SUMMARY:January Meeting - Sound Bath

This meeting will only be open to WINK members and a list of named visitors. These visitors have been contacted directly either by email or Facebook messenger. \nWe apologise for any disappointment caused for those not able to attend.

It is recommended you also bring an eye mask\, and some water in case you need a drink. \nTo find out more about what a sound bath is\, please see below some information from Rachel’s website: \n\nSound healing is a powerful therapeutic practice that uses sound vibrations to promote physical\, emotional\, and spiritual well-being. Through techniques like singing bowls\, tuning forks\, and guided meditations\, sound healing helps reduce stress\, alleviate pain\, and enhance mental clarity. By harmonizing the body’s energy\, it fosters deep relaxation\, improved sleep\, and emotional balance.  \nEmbrace sound healing to rejuvenate your mind and body\, and experience a profound sense of peace and vitality. Discover the transformative benefits and elevate your overall wellness with the soothing power of sound. \n​Sound healing can be done as a standalone session\, combined with another modality or you can attend a sound bath event. For details of my next soundbath event\, please refer to my events and workshops page. \n\nVisitors welcome\, £5 entry\, cash only\, includes tea/coffee\, raffle ticket\, and our activities for the evening.
