Beautiful, relaxing sound bath by candlelight

Come join us for a serene evening at The Didsbury Parsonage Trust for a sound bath experience like no other. Let the soothing sounds wash over you as you relax in the warm glow of candlelight. This event is the perfect opportunity to unwind, de-stress, and rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul. Don't miss out on this unique and tranquil experience!

What is a Sound Bath?
A Sound Bath is a deeply immersive, full-body experience where sound waves produced by instruments like gongs, singing bowls, and chimes wash over you. The vibrations and harmonics of these ancient instruments are thought to have healing qualities that help you achieve a meditative state, restore balance, and calm your mind.

How It Works:
During the session, you’ll lie down comfortably on a mat while being enveloped by the sounds and vibrations of the instruments. The sound waves can help shift brain waves to deeper states of relaxation, like Theta, which promotes healing, creativity, and mental clarity. As the sounds resonate through the body, tension melts away, leaving you feeling refreshed and renewed.

What to Expect:

Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed into a calming space. We'll start with some light breathwork and a brief introduction, followed by an immersive sound bath of crystal quartz singing bowls. We’ll finish with a grounding meditation to help you integrate the experience before you leave.

Benefits of Sound Bath Therapy:

• Deep Relaxation: Release the accumulated stress of the week.
• Improved Sleep: Many participants report better sleep after a session.
• Reduced Anxiety: Experience a calming effect that helps with anxiety and overthinking.
• Enhanced Mental Clarity: Clear the mental fog and bring a sense of grounding.
• Energetic Rebalancing: Sound waves help align your energy and chakra points, promoting well-being.
• Mind-Body Connection: This ancient practice strengthens the link between mind and body for holistic healing.
