Immerse yourself into a relaxing sound bath, letting the acient technique of sound therapy soothe your soul. For those unfamiliar with sound baths, there is unfortunately no bathing involved! (I have had people imagine that they are in a huge tub listening to music before....that sounds like my kind of therapy! ) After a gentle floor based yoga session to relax your body, the sound bath will begin. Using 7 crystall bowls, each linked to a chakra within your body; crown, third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral and root chakra, the bowls emit different frequencies and the sounds will vibrate through your body helping to clear any blockages and negative energy stored within. Whilst this is a completely non evasive treatment for certain people it is not recommened. Anyone with a pace maker or mechanical device within their body, due to the vibrations potentially causing a shift. Pregnant ladies in their first and third trimester-please seek advice from your midwife prior to attending. Anyone suffering with severe mental health issues- please seek advice from a medical practioner before attending to see if they agree that this is a suitable therapy which will not trigger you and make your condition worse. All equipment is provided. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Namaste, Lisa
