Rejuvenate with Sound

Lead: Kate Stewart

Kate is Reiki and Sound Practitioner working with Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls. Her mission is to help others find peace and balance within their lives and support them on their journey into Sound Healing.

Description

A Sound Bath is a meditative acoustic experience created by the player with the intention of guiding the audience into an explorative inner world through sound and bringing them to a more relaxed and peaceful state.Some of the benefits include a reduction of stress and anxiety, strengthening of the immune system, improved sleep, a calmer and more peaceful state of being, tension release, clearing blocked energy and rebalancing the chakras.

Breakdown of session

• Kate will start the session by checking in with everyone and sharing a little bit more about how the singing bowls work and what you might feel or experience throughout the session.

• As the receiver all you need to do is get comfortable and witness the sounds and sensations as they occur. After around 10-12mins the body and mind will start to relax and you may fall into a meditative state or restful sleep.

• After Kate finishes playing the Alchemy Crystal Singing bowls after around 40mins, there will be a period of silence between 5-10mins where the body can rest in the stillness and absorb the benefits of these vibrations. Kate will slowly and gently bring you back to your space where you will feel comfortable to open your eyes again.

• There will be time at the end to ask questions about the practice.

Setting your space

• You'll want to find a comfortable place where you will be undisturbed. Lying on a yoga mat, bed or sofa is fine. Or seated in a chair if you prefer to stay seated.

• If you want to go inwards I'd recommend covering your eyes with an eye mask or scarf

• Headphones are best for sound quality, if not then make sure you're connected to a decent speaker

• Wear comfortable loose clothing and have blanket or something to keep you nice and warm - it is common for your body temperature to drop during a sound bath

• Phones off so you won't be disturbed!
