Create space to allow your intuition to shine through.
Sound Healing is an ancient technique in which instruments and voice are used to realign the body physically and energetically. Any sound is vibration; just as some sounds can lead us to feel stressed or uncomfortable, other sounds can induce us into feel relaxed and at ease.
Crystal bowls, made from quartz crystal, create pure and healing sounds that emit healing frequencies.
You can expect to be laying down throughout the session, cosied up in a blanket with a whilst the magic happens. We will begin with a relaxing breathing exercise and meditation to assist in transitioning the nervous system into a relaxed state, followed by the playing of the bowls.
As we are made up of vibration, it’s the vibration of the bowls resonating with the body that creates shift so all you need to do is turn up and give yourself permission to relax.
In a fasted paced World, this practice gives space for self-healing. When we create space for ourselves, we have some of our best realisations, let go of what no longer serves us and most importantly reconnect to ourselves to be our best and truest versions of who we were born to be.
