~MORE ABOUT SOUND HEALING ~

A gentle practice that invites you to settle into softness as soothing sounds transport you into a sense of timelessness. The magic of sound healing is that you do not need to 'do' anything to receive the magic & benefits.

As our body & mind is bathed in oscillating waves of sound, this promotes a relaxed state of consciousness to arise, allowing our brain to travels between different wave states. Scientific evidence shows that the specific frequencies & resonances of healing instruments effect us on a molecular level & can speed up healing of many kinds. Clearing stagnant energy, allowing our nervous system to relax & welcome a more holistic state of balance into the body.
Sound baths are particularly supportive for stress related issues, anxiety, sleep difficulties, hyper tension, busy minds & more.

Everybody’s experience of a sound bath will differ & no two sound baths are ever the same!
What sounds we share ~ When & How ~ Always depend on the session, the season, the space & energy of the group.

I N S T R U M E N T S ~

We will weave together the power of the Gong, Tibetan, crystal & alchemy singing bowls, drums, rattles, swinging chimes, rain stick & some other sound making surprises.

~ MEET THE GONGS ~

~ Chinese wind gongs 20” & 25” ~ We will walk around the room with these ~ A healing all rounder, said to encourage ‘centering’.
~ A 32” symphonic gong ~Who’s makers ~ Paiste (German) say: 'It's fundamental note is balanced with its own complex overtones', meaning that it’s tuned to create a compatible blend of resonance – so offers a wide variety of harmonious sound for holistic balance.

Gongs are said to ~
Mentally ~ Encourages wisdom, purity & clarity.
Emotionally ~ Help release negativity & promote a clearing & opening.
Physically ~ Awakening a sensitivity to the present state of our body's energy reserves.
