Tonight we are so blessed to share with you all a sound bath from Archipelago team member and owner of Biōm Seattle, Karleen Ilagan. Learn more about the Biōm experience — sound, plant, and light therapy below. You can also visit them at www.mokshaseattle.com to join them in their beautiful space just down the street from the stadium in the I.D.

At Biōm we practice the art of listening, balance and harmony to create a unique blend of sensory bliss. We create an immersive experience through the use of sound, plant and light therapy. All of our instruments are acoustic and all of our melodies improvised. The vibrations are raw, each wave unique, a special blend created just for you. 

What is Sound Therapy?

Vibration and frequency are fundamental elements to all life. From music, to language, to the beat of our hearts, humans have an especially close relationship with sound. At Biōm, we use the resonance of crystal bowls and metal gongs to wash your body with waves of healing frequencies. Sound therapy allows your mind to reach deep meditative states and it is useful in relieving anxiety, depression and insomnia. The vibrations also loosen up stagnant energy throughout the body which can relieve tension.

What is Plant Therapy?

Plants are central to the design, philosophy and purpose of Biōm and we have created an innovative hydroponic growth system that allows our indoor jungle to thrive. Plants are the caregivers of the world, they give us air to breathe and nutrients to eat. They teach us how to be resilient, how to bend and stretch, and how to thrive. Spending time with plants relieves stress, increases empathy and gives us a sense of peace. Our jungle provides a lush and warm indoor climate complete with a canopy for you to meditate under. 

What is Light Therapy?

Everything we see with our eyes is light, the world we see is our brain's interpretation of that light. Therefore, light has a powerful influence on our perceived reality and our mental health. We use a range of tunable LED lights to focus the mind on color, our relationship with color and the moods and memories they conjure in us. We also have bright full spectrum lights that we use not only for our plants but to also help with seasonal depression. Our dynamic lighting system allows us to create an immersive therapeutic environment for you.
