Both "bathe" you in sound and vibrations that usually result in relaxation and better sleep. 

1. They differ in the instruments used.  My sound baths primarily use crystal bowls and are complemented by chimes, gong, ocean drum, and more.  My gong baths primarily use gongs and are complimented by other instruments. 
2. They differ in their goal.  Sound baths aim to balance energy, relieve stress, and induce deep, light, and airy relaxation  The crystal bowls have specific frequences related to chakras.  Gong baths aim to disrupt repetitive thought patterns and provide restorative effects for the nervous system.
3. They differ in your experience:  Sound baths have diverse frequencies which creates a varied and layered soundscape.  The tones are generally easier on participants.  Gong baths have deep full-body vibrations.  People differ in which they like best.  

Both use the same instruments.  They differ in time and experience.  My sound baths are 60 minutes and neurological sound baths are 30 minutes.  You lie down on a massage table or sit in a chair and experience the sound bath with eyes closed and stillness.  You participate in the neurological sound baths based on the participant.  Participants can play some of the complementary sound instruments, lie  down, sit, dance around, or draw/color.  Neurodivergent generally cannot tolerate the longer time or long stillness.  It will not be as relaxing as a sound bath; however, it will benefit the participant with reduced anxiety, reduced stress, better sleep, and such.

No, your child may be anxious, sleep issues, overly active and such and can benefit from the session.  This session is also good for adults with OCD, ADHD, trouble staying still, anxious and such.

People with pacemakers should not participate in sound or gong baths.  Those that have metal implants, seizure conditions or are pregnant should consult their doctor before participating.

It's okay to fall asleep during a sound session.  Your body will still get the benefits through the sound frequencies.  Therefore, you aren't woken up.

No.  Every sound and gong baths are different.  Each person has a different style. Even with the same person, each session is going to be different.  The brain needs to not know what sound to expect for the benefits.

No.  While most people leave sessions grounded and relaxed, if your body has trapped trauma or feelings, you may experience tears or even nausea.  This happens more during/after a person's 1st or 2nd session (individual or group) and is good.  This means your body is releasing something that needs to be released.

Reiki is not based on any religion and is not religious.  Mikao Usui developed Reiki in Japan. Reiki is a Japanese word.  Rei = "univeral" and Ki = "life energy".  

Reiki is a non-invasive complementary therapy which doesn't cure anything but instead calms the nervous system, alleviates anxiety, and releases tension.  I believe it resotres a natural energy balance to facilitate the body's own healing response.  It is your energy, not mine.

REIKI: Reiki uses your own energy and can do no harm.  Therefore, everyone can participate in Reiki.

Yes, Reiki is appropriate for anyone, including children.  

Some services such as Reiki and Auriocultherapy differ in time based on discussion time and need of participant.  Reiki "tune-up" is a shorter time, will usually be done from one side, and based on need.  Since you would have already had Reiki sessions before, a "tune-up" may be all you feel you need.  

Typically there is no pain in auriculotherapy.  The "ear seeds" are tiny and placed by tweezers on the outside of your ear.  The "ear seed" has adhesive on one side.  There are no needles involved.  The position depends on the target areas of your session.  To stimulate you rub/massage the seeds several times a day.  This also does not hurt.  The benefits should last 5-7 days.
