About this Event
Allow yourself to be immersed in sound. The gong is said to represent the sound of creation; let yourself go on a journey beyond consciousness and matter.The full moon is a time to find gratitude, ask for guidance and celebrate where we are and where we wish to go. A time for setting intentions.We will be using ancient instruments to help manifest these intentions, as well as promoting deep relaxation and stress release. We will be creating a soundscape with different instruments, as well as giving you individual attention as you experience sound in a 5-D form.As well as the gong, you can expect Tibetan bowls, crystal bowls, Native American flutes, chimes, conch shells, and many others.
What is a Sound bath?
Just like the name indicates, it is a bath with vibrations and frequencies instead of water. It is a cleansing experience, removing any blockages, stagnation and toxins in your body and mind.
It is a safe space to connect back to your own breath, body and higher consciousness. It is an opportunity not just to hear sounds, but to allow every single cell and molecule in your your body, to listen and feel the sound in their authentic essence.
It provides a place to stop doing and simply being. The vibrations will signal the limbic system to return to a calm state, activating our parasympathetic nervous system response, aka “Rest & Digest”.
Who is this session for?
This session is aimed for anyone who is curious and/or passionate about sound and is interested in taking some time to care for oneself and self-nourish. You don’t need any musical background to enjoy the power of sound.
Anyone can benefit from Sound Healing, wether it is to feel more rested and calmer, to improve sleep or even just to treat yourself!
What to bring:
Mats and props will be provided; bring comfortable clothes with nothing tight around the stomach/waist and a water bottle.
