Sound Bath
Sound Bath: Experience a deeply meditative sound bath immersed within the sounds and the elements. Let the sound literally wash away your stress and bring you to a beautiful state of calm whilst activating your body's own natural system of self-healing. This will be a very healing heart opening and shakti awakening experience. The gongs vibrations impact the body and all its meridians. It releases blocks, reduces tension and stimulates circulation. The gongs also changes the feelings that are blocked by cutting the thoughts and allowing you to tap into your subconscious. Sound is so effective as it deeply influences our emotional bodies as well as our physical bodies. The varying sound frequencies interact with our physical and energetic bodies in so many beneficial ways.
