Paula, Olivier, Michael, Purl and Janet will be your guides for the evening as they bring their love for sounds combining multiple unique gongs, didgeridoos, and other healing/soothing instruments to take you on an all immersive surround sound journey to improve your emotional and physical wellbeing, giving you time and space to set new intentions for 2023.
The evening will start with a gentle guided meditation, leading you into a deep sound experience where we join together and become one with first frequency.
How a Sound Bath works
It is said that dis-ease occurs in the physical body because of the mind not being at ease. The last couple of years have proved challenging for everyone and taken its toll both physically and psychologically, affecting the way we connect, not just with ourselves, but with each other and with our surroundings. We are energetic beings and every cell in our body has a precise frequency, and when the body is out of frequency (synchronicity), it results in illness. Think of the discordant sounds from an orchestra that is not in synch. The energy of sound harmony and synchronicity attempts to address discord and disharmony. The desired objective is the union of the mind, body and spirit.
Sound baths are energy medicine that bring balance to the whole body, holistically and nothing is left unaffected. The mind lets go of thoughts, constant mind chatter is silenced, and the body relaxes, enabling portals to open, allowing questions long pondered to be answered, allowing the body to correct itself, bringing you back into synchronicity. This is your time to connect with your deeper self. To rest, receive, rebalance and restore. To shake off the stresses of life and set new intentions. There is nothing to do, no dogma to follow, nowhere to be, but in the present moment. Let your mind and every cell in your body absorb the vibrational sound frequencies. Go with the journey and 'be'.
Meet some of your Guides
Paula's journey with sound started in 2015 when she experienced the sound of the gong for the first time. What she experienced was deeply esoteric and had to be delved into further. Since then, Paula qualified as a sound practitioner and has incorporated the didgeridoo in her sound baths and most recently purchased one from her stay in Uluru, the spiritual heartland of Australia.
Mike is a qualified sound meditation practitioner who has been playing the ancient Australian didjeridoo since the 90’s. Whether spinning tribal beats at club nights or facilitating otherworldly sound baths across London, his mission is to elevate his surroundings with avant garde vibrations.
Janet is a yogi whose favourite pose is savasana. She has a classical music background and a passion for all kinds of musical instruments and good vibrations. Her mission is to share the benefits of sound in the community. Private and corporate sessions are tailored to individual needs. (www.malletandgong.studio)
