Our next community Sound bath will take place on
Saturday 21st December 8-9pm
Winter Solstice
The Winter Solstice will be upon us within 4 weeks. The shortest day and longest night - Nature’s shift to the Winter season but with the promise that the light will return and part of our Earths continuous cycle of growth and renewal.
Winter is the time of deepest Yin - a time for rest and renewal. In Chinese medicine and the Five Element cycle, this is the phase of the Water element. This phase is a time for inward reflection and conserving energy - deep introspection and rejuvenation. Think of the beautiful and calm still waters of a peaceful lake.
“Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom”
Francis Bacon
In our sound bath this month, we will nourish the Water energy of the Winter season. Connect to stillness and be open to the shift and release of the energy and vibrations of the sound instruments.
Sound meditations are open to everyone. All you need to do is soften and be open to receive. Let go of all expectation and take on shoshin, the beginners mind.
Our session is a soundscape where I will immerse you in beautiful instrumental sounds which can bring a nurturing energy to our whole being. These Sound meditations are a great way to unplug from the fast activities and stresses that can often be the reality of life and open ourselves to a slower pace. Sound frequencies can help slow down the brainwaves by shifting from the more active (beta) state to a more relaxed (delta) or deep meditation or dreamlike (theta) state. When the mind is relaxed, the body softens and it is here that we can begin to experience subtle shifts in energy which may cultivate a pathway on a journey towards self healing.
I will begin the session with a guided meditation to relax the body calm the mind preparing you to receive the sounds and vibrations from instruments played.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Bring a yoga mat or other soft mat to lie on plus a pillow, blanket and eye mask ( or scarf to cover the eyes ). Come with an open mind and open heart to receive the sounds of the Ocean drum, Tibetan singing bowls, quartz crystal bowls, gong and chimes.
Please note that these sessions are not suitable if you are in your first trimester of pregnancy or suffer epilepsy.
