Saturday Sound Baths @ Clyro Village Hall, Hay-on-Wye
Multiple dates and times
Clyro Village Hall (on Sat 19th Oct), HR3 5SA
Description
NEXT EVENT - Sat 19th October
We will now be offering two very different kinds of sound bath during October at Clyro Village Hall
🎶 Himalayan Brainwave Bowl Meditation Class: (newly added) These singing bowls were hand picked across Nepal for their specific frequencies, which create ethereal binaural tones when played together in certain combinations and cause your brainwaves to vibrate slower and shift towards a relaxing meditative state.
🚀 Gong & Sound Journey: A deeper sound journey facilitated by 3 powerful gongs, each with own character, vibration and range of frequencies, along with other sound healing instruments, including an ocean drum, koshi chimes, rain pillar and chakapa.
Gong & Sound Journey | 7pm - 8pm
Every Gong Sound Journey is different and a very personal experience depending on where you are on your personal journey through life.
You don't need to know how to meditate or focus on being mindful and present as the Gongs can quickly transport you to a meditative state for deeper relaxation
Following a guided meditation to aid presence and begin to slow down your nervous system you will be immersed in the sound of the Gongs as their powerful vibrations, multi dimensional frequencies and tones envelop you and help you let go of your daily conscious thoughts as your mind begins to slow down and entrain to the deeper dominant frequencies. This is when we start to journey with our creative subconscious, giving respite for our body and mind to reset.
Whilst everyone's experiences are very individual, often people describe seeing vivid colours and patterns, or a feeling of movement and journeying through varied landscapes or oceanic settings.
Often people report feeling deeply relaxed, subsequently sleeping better than they have for a while, whilst others leave feeling energised and full of vigour. Some also say that aches, pains or traumas are eased as their body and mind let go.
Whatever your personal experience, you may well let go of your daily stresses and anxieties, and leave the session feeling tranquil and relaxed.

Himalayan Brainwave Bowl Meditation Class | 8:30pm - 9:15pm
What to expect?
Settle down with your cushions and blankets to experience the Himalayan Brainwave Singing Bowls which have been carefully selected across Nepal to include closely matched frequencies that when played in certain combinations create ethereal binaural beats, which are perceived as a blend of floaty oscillating tones, which through a process called brainwave entrainment shift our mind's vibrating frequency from a busy 'beta' mindspace towards a calmer 'alpha' state of flow and into a deeper 'theta' brainwave state, which is associated with REM sleep, hypnosis and meditation, on the cusp on slumber.
Following a period of silence, once attendees eventually stir and remove their weighted eye pillows, they often report feeling a much needed sense of deep relaxation, some have also described leaving feeling light and sparkly, or like their aura is glowing.
