Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare a novel sound healing approach, biofield tuning, to a waitlist control group in a healthy adult population naive to the intervention. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is there a significant reduction in state and trait anxiety as measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Index (STAI) with biofield tuning compared to waitlist control?
* Are there significant reductions in negative affect, as well as increases in self-compassion, positive affect, and interoceptive awareness in the intervention group?
* What are the relationships between changes in anxiety symptoms, negative affect words, and microbiome changes in participants who have undergone this biofield intervention?

Participants will be:

* Randomized to intervention/control
* Recieve 5 sound healing interventions weekly
* Asked to complete surveys and audio prompts throughout the intervention
* Asked to provide a microbiome sample pre- and post-intervention
