In Peoria, a unique wellness phenomenon is taking root as residents discover the transformative power of sound healing. At Your Cosmic Connection, the monthly Sacred 2nd Saturday Sound Bath has become a sanctuary for those seeking relief from the chaos of modern life. Led by Reiki Master and Sound Healer Jenny Mitchell, known as Mama Agapé, these 90-minute sessions promise more than just relaxation—they offer a journey into what practitioners describe as deep energetic healing.
The science of sound healing combines ancient wisdom with modern understanding of how vibrations interact with our bodies and minds. As Mitchell guides participants through the experience, the subtle yet powerful effects of sound frequencies create what many attendees describe as a profound shift in their well-being, making this practice one of the fastest-growing segments of the holistic wellness movement in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Sound healing operates on the principle that everything in our universe—including our bodies—exists in a state of vibration. Jenny Mitchell, who has studied sound therapy for over a decade, explains that “different frequencies interact with our physical and energetic bodies in specific ways, helping to realign areas where vibrations have become disharmonious.” The various instruments used in her sound baths each serve a distinct purpose: crystal bowls produce pure, sustained tones that resonate with the body’s energy centers; Himalayan singing bowls induce meditative states; chimes add ethereal highlights; and the gong delivers deep vibrations that can be felt throughout the body.
Research into sound healing’s efficacy has grown substantially in recent years. Studies published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary & Alternative Medicine suggest that sound frequency therapies can reduce stress hormones, lower blood pressure, and improve sleep quality. “The science is catching up to what traditional healers have known for centuries,” Mitchell notes. “Sound waves influence our brainwave patterns, shifting us from beta states of alertness to alpha and theta states associated with deep relaxation and healing. This is why people often report emotional releases or insights during sound baths—they’re accessing parts of themselves usually obscured by mental chatter.”
The Sacred 2nd Saturday Sound Bath at Your Cosmic Connection has developed a devoted following since its inception. The ceremony begins with participants settling onto provided mats in the peaceful space of the Peoria wellness center. Mitchell opens each session with gentle breathwork exercises designed to prepare the body for the sonic experience, followed by an optional Blue Lotus anointing ritual that she describes as “opening the heart to receive healing more fully.” The main portion of the event unfolds as a carefully orchestrated journey of sounds that Mitchell weaves together with intention, creating what she calls “an arc of experience—from grounding to immersion, release, and finally return.”
Limited to just 20 participants per session, the intimate gatherings regularly sell out weeks in advance, reflecting growing interest in sound healing throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area. First-time attendees are advised to arrive by 6:30 PM for the 7:00 PM start, wearing comfortable clothing and bringing only what they need for their comfort—a journal, water, and, as Mitchell emphasizes, “an open heart.” Tickets start at $34 for individuals, with a discounted rate of $55 for pairs. “The most powerful preparation,” Mitchell suggests, “is simply setting an intention for your experience, whether that’s seeking relief from a specific issue or simply creating space for whatever needs to emerge.”
