This sound journey is inspired by the element of Fire. As the clocks go forward, we embrace the energy of the sun and welcome the return of light, mirroring the fiery energy of Aries, the first sign of the zodiac: a spark of initiation, courage, and forward momentum. This session features Paiste bronze gongs and therapeutic percussion, including thunder drum, chimes, rainstick, and shakers. Gongs, with their rich, deep, and complex vibrations, are powerful instruments that mirror the sun’s radiant energy and its ability to energise, illuminate, and transform. This session invites you to recharge your batteries and reconnect with your inner fire; on a journey of alchemy through sound.
What’s included:
🔥 Guided visualisation to help you connect with the element of FIRE.
🌿 Energising gong bath featuring Paiste bronze gongs and therapeutic percussion.
🌿 Time for optional sharing, creating space to reflect, integrate, and connect.
🌿 Herbal tea & 70% cacao craft chocolate made in East Lothian (vegan friendly).
🌿 Everything you need to make a cosy nest will be provided.
Doors open at 10:50am - Please wait outside and Lindsay will let you in!

I am delighted you have chosen to attend this session and look forward to meeting you. Below are some simple guidelines to help you get the most out of your experience:
✨ My aim is to provide a welcoming and relaxing space for everyone, so please arrive promptly. You will not be able to enter once the sound bath has started.
✨ Please put your phone on silent or turn it off when you arrive.
✨ Wear comfortable, warm clothing that allows you to move freely. You will be lying (or sitting) down during the sound bath.
✨ Avoid eating heavily before the session and do not drink alcohol or take any illegal substances prior to attending.
✨ The session will include a gong crescendo, which is often described as invigorating, energising, and exhilarating. Many people say they really enjoy this, but some people do find this part a wee bit overwhelming or challenging. If that’s the case for you, I invite you to bring your attention to your breath, using slow, deep breathing to help you stay grounded.
✨ Like most holistic approaches, sound therapy sessions can sometimes trigger a personal process. If this happens, remember to stay mindful and be a compassionate witness to your experience. If anything challenging comes up, you can always come back to your breathing, open your eyes, or focus on the sound.
✨ I am a qualified Sound Therapy Practitioner (British Academy of Sound Therapy). My approach is underpinned by a reflective method, which can help you process your experience. Sound therapy is a complementary holistic approach and should not be considered a replacement for other forms of treatment, such as counselling or medical care.
