~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.
A sound healing session is likely to leave you in a serene, deeply relaxed & energised state. It may be particularly helpful for people living with hypertension, stress related issues, anxiety, sleep difficulties & beyond.

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

CONTRA INDICATIONS ~ Not advised for people with a pace maker or in the first trimester of pregnancy ~ Feel free to be in contact if you have any questions.

~ 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.
