SOUND BATHS

Sound Baths are a great way to relieve stress by immersing participants in soothing sounds that help to promote the body’s natural relaxation. This experience has been found to reduce anxiety and stress and help people to find balance and harmony.

Some benefits of sound baths include:

Stress reduction
Enhanced focus &amp; creativity
Reduction in anxiety
Increase in listening ability
Stillness, peace &amp; harmony

Precautions and Contraindications of sound healing:

Pregnancy

It is believed that there are many positive and beneficial effects to be gained from sound and vibration on the growing foetus. Hearing the crystal singing bowls is always very gentle around the pregnant mother for the healthy and positive effect of both mother and baby. However, sessions are not advised when less than 12 weeks pregnant.

Epilepsy

There is a rare form of epilepsy where music or sound can trigger an epileptic seizure. The sound is unique to the person who is usually aware of their triggers. This is linked to those people with brain lesions which are usually detected early in life, and most clients will be fully aware of their condition and triggers and would more than likely avoid this type of treatment.

Brain Injury

In the case of recovery from brain injury, it is not advised to have sound vibration.

Mental Health

Mental illness can range from anxiety, depression and mood disorders (that have a severe and tangible effect on your emotions and motivation) to psychotic disorders like schizophrenia (that affect your perceptions or senses with delusions or hallucinations). Living with any of these can be debilitating. We rely on our minds, feelings, and perceptions to get through the day. When any of those fail, it can make life difficult. Sound baths are not suitable for people with severe mental health conditions.

Implants or plates in the body (pacemakers, metal plates, pins, ball joints in particular)

The vibrations we experience when a Crystal Singing Bowl is being played may cause discomfort through the pulse of the sound transferring into the metal place or implant and even move or disrupt its function. It is best to make an informed decision and seek advice from your GP before taking part in a sound bath.

Sound Sensitivities

You may wish to position yourself further away from the crystal bowls and request that sound is not directed at you during the session.

Hearing Impairment

Sound healing can still be of benefit, you will receive the sounds as healing vibrations through your body. You may wish to be positioned closer to the instruments.

IT IS ALWAYS ADVISABLE TO CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE ATTENDING A SOUND BATH IF YOU HAVE ANY HEALTH CONDITIONS.

CACAO 

Cacao has been used by many cultures for centuries and the joy of cacao is now being discovered in the western world. Ceremonial grade cacao empowers you to step into your own truth, to show the world the person you have always been underneath all the programming, expectation and conditioning. It really supports you to rediscover yourself! Cacao also has powerful healing abilities; it is known to help remove anything not in alignment bringing you back into alignment with your highest self. Please note that cacao is NOT hallucinogenic!! 

One of the world’s best kept secrets is the magic that exists within cacao. It's more than just a powerful plant medicine  and has numerous health &amp; spiritual benefits:

BRAIN BOOSTER – Flavanols in cacao sharpens focus and improves memory.

HEART HERO – Lowers bad cholesterol, boosts blood flow and keeps the heart happy and healthy.

MOOD MAGICIAN – Cacao releases feel-good neurotransmitters like Serotonin, giving a natural happiness boost.

ANTIOXIDANT ALL-STAR – Packed with antioxidants, cacao fights free radicals and keeps cells looking &amp; feeling young.

SLEEP SAVIOUR – Magnesium in cacao makes you feel calm &amp; relaxed &amp; aids sleep, you wake up feeling like a well-rested warrior. 

We will drink 'Full Power' ceremonial grade cacao (as seen on Dragon's Den) from Venezuela which is known as 'Food of the Gods'. There are some health contraindications listed below for you to read. Please note ... on this event we will only be consuming a small amount of cacao! The cacao will be prepared with oat milk, pink himalayan salt and Agava Nectar to sweeten it. If for any reason you are not happy to consume any of these or any of the contraindications apply then please contact Maureen (07903931169) so we can look at alternatives for you so you can still safely enjoy this event. If you do not wish to consume cacao, you can have a herbal tea and can still enjoy the event...

*PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CACAO SAFETY INFORMATION*

While cacao is safe to drink. You need to make us aware if any of the following applies:

❤ You are taking any prescribed medication, particularly anti-depressants (MAOI based antidepressants are contraindicated with the tyramine in chocolate and SSRI type antidepressants because of the MAOI’s in cacao). 

❤ Serious heart conditions (theobromine in cacao increases heart rate significantly and is a vasodilator, lowering blood pressure).

❤ Pregnancy and breast feeding (theobromine in cacao has a stimulating effect).

*It is strongly advised to consult with a Doctor if any of the above applies to you before consuming cacao*

YIN YOGA

YIN yoga is a form of traditional Chinese Medicine. Targeting connective tissues such as ligaments and fascia Yin helps to release tension in the body and therefore aids more fluid movement. Postures are held for between 5-8 minutes using props like bolster cushions and yoga blocks for support. This practice is characterised by long relaxed holds and is perfect for complete beginners.

Precautions for Yin Yoga

Osteoporosis or Osteopenia

Prolonged spinal flexion can increase the risk of vertebral compression fractures in people with low bone density.

Joint Hypermobility

People with loose joints should approach yin with caution. The practice can destabilise rather than strengthen joints.

Pregnancy and Postpartum

The hormone relaxin increases ligament elasticity, making pregnant and postpartum people prone to overstretching and potential joint injury. 

Acute Injuries 

It is advisable to avoid yin until injuries are fully healed.

Disc Issues

People with herniated or bulging discs should be careful with poses that put prolonged pressure or flexion on the spine.

*It is strongly advised to consult with a Doctor if any of the above applies to you*
