Step out of your busy life and into the tranquility of our studio for a monthly Sound Bath Healing Meditation workshop to lower stress and boost your wellbeing.

Sound healing and music healing therapy has been around for thousands of years and can be effective to clear energetic blockages and facilitate healing on a physical and mental level.

Sessions will be led by Sound Healing specialist Karen from Lavender Oaks Healing, using a range of instruments including gongs, Tibetan and Crystal sound bowls, shamanic drums and a range of other percussions style instruments.

'Music is a powerful tool to guide consciousness into higher realms and induce healing,' says Karen. 

Benefits of sound bathing include: 

• A reduction of stress and anxiety levels
• Lower heart rate levels
• A sense of wellbeing and positive mood
• Increased energy levels
• Induced state of meditation
• The unlocking of emotions
• Reduced muscle tension
• Improved sleep quality
• Peace and tranquillity
• Pain relief

What will happen in the session? 

Our bodies are like orchestras that can be played back into wellbeing using the vibration of sound. The powerful sound waves vibrate every cell in our bodies, releasing blocked energy, restoring balance and can also induce a state of meditation.

At the beginning of the session, there will be a short meditation and a demonstration of how sound healing works. And then, using the vibration of sound (Tibetan bowls, gongs and other instruments) the focus will be on clearing energetic blockages, the chakras, releasing stress/anxiety, muscle, tension, emotions and inducing a state of relaxation. 

This class is suitable for everyone. Karen advises to wear comfortable clothing and to bring a blanket in case you get chilly. 

How does sound healing work? 

This is a question people often ask. Sound healing is the therapeutic application of sound frequencies to the body, mind and emotions of a person with the intention of bringing them into a state of harmony and health.

During the sound healing, the brain waves slow down and move from a state of wakefulness (Beta) into a meditative state, an altered state of consciousness, where Alpha and Theta brain waves predominate. Brain waves begin to lock into phase and synchronise with the sound waves produced by the instruments.

Sound can also be used to induce a state of meditation, clear energetic blockages and facilitate healing on a physical and mental level. Benefits include lower stress levels and relaxation.
