The Church Newent - Chamber 22 - Gong and Sound Bath

I warmly invite you to come and lie down for an hour or so and enter a state of deep relaxation. To be taken deep into a space of calm and to discover peace and connection. To relax to the sounds of the gong, drum, flutes, crystal singing bowls, himalayan singing bowls, rattles, bells, other percussion instruments and channelled voice in a beautiful space. Stress busting, relaxing and deeply healing. No need for any experience in this or in meditating. It is non denominational, non religious. Just an opportunity to take an hour for yourself and relax.

What CALM say about sound baths:

Sound bath meditation may bring many benefits for both physical and mental health. Whether you’re seeking relief from physical pain, emotional distress, or looking for peace, sound baths might be able to engage the body's healing capabilities and nurture your wellbeing.

1. Stress reduction and anxiety relief: The resonant frequencies produced by the instruments are thought to interact directly with our body's energy centers, which might help dissipate the buildup of stress and anxiety by shifting the nervous system from the fight-or-flight response to a state of rest.

2. Improved sleep quality: Sound bath meditation may help with insomnia and sleep disturbances, as the soothing sound waves can promote deep relaxation, making it easier for the body to transition into sleep. Many find that regular sound baths help regulate sleep patterns, reducing sleep-related issues.

3. Enhanced mental clarity and focus: A sound bath may help clear away the clutter of incessant thoughts and worries, helping concentration and focus.

4. Deepened meditation and spiritual insight: The vibrations of sound baths are thought to help you connect with your subconscious mind, allowing inner exploration and self-discovery. Sometimes people experience profound insights or epiphanies during a sound bath.

5. Physical healing and pain relief: Sound bath meditation is thought to stimulate circulation, enhance immune response, and may promote the healing of tissues and cells. People with chronic pain conditions, such as arthritis or fibromyalgia, often note a reduction in symptoms.

6. Emotional release and healing: Sound baths can create a safe space for emotional exploration and release. Because they’re thought to release emotions, powerful sound waves may help people heal past traumas or deal with grief
