Soundbath with Michelle Shanti

Sunday May 24th
Doors open to public @ 1.45pm
Soundbath begins at 2pm
Event Duration 90 mins

About the Soundbath: Soundbaths are a wonderful modality in which participants are easily able to reach deeply relaxed and peaceful states. It is literally being ‘bathed in sound!’ Michelle easily guides participants into a restful physical state through a spoken body scan relaxation. Then, the sounds of Himalayan and Crystal Singing Bowls, Gongs, Handpan, Chimes, Soothing Vocals, Rainstick and Ocean drum, each take the listener deeper into peace, into that centred state that exists within each of us when we make the time and space to enter it.

The Soundbath finishes with a vigorous percussive section leading into a short period of silence to punctuate the sound. We will conclude with a chant which you may join in with, or simply listen to. Participants are then gently invited to make their way back to a seated position, ready to share their experiences or ask any questions about the instruments. Please bring some water to drink afterwards. Soundbaths are a relaxation experience which can also allow us to ‘shift our stuff’ on the different levels of being- mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Drinking plenty of water can assist the body to flush through anything which has come up to be moved on.

Soundbaths may not be suitable for the following:  Women in the first trimester of pregnancy, or any of the following medical conditions: seizures, epilepsy, clinical depression, bipolar or any serious mental health conditions. Please advise Michelle if you if you have any metal implants or plates in the body (other than tooth fillings).
