why a sound bath facilitator or sound therapy practitioner, cannot legally provide advice to the public about the suitability of sound bath for those with metal implants or any other medical condition.   This is general medical advice which can only ever be provided to an individual by a suitably qualified Doctor.

Unregulated Industry

It is important to understand that the practice of sound bath facilitation and training of practitioners is largely unregulated here in Ireland and around the world.   What this means is that not all sound bath facilitators (or training providers) have the same level of experience, knowledge and expertise.

Verified Advice

The the propagation of so much false and misleading information in our modern world, it is always essential to obtain your health advice from verified sources, including advice regarding the suitability of sound bath meditation for those with metal implants.

Is Sound Bath Safe for Metal Implants Then ?

While the deep rest and relaxation encouraged by a sound bath may certainly be suitable for the majority of people with metal implants, this doesn’t mean a sound bath is suitable for everyone with metal implants. 

Why not?  Because some folks with metal implants may also have one or more other underlying medical conditions which make accurate assessment of the suitability of sound bath for their health situation impossible unless you are their Doctor.

When providing health advice to the public, adequate knowledge and understanding of the laws applicable is always essential and so is good common sense. 

Conclusion – Good Common Sense is Required

Does a concert orchestra (or traditional Irish music session) ever provide health warnings to the public in their advertising of a live music performance?  No they don’t – because they know its against the law for anyone who isn’t a Doctor to provide medical advice to the public.

Medical Law

One of the basic rules of medical Law, which many unregulated practitioners of the practice of therapeutic sound are apparently unaware of, is that giving medical advice to the public regarding suitability of sound bath meditation for a specific medical condition is prohibited by medical Law, unless you are a medical Doctor.

This includes advising the public if a sound bath will or won’t be suitable for those with a specific medical condition.

For medical advice for a person with metal implants, it is important for the person to consult their Surgeon who fitted the implants, or suitably qualified medical Doctor.  Only the Surgeon who fitted the implants, or a suitably qualified medical Doctor will know the full medical history of the individual and can make the accurate assessment necessary to provide correct advice regarding the suitability of sound bath meditation for the individual and their unique health situation.  

A sound bath facilitator should only ever provide their health advice to the public in a positive way, without ever causing any fear or negativity regarding the suitability of sound bath meditation for those with metal implants.  The only health advice regarding sound bath meditation that should ever be advised to the public is the following, or similar words to the effect of:
