A unique Sound Bath experience exploring the energies of doing and being
Welcome to another Afterbath Session with Mat Creedon 🌿
Earlier this year, a friend introduced me to something I had never seen before — a pair of Tibetan singing bowls known as the Lingam & Yoni Tibetan Singing Bowls, traditionally used in profound forms of Sound Bath meditation. From the moment I held them, I felt there was something deeply symbolic about them, something that speaks to the human experience on many levels.
The Lingam bowl, representing the masculine, has a raised mound at its centre — almost like someone pushed their finger up from underneath. The Yoni bowl, which symbolises the feminine, is a smaller bowl with a large opening in its base. It sits nestled inside the larger Lingam bowl, separated by a donut cushion. When you look down into the pair, you can see the Lingam through the opening of the Yoni.
Together, they create a powerful visual and energetic metaphor, one that becomes even more evident when used in a Sound Bath practice: the balancing of masculine and feminine energies that exist within each of us.

The Dance of Doing and Being in Sound Bath Practice
In many traditions, the masculine energy expresses itself through doing, achieving, building, organising, and using logic to shape the world.
The feminine energy expresses itself through being, receiving, softening, intuiting, and allowing life to naturally unfold.
A Sound Bath is one of the most direct ways to feel these energies in motion — the grounding tones of the masculine meeting the spacious, open, receptive qualities of the feminine.
When these energies work together, life feels smoother, calmer, and more meaningful. But when they slip out of balance, we feel it as: tension, overwhelm, urgency, irritability, and the sense that we’re constantly racing against a clock we invented ourselves.
This is something I know intimately. My masculine energy absolutely loves to stay busy — I can fill an entire day without even noticing. But when I neglect the feminine energy of being, everything becomes far more dramatic than it needs to be. My mind speeds up. Time feels like it’s running away from me. Even tiny inconveniences can feel amplified.
What brings me back is slowing down — often during or after a Sound Bath session.
Feeling my feet on the earth.
Taking a slow, deep breath.
Humming on the exhale to lengthen it and calm my nervous system.
Noticing the gentle rise and fall of my chest.
These tiny practices feel like miniature Sound Baths within daily life — ways of coming back into the body, back into presence, back into balance.
A Sound Bath Designed for Rebalancing
To support this balancing of energies, I recorded a one-hour Ambisonic 3D Lingam & Yoni Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Bath, crafted specifically to help the body and mind return to harmony.
This immersive Sound Bath allows the tones to move around you, creating a spacious, enveloping field of vibration.
It gently guides the nervous system into a state of ease, grounding, and clarity, making it ideal for:
• Emotional rebalancing
• Stress relief
• Meditation and breathwork
• Daily grounding
• Restoring harmony between doing and being
