About Sound Healing:
What happens during a sound bath?
Participants are literally bathed in waves of sound, helping many people desist from ruminative thinking. A sound bath can help shift brainwaves from the Beta mode of everyday wakefulness to one of the following states:
- Alpha, where the brain is relaxed and receptive
- Theta, associated with deep meditation, dreaming, visions and possible moments of insight.
- Delta , as experienced during deep sleep and bringing the benefits of profound rest.
Sound bath practicalities
- The sound bath and meditation are both experienced laying on the floor so please bring something comfortable (e.g. yoga mat, quilt, pillow) to rest upon and keep you warm.
- Mobile phones/tablets need to be switched off.
- Please refrain from using any substances, including alcohol, whilst attending a sound bath and drink plenty of water afterwards.
- Sorry, no late admission once a sound bath has started.
Possible benefits
The combination of meditation and sound healing can have a range of effects, including:
- deep relaxation
