What does the session include?
The session begins by finding a comfortable rest position, maybe this is laid down, or seated propped up against the wall, with a short, guided voice meditation. After which the sound journey will begin, where you will be guided by a series of instruments, including the Tibetan Singing Bowls.
The sound vibrations travel deep within the body, with the aim to hold and nourish you in the way your body wants to receive. You will be softly guided out of the scripted meditation by the gentle voice of Emily.
At the end of the session, there will be time to discuss your individual experiences with the group if you wish. Tea will be available to allow integration and reflection of the session before we close.
Sound journeys can integrate over the hours and days following the session; rest well, stay hydrated and take time to notice sensations or emotions surfacing from within the body.
