FULL EVENT DETAILS:
What to expect:
Melisa Karasu is a certified sound therapist who will be guiding you on a deeply therapeutic sonic journey. All that is required of you is that you lie down & be cocooned in this nourishing & multi-sensory experience, which includes a welcoming herbal tea infusion on arrival, grounding meditation, immersive sound bath with various instruments & tools and an individual oracle card pull, all in a safe & nurturing space.
What is a sound bath?
A sound bath is a submersion in sound, overtones & the use of therapeutic instruments. Relax & unwind as you are guided on a vibrational journey, immersed in the healing frequencies of Himalayan Singing Bowls, Quartz Crystal Bowls, tuning forks, drums, rattles & chimes, that will enable you to slow down & truly receive in mind, body & spirit.
Sound has been used as a healing medium in various cultures since the ancient times, with the common intention to create flow & release resistance. The sounds from these tools & instruments produce powerful tones that resonate & vibrate through every cell of the body, activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which is our bodies’ natural rest & digest state. The frequencies slow down the brainwaves, taking you to a dreamlike & meditative state, to a place of stillness: simply being. Sound baths are an ideal alternative for those who struggle with a traditional meditation structure.
Sound baths can stimulate the body’s natural healing responses. Benefits include: deep relaxation, cell rejuvenation, regulation of the nervous system, energetic shifts & release, balance & alignment, stress & anxiety relief, inner peace, increased energy flow, improved sleep & mood, deeper level of clarity and self-awareness & a boosted immune system.
The sessions are calming yet powerful, with a unique impact on each individual. Often people may experience physical sensations in the body as stagnant energies, blocked emotions & stuck thoughts are released, restoring the body to natural alignment and vibrant flow.
The therapeutic benefits of sound are accessible to anyone. However, there are certain conditions & circumstances that sound therapy is unsuitable for, as outlined below:
A sound bath is not recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy due to the delicate nature of this period
Conditions such as Epilepsy (or history of seizures) and Ménière disease are sound sensitive & therefore may be triggered by sound and vibration
Metal implants, pins & screws may be affected by the vibrations; and electronic devices e.g. pacemaker or hearing aid may also be affected
A sound bath can induce an altered state of consciousness, which requires a level of mental stability in order to ensure safety. Therefore anyone with severe psychiatric symptoms e.g. suicidal, psychosis, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or paranoia are not recommended to partake in a sound bath
A sound bath may not be suitable for those with severe heart conditions, high or abnormal blood pressure, or a history of aneurisms
A sound bath may not be suitable if you are on heavy medication or have had recent surgery
If you are experiencing any of the above conditions and you would still like a session, please consult your GP or healthcare provider first and contact Melisa at hello@melisakarasu.com, as she may be able to offer you an adapted session.
