Monthly Community Sound Meditation - Mindful Medicine

  • Orpington Methodist Church 19 Sevenoaks Road ORPINGTON United Kingdom (map)

You are invited to join me for our live community sound bath meditation to attune and immerse in the qualities of presence, stillness and peace. Thich Nhat Hanh referred to the Medicine of Mindfulness. We can connect to this by stopping and taking a conscious breath, giving complete attention to our in breath and out breath uniting body and mind. When we do this, we can truly come home to ourselves. We feel our body more fully. Only when mind is with body can we become truly alive, recognising tension, pain, stress. Only when we are fully aware can we begin to heal.

Sound meditations are open to everyone. All you need to do is relax and be open to receive. Let go of all expectation and take on shoshin, the beginners mind.

Our session is a soundscape where I will immerse you in beautiful instrumental sounds which can bring a nurturing energy to our whole being. These Sound meditations are a great way to unplug from the fast activities and stresses that can often be the reality of life and open ourselves to a slower pace. Sound frequencies can help slow down the brainwaves by shifting from the more active (beta) state to a more relaxed (delta) or deep meditation or dreamlike (theta) state. When the mind is relaxed, the body softens and it is here that we can begin to experience subtle shifts in energy which may cultivate a pathway on a journey towards self healing.

I will begin the session with a guided meditation to relax the body calm the mind preparing you to receive the sounds and vibrations from instruments played.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Bring a yoga mat or other soft mat to lie on plus a pillow, blanket and eye mask ( or scarf to cover the eyes ). Come with an open mind and open heart to receive the sounds of the Ocean drum, Tibetan singing bowls, quartz crystal bowls, gongs and chimes.

Please note that these sessions are not suitable if you are in your first trimester of pregnancy or suffer epilepsy.
