#sonic bath

I like how the first 4 seasons of voyager are forgettable in my head, but then the show pays off, showing me the only thing that really matters: how a sonic bath works.

The Integratron

Experience a quartz crystal sound bath inside the world's only all-wood sound-chamber.

So-o-o-o, ya’know after Calvin labeled his entry hall "The Integratron”, I had to google it & found out about this interesting place in Landers, CA.

Construction began in 1954 from the design of aeronautical engineer and ufologist, George Van Tassel, who built the dome after allegedly receiving instructions from extraterrestrials from Venus known as “The Council of Seven Lights.” During this UFO encounter, Van Tassel claims that he was invited aboard a Venusian spaceship and given explicit instructions on how to create a machine that could rejuvenate living cell tissues.

Van Tassel chose the Integratron’s site due to its supposedly powerful geomagnetic energy (though there is no scientific evidence of any such energy), which he believed could be amplified within a wooden parabolic structure. As such, the building was constructed without the use of any nails, consisting only of plywood and fiberglass held together by wood dowels and a 1.5-ton cement ring serving as the keystone. Using these materials, and influenced by the theories of Nikola Tesla and sacred geometry, Van Tassel believed that the Integratron was more than a building and would serve as a combination of a time machine, rejuvenation machine, and an anti-gravity device.

Holy Tao! Far-out! I bet Calvin has been there! From another site, I got this explanation of a Sound Bath: 

The Integratron’s Signature Experience “It’s kindergarten naptime for grown ups in a sound sphere”

This is an unforgettable sound experience for those who seek deep relaxation, rejuvenation, and introspection. All Sound Baths are 60-minute sonic healing sessions that consist of:

a brief introduction to the Integratron and its history and sound qualities,

30 minutes of quartz crystal bowls played live, and

the balance of the hour to integrate the sound and relax in the sound chamber to ambient music.

You will be resting comfortably in the deeply resonant, multi-wave sound chamber while a sequence of quartz crystal singing bowls are played, each one keyed to the energy centers or chakras of the body, where sound is nutrition for the nervous system. The results are waves of peace, heightened awareness, and relaxation of the mind and body.

I tend to forget Calvin is a mystical seeker of quasi-scientific alternatives to conventional so-called “wisdom”. In many ways, he’s a practical traditionalist. But then... he’s not.
