You’ll be warmly welcomed and gently supported in choosing the perfect spot for you. You’ll be offered essential oils to pop on your wrists and temples, and there will be an opportunity for an individual oracle card pull to help you set a personal intention for the session. We’ll begin with simple, grounding breathwork and a guided summer meditation to invite in the essence of the season ☀️. You’ll then settle onto your yoga mat, get cosy under a blanket, with a lavender eye pillow if you wish. As you rest, the sounds of therapeutic healing instruments will wash over you, inviting deep relaxation and allowing solar energy to connect with you on a cellular level - filling you with positivity, motivation, and a renewed sense of purpose. You’ll be gently brought back with soothing music and grounding Reiki energy. Before you leave, you’ll be offered a warm drink and a grounding snack, before you leave feeling uplifted, restored, and inspired 💛.It is advisable to wear comfortable layers so you can warm up/cool down as necessary and bring a bottle of water. Please note this venue is warm! Yoga mats, bolster cushions and eye pillows are provided but please bring a comfy pillow, blanket, bottle of water and anything else you need for your own comfort.
This event will be hosted by Maureen Leatherbarrow, a certified Sound Therapist, Reiki Master/Teacher, Meditation Teacher, Cacao Facilitator and Crystal Therapist. She will ensure you are made welcome and cared for throughout the session.
What is a sound bath?
A sound bath is a submersion in sound, using therapeutic instruments. Rest & relax as you are supported & guided on a vibrational journey, immersed in the healing frequencies of Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls, Himalayan Metal Bowls, the gong, rattles & chimes, which will encourage you to slow down and just be in mind, body & spirit.
In various cultures, sound has been used as a healing medium since the ancient times. The sounds from the instruments produce powerful tones that resonate & vibrate through every cell of the body with the common intention to create flow & release resistance as well as activating the parasympathetic nervous system, the bodies’ natural rest & digest state. The sound frequencies slow down the brainwaves, initiating a meditative & dreamlike state, a beautiful place of stillness.
In addition, sound baths can stimulate the body’s natural healing responses. Benefits can include:
deep relaxation
inner peace
anxiety & stress relief
improved sleep & mood
increased energy flow
regulation of the nervous system
improved immune system
cell rejuvenation
energetic shifts & release
balance & alignment
enhanced clarity and self-awareness
Sound baths are calming and yet powerful, affecting everyone differently. Often people may experience physical sensations in the body such as vibration or movement as stagnant energies, blocked emotions & thoughts are released, restoring the body's natural alignment and flow.
There are certain conditions & circumstances that sound therapy is unsuitable for ... so please do read the following information carefully before booking and get in touch with Maureen (07903931169) if you have any questions....
Pregnancy
It is believed that there are many positive and beneficial effects to be gained from sound and vibration on the growing foetus. Hearing the crystal singing bowls is always very gentle around the pregnant mother for the healthy and positive effect of both mother and baby. However, sessions are not advised when less than 12 weeks pregnant.
Epilepsy
There is a rare form of epilepsy where music or sound can trigger an epileptic seizure. The sound is unique to the person who is usually aware of their triggers. This is linked to those people with brain lesions which are usually detected early in life, and most clients will be fully aware of their condition and triggers and would more than likely avoid this type of treatment.
Brain Injury
In the case of recovery from brain injury, it is not advised to have sound vibration.
Mental Health
Mental illness can range from anxiety, depression and mood disorders (that have a severe and tangible effect on your emotions and motivation) to psychotic disorders like schizophrenia (that affect your perceptions or senses with delusions or hallucinations). Living with any of these can be debilitating. We rely on our minds, feelings, and perceptions to get through the day. When any of those fail, it can make life difficult. Sound baths are not suitable for people with severe mental health conditions.
Implants or plates in the body (pacemakers, metal plates, pins, ball joints in particular)
The vibrations we experience when a Crystal Singing Bowl is being played may cause discomfort through the pulse of the sound transferring into the metal place or implant and even move or disrupt its function. It is best to make an informed decision and seek advice from your GP before taking part in a sound bath.
Sound Sensitivities
You may wish to position yourself further away from the crystal bowls and request that sound is not directed at you during the session.
Hearing Impairment
Sound healing can still be of benefit, you will receive the sounds as healing vibrations through your body. You may wish to be positioned closer to the instruments.
Heart Conditions & Medication
Sound baths may also not be suitable for those with severe heart conditions, high or abnormal blood pressure, or a history of aneurisms.
A sound bath may not be suitable if you are on heavy prescribed medication or have had recent surgery.
If you have any medical conditions, then it is always advisable to check with your doctor before undertaking a sound bath.
By booking your ticket, you are agreeing that this session is safe for you and that you take full responsibility for your own well-being.
