Take some time out and enjoy a relaxing Sound bath that is designed to relax and restore on Saturday 18th May at 12.30pm until 2.30pm. The immersive Sound bath will follow an hour’s social session giving a great opportunity to get to know each other, have an informal chat and discuss any highs or lows of the menopause or anything you would like to get off your chest!
After meeting, led by the sounds of drums, singing bowls and chimes, we’ll float away into a meditative state, providing an ideal environment to de-stress, disconnect from the world around you and your daily life, carving out space for you to focus on yourself.
We’ll begin with a brief explanation of what to expect in the session and an explanation of the instruments that will be used. Following that, you’ll make yourself comfortable on your yoga mat with any pillows and blankets you’ve brought and you’ll be given a moment to silently set your own intention for the session. We’ll then do a short breathing exercise to begin to relax and feel grounded before we begin.
During this time, qualified Sound Therapist Matt, will move around the space, playing over and around you to deepen the experience. All you need to do is lay down and listen as he moves through the instruments.
At the end, you will be prompted to open your eyes and sit up when you feel ready. It can be good to take some deep breaths and do some gentle stretches just to get you moving again, have some water and maybe make some notes about the experience if you’ve brought a notepad.
Although many people find sound baths relaxing, they can also be quite intense. Different people respond to sounds in different ways and the instruments are designed to do different things. A gong or drum has a very different impact to the sound of a high note crystal bowl, for example.
Laying on the floor on a yoga mat is the most usual way to experience a sound bath as it’s the most relaxing position for most people. However, it is in no way compulsory. Some people prefer to sit with their back against the wall, or in a chair, both of which are perfectly fine. If you need to move or re-adjust during the session, that’s fine too.
Space are just £5 per person – book your spot HERE .
