We are energy
​We are all made up of energy, making sound healing a potent modality to aid in the release of stagnant energy stored in our body, bringing restoration to the body's natural energy balance. Imagine a glass of water next to a speaker - sounds emitted from the speaker will be transferred to the body of water using vibration. We see this transfer of energy through formations of patterns and shapes that appear on the waters surface. Our bodies are much like the glass of water and the speaker is much like the musical instruments played in a sound bath. The human body is composed of approximately 70% water, which makes us a great conductor of sound.
When attending a sound bath, our body will form a type of "entrainment", a method to stimulate the brain's electrical response to rhythmic sensory stimulation. This entrainment can shift brain wave states and send the listener into a deep relaxation, even into sleep. This entrainment brings our bodies into a healthy vibration, resonating with the healing frequencies played, allowing our bodies to work it's magic and heal the self.
​
When exposed to healthy frequencies and vibrations over a set period of time, our body can begin to heal itself on a cellular level. There are many factors that bring us out of balance such as stress, worry, anxiety, depression, panic attacks and more. When these energies and emotions become stored in the body such as in our muscle tissues, especially over long periods of time, their obstruction and restriction can result in illness and disease. Sound Healing is a modality to assist in the calibration of the body's energy field, promoting optimal health and wellbeing.
Vibrations generated by sound therapy may activate the body's inherent relaxation response. This response, commonly referred to as the parasympathetic nervous system, plays a crucial role in decelerating the heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and fostering relaxation. By engaging in this response, sound therapy has the potential to de-stress and encourage sensations of tranquility and calmness.
Beyond its physiological impacts, sound therapy is also believed to offer psychological advantages. The profound relaxation and serenity experienced during a sound bath may assist in alleviating anxiety and enhance mental clarity. Furthermore, sound therapy has the ability to aid in releasing emotional blockages and facilitate deeper healing.

What to expect during a session?
You'll be greeted and welcomed into the venue as you decipher where to place your yoga mat before lying down. Incense or sage may be burning, you may see candle light and/or a projector of gentle moving lights as you look up to the ceiling. This is to draw your focus if you prefer your eyes to be open. You may help yourself to additional, blankets, pillows and hand made lavender eye masks if wish to do so. Once everyone is comfortable, we open the sound ceremony with a a little breath work and a guided meditation to induce a deeper relaxed state of mind and body. Due to the nature of energy work, some may experiencing results that resonate on both emotional and physical levels due to the process of physical and spiritual detoxification. During this process, it's important to come back to the breath, helping one anchor themselves into the here and now. By simply coming back to the breath, we move away from the mind and back into our physical body, anchoring us in the present moment. Any stagnant energy need space for it to shift and be released, a little like toxins being expelled from the body. As individuals continue to attend subsequent sessions, they begin to notice tangible improvements such as reductions in stress, anxiety, or depression, alleviation of physical discomfort, fewer headaches, improved sleep quality, and the release of accumulated emotions.
What do you need to do?
You do not need to do anything, Just Book your ticket, turn up at least 10 minutes before the event, lie back on your yoga mat and allow the frequencies and vibrations of the singing bowls, gong and chimes to wash over you. That is the beauty of a sound bath - the sound itself does the work for you. All you need to do is welcome the sounds in without expectation, without trying to control a desired outcome. Instead focus on your breath, slow yourself right down, and let the vibrations shift and help release any trapped energy in the body.
