A Sound Bath for the Summer Solstice

The Summer Solstice takes place on Thursday 20th June. This marks the first day of Summer when the sun reaches the highest point in the sky and will be the longest day and shortest night. The Sun is at its most potent on the Summer Solstice and it is recognised as a time of powerful healing, an opportunity to rejuvenate your spirit and reconnect with yourself. 

In the practice of Chinese Medicine, the heart is the Sun and Supreme Sovereign of the body and within the heart resides Shen. Shen is Spirit and we can nourish spirit through Fire element practises for the Heart to bring lightness, peace, calm, tranquillity, softness and joy. Joy is the full essence of Shen and it is the emotion associated with the Fire energy of the Heart. 

The intention of this Sound bath will be be a celebration of light - the light which nourishes our Earth and supports growth and life and to meet the light and lightness of the Heart space.

I invite you to join me for our nurturing sound meditation. The singing bowls and sound instruments will meet you with the intention to soothe, calm, nourish and restore your whole being.

Sound meditations are open to everyone. All you need to do is relax and be open to receive. Let go of all expectation and take on shoshin, the beginners mind.

Our session will be a soundscape where I immerse you in beautiful instrumental sounds that 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 ). You may also choose to bring a soft reclining chair if you prefer. 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, clinical mental health conditions or have implants / metal plates in the body which may be affected by the vibration of the sounds. Seek advice from your doctor first.
