The Benefits of Aerial Suspension in Meditation and Sound Healing

Untitled design (23).png
Aerial suspension refers to being gently supported or partially
suspended using a yoga trapeze, hammock, or fabric sling.

It invites surrender. When the body is supported, the mind can soften—allowing meditation and sound healing to land more deeply.
 

Aerial suspension offers unique physical, neurological, and emotional benefits
when combined with meditation or sound healing practices.

By reducing gravitational pressure on the body, suspension creates conditions that support deeper relaxation, enhanced sensory awareness, and nervous system regulation.
