I am often asked What is the Sound Bath? Sound Journey, Sound Meditation, Sound Shower, Gong Bath, known by many different names, but what is it, what do you have to do to attend? My response is come, lie down, make yourself comfortable, snuggled under a blanket, knowing that you have gifted yourself this time, just for you, focus on the sounds, your breathing and simply, just be in the moment. It’s an ideal way to switch off to relax and see what unfolds!
The purpose is for participants to be immersed in Sound, vibration and resonance leading them to a place of deep relaxation, rest and a sense of calm. Using various instrument their waves of sound wash over you, bathing you in Sound. I use a variety of world instrument including Hang drum, Hand Pans, Tibetan Singing Bowls, Crystal bowls, Gongs, Native American flute and chimes, my Sound family is forever growing as I delve deeper into the frequencies, tones and their calming effect.
It is often said that Sound Meditations can be a short cut to a Meditative state, which can be so very difficult to achieve in silence, when the mind becomes overactive, the ‘Monkey Mind’ just keeps jumping and swinging everywhere! Sound can ease this and lead to a calmer head space.
The benefits of Sound Meditation can include, relaxation and calmness of mind and body, clearing emotional blockages, releases tension in the body, I am always interested in the feedback I receive, research and studies like this Observational Study benefits of sound therapy
The benefits of Sound can be for everyone, but please note not recommended for women in first three months pregnancy, those with pace maker or sound related epilepsy.
