Sound Bath with Janie

A relaxing session listening to gongs and singing bowls

Here is some information you need to know ahead of the Sound Bath session, which involves listening to relaxing gongs and singing bowls:

• Head support is recommended so feel free to bring a pillow to rest your head on
• Please keep in mind that Sound Baths place people in meditative states, which allow individuals to reflect on themselves and their thoughts, it may become uncomfortable for you if this brings out strong emotions or painful memories. Sound Baths should be avoided for those with psychosis (hearing voices) as well as epilepsy, people taking heavy medication and anyone in the 1^st trimester of pregnancy. However, autism, anxiety, PTSD, dementia and some forms of depression are a few of the conditions that may benefit from Sound Baths. For people with hearing aids or hearing impairment, this practice may also cause some discomfort. Anyone with uncertainty should consult their doctor.

Janie is mindful that people may be in poor emotional health so will keep the sounds as gentle as possible. Feel free to have a chat with her before the session and she can tailor the sounds to individual needs.
