The Benefits of Meditation
Learning to meditate can bring many benefits into your daily life.
Regular meditation can help us to learn to live in the 'now'. Not worrying about the past, or what is yet to come, but actually being present and getting the most out of life as we live it.
Scientific studies have shown the many physical and psychological benefits of regular meditation. Amongst other things it can help alleviate stress and anxiety; reduce blood pressure and slow the heart rate; help the brain to increase its neuroplasticity - where the brain forms new neural connections; initiate the 'relaxation response' and help us to increase our self-awareness and be more aware of our own needs and the needs of others.

What is a Sound Bath?
Sound bath meditation is an ancient practice designed to bring deep states of relaxation and meditation. It uses a variety of instruments, including Himalayan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, and sometimes the human voice, to create a landscape of sound that washes over you.
Sound Waves
The combination of sound waves are designed to be heard but also felt physically, engaging the parasympathetic nervous system, and encouraging a deep state of relaxation. This may help lower blood pressure, reduce stress hormone levels, and slow the heart rate, inviting the body to potentially heal and restore itself and enhance wellbeing.
What to Expect
You'll be greeted by a serene, welcoming environment that promotes relaxation, with mats, cushions, and blankets to create a comfortable resting place on the floor. There will be gentle lighting, and aromatherapy to enhance the sensory experience.
An Individual Experience
A sound bath can be a deeply personal experience. Some people enter a meditative state easily, while others might focus on the physical sensations of the sound waves moving through their bodies. Participants sometimes report feeling waves of joy, sadness, or peace.
