What If You Could Reset Your Mind in 25 Minutes — Without Meditation?
ONTSUBU LLC
There’s a particular kind of exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix. You close your laptop, lie down, and your mind keeps running — replaying conversations, drafting tomorrow’s to-do list, looping through things you meant to say. You’re not stressed exactly. You’re just… never quite off.
If that sounds familiar, this might be for you.
What Is a Sound Bath?
A Sound Bath is exactly what it sounds like: you immerse yourself in sound. Not passive background music, but a carefully designed acoustic experience where rhythm, tone, and breath work together to guide your nervous system into deep rest.
It’s been quietly spreading through wellness studios, gyms, and corporate retreats across the US and Europe — and for good reason. When sound and breath synchronize, something shifts. Thoughts slow down. The body releases tension it didn’t know it was holding. You arrive, fully, in the present moment.
No special speakers required. No yoga mat necessary. Just you, wherever you are.
April 24: A Special Sound Bath with a Twist
This isn’t a playlist on Spotify. On April 24th, we’re bringing together three artists for a live, 90-minute online experience built around one idea: what does it feel like when sound actually moves through you?
The centerpiece of the evening is a healing music piece built around Solfeggio frequencies extracted from the sound of a 100-year-old traditional Japanese loom — an instrument that has been weaving fabric, and quietly weaving silence, for generations.
The Experience: 5 Steps to a Quieter Mind
Journaling — 10 min
Before the sound begins, we empty the mind onto paper. A guided journaling sheet — the same one used by working artists and performers worldwide — helps you set down the mental weight you’ve been carrying.
Ayurvedic Breathwork — 5 min
A Sri Lankan-style breathing technique, led by a professional ballet dancer who has performed on stages from Milan to Washington DC. Breath is the gateway. This step opens it.
The Sound Bath — 25 min
Eyes closed. Sound on. Nothing to do but breathe and listen. The music — designed by a sound engineer and jazz drummer who has performed for over 100,000 people across 60 countries — moves through you at a frequency most music never reaches.
Visual Meditation — 5 min
In a deeply relaxed state, you’ll follow words painted live by a Japanese visual artist whose spontaneous ink works have appeared at national festivals, band releases, and stages across Japan and beyond.
Reflection & Sharing — 10 min
A short creative exercise to put language to what you felt. Optional group conversation follows for those who want it.
The Artists
Ikuyi Minat
Sound Designer · Jazz Drummer · Engineering Consultant
Scouted at 25 by Chicago blues legend Magic Slim, Ikuyi has shared stages with Grammy-nominated artists across 60 countries, performing before cumulative audiences of over 100,000. A licensed Professional Engineer (Japan) and former JICA technical expert, she is currently conducting collaborative research with David Cowan, Associate Professor at Berklee College of Music.
Tanako Miyazaki
Professional Ballerina · Mental Performance Coach

Takkun Kodona
Word Painter · Visual Artist
Seventeen years ago, Takkun quit his job as a café manager, picked up a brush, and began painting words live, guided entirely by intuition. He has created official merchandise for Japanese bands including Aqua Timez and sumika, and built a school for intuitive writing with over 200 graduates across Japan.
Who This Is For
- You’ve tried meditation apps and they don’t stick
- You feel vaguely tired no matter how much you sleep
- Your mind is always on, and you’re not sure how to turn it off
- You’re curious about sound healing but skeptical of ambient noise playlists
You don’t need headphones. You don’t need a yoga mat. You can have your camera off the entire time. The only thing we ask is that you give yourself 90 minutes of real quiet.
Listen — Sample Tracks
Forest Talk
Japanese natural sounds fused with Solfeggio frequencies. Also used at the popular head spa event “Goku no Kimochi.”
Waving Way
Deep overtones and Solfeggio frequencies layered with precision. Designed to switch off the brain’s information processing and guide the listener into deep rest.
Blue Jay Chant
Afro-influenced groove and deep bass that synchronizes with the breath — activating the autonomic nervous system’s recovery mode.
A Note on the Science
The effects of Sound Bath experiences are increasingly supported by research in acoustic psychology and neuroscience. ONTSUBU’s approach is engineered to minimize cognitive load while activating multiple brain regions simultaneously through polyrhythmic design — informed by research from Northeastern University’s MIND Lab and peer-reviewed work published in Frontiers in Psychology (2025). This is not background music. It is acoustic architecture.
