Sound relaxation – 1 hour sound experience, taster
If you find switching off or being able to ‘fully’ relax difficult, this could be something to try.
Join us for an event of complete self-nurturing;Â a sound relaxation using frame drum, ocean drum, Himalayan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs and various percussion instruments.
Get comfortable and warm on your mat (provided); bring enough layers, a blanket and a pillow, whatever you need to lie down for about 50 minutes. Close your eyes and relax whilst the gentle vibrations of sound wash over you, immersing you in positive energy.
‘When I attended my first sound bath, I walked into an open room that had yoga mats, blankets and pillows – it looked like a professional napping session. We laid down flat on our back and I was so grateful I’d brought things to be comfy and warm. For the first 10 minutes, I was really focused on the instructor and my thoughts – but very gently, I become more conscious of the sound, and breathing and something changed. I was fully aware, but in a deeply relaxed state. I felt calm, refreshed and rested.’Â
Is sound relaxation for me?
It is not recommended that you attend if; you are in the first 3 months of pregnancy, have epilepsy, experience seizures or have a severe heart condition.
If you have significant challenges with your mental health, for example, have received a new or recent diagnosis, are in crisis or experienced complex trauma – a sound experience may not be appropriate at this time.
You may be more sensitive to sound therapy if you have mental plates, have had recent surgery, broken bones or other major physical injuries, have a pacemaker, or if you experience tinnitus.
If you have any concerns in relation to the above, please let us know – prior to booking and we’ll arrange for you to speak with our class tutor..
