We will commence with restorative yoga (no experience neccesary) offering some breathing & relaxation exercises, slow movement & poses to support you physically, mentally & soothe the nervous system

Commencing in this way will allow us to settle into the sound bath even deeper

We will find a date & venue that suits you all come the autumn, so that you can slow down with the seasons & reset after a full summer, as we settle back in to a new term
Sofia will be in touch with Millie to figure out what, where & when flows best for everyone

~ABOUT SOUND HEALING ~

The magic of sound healing is that you do not need to 'do' anything to receive the magic & benefits, where simply lying down is enough. During a sound bath your 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 calm & support the nervous system. It can be particularly helpful for people living with hypertension, stress related issues, anxiety, sleep difficulties & beyond.

Everybody’s experience of a sound bath will differ & no two sound baths are ever the same!
What sounds are shared ~ When & How ~ Always depend on the session, the season, the space & energy of the group. The instruments also respond differently & make different sounds depending on these factors, especially gongs & drums I find.

People often experience an array of effects during sound baths. Experiences are vast, with common sensations includeing: visualisations ~ often colours, temperature changes, awareness & sensations in different body parts, feelings of floating, interesting ideas, memories & /or realisations, energy or emotional release, clarity, dreaminess, sleep, nothingness & beyond.

INSTRUMENTS THAT THAT WILL BE USED ~ Gongs, tibetan, crystal & alchemy singing bowls, drums, rattles, swinging chimes, rain stick, wah wah, tuning forks & some other sound making surprises.

MEET THE GONGS ~

~ A chinese wind gongs 20” ~ 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, offering 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.
