🎶 Sound Meditation with Chloe Watts

SOUND MEDITATION - with Chloe Watts (In Person)

Sound has been part of our story as humans since the beginning. Gathering around a fire to listen, speak, be heard; to drum, sing, to celebrate and mourn.

The journey of a sound meditation will always be unique and intuitive, it will speak to a part of you that often gets overlooked. The part of us that knows how to feel without words or explanation. The part of us that can see without our eyes. If nothing else it is an opportunity to rest and relax. But often it is so much more.

The Gong is an ancient instrument, dating back to the 6th century. It is a disk-shaped percussion instrument that when struck with a mallet, vibrates and creates a rainbow of sound. Sound has long been forgotten for its healing potency in Western culture but is now becoming recognised again for its place in complementary medicine.

When played skilfully, the rhythm soothes the nervous system and relaxes the brain. A huge spectrum of sound is created by the Gong, and as the layers of sound build, they can be felt by those in a Gong Bath. These vibrations contain profound healing potential. In this relaxed state, energetic blockages are cleared; you may find yourself involuntarily twitching as everything starts to realign to its natural and harmonious state.

What you need to know:
We will start with a gentle simple stretch, guided meditation and some breathwork that seamlessly leads into the savasana with the sound. The sound then melts away to silence for a short time, and the sound of twinkling chimes and Chloe’s voice, maybe even some poetry brings you back to the room. We will ground back into life with a plant based treat.

For those of you looking for an alternative to meditation or relaxation, then a Sound Meditation can be a wonderful experience. As the body is bathed in sound-waves, the vibrational frequencies alter your state of being in a very real and tangible way. Some find the session deeply relaxing; others find it truly moving and that it brings about harmony and peace physiologically, spiritually and mentally.

• If you are pregnant and have not attended a sound meditation before, it is not advisable to attend.
• Some mental health conditions are contraindicated to meditation, if unsure please consult your GP first.
