Forest Bathing & Sound Bath. Come Dive Deep into Nature's Symphony!

Sound Bath/Meditation/Journey - An ancient meditative practice with roots from two thousand years ago in Tibet.

The use of sound therapy has been with us since the creation of humanity. We are literally wired to respond to sound!

Our Ancestors healed broken bones, muscle tears and illnesses of every kind using sound frequency with tuning forks, the didgeridoo, native drums, Tibetan bowls etc.

In a sound bath, the brainwave state is altered from normal waking state where we think and take action(beta) to relaxed state or unfocused (alpha), dreamlike state, REM sleep (theta), and its even possible to get into restorative state, healing is able to take place in this state(delta).

As the mind and body relax, the heart rate and blood pressure decrease, and our breathing becomes softer, the pulse and heart rate decrease, and you feel more connected to your inner world rather than the outside world.

This is the golden state of a sound bath, and it is the state in which the body's natural healing capabilities are triggered and can result in miraculous shifts within one's body, mind, and emotional state. This includes reducing anxiety, diminished pain, feeling generally happier and leads to a renewed sense of purpose.

The tones produced by the crystal singing bowls in a sound bath are not just heard by the ear, you'll feel them in your body, with certain tones affecting your energy centers called the chakras, for healing and balancing. Crystal singing bowls have the ability to rebalance or heal chakras because each energy centre has a unique vibrational frequency that interacts with the vibrational frequencies created when playing a crystal singing bowl.

Since quartz is an amplifier and a transmitter, the frequencies are amplified as the bowls are played, allowing the crystals to sing or talk.

***It is important to keep your intentions in a high vibrational state while experiencing the crystal bowls both for the person playing and the person receiving. ***
