27 Oct & 3 Nov Chi sound healing session Brent Cross Town

Sound Baths for Adults

Release tension, find inner peace, enjoy deep relaxation and let your body begin to heal from stress and trauma at a sound bath session with Chi Sound Healing.

Sound Baths for Adults

Release tension, find inner peace, enjoy deep relaxation and let your body begin to heal from stress and trauma at a sound bath session with Chi Sound Healing. During this 75-minute session, you will relax on a yoga mat while your guide plays sacred sounds on gongs, crystal and Tibetan singing bowls and other shamanic instruments.

Sessions start with a short, guided meditation which allows you to drop into a very calm space and achieve mind and body balance and deep relaxation which allows the body to begin to heal itself. At the end of the practice, there will be five minutes of quiet while everyone returns from their relaxed state.

Bring a yoga mat if you have one, and a blanket as lying still causes the body temperature to drop. If lying on the floor is difficult for you, you can take the class in a chair.

Book your space here.
