Monthly Community Sound Meditation - New Beginnings - Candlelit session -

  • Orpington Methodist Church BR6 9JH 19 Sevenoaks Road ORPINGTON United Kingdom (map)

Welcome 2024!

The New Year is always a time for refreshing, restarting and we often set new personal goals. The opportunity to start afresh is always filled with aspiration, excitement and good intention. I hope that you will continue your personal journey with kindness, gentleness, compassion, joy and ease to yourself always. If we go off track, we can always reroute and find our way back….. in the words of Heraclitus.

“The only constant in life is change ”

Heraclitus

I invite you to join me for our first sound meditation of the new year, coinciding with the time of the New Moon.

The singing bowls and sound instruments will meet you with the intention to soothe, calm, nourish and restore your whole being.

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 will be a soundscape where I immerse you in beautiful instrumental sounds that 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 ). You may also choose to bring a soft reclining chair if you prefer. Come with an open mind and open heart to receive the sounds of the Ocean drum, Tibetan singing bowls, quartz crystal bowls, gong and chimes.

Please note that these sessions are not suitable if you are in your first trimester of pregnancy or suffer epilepsy, clinical mental health conditions or have implants / metal plates in the body which may be affected by the vibration of the sounds. Seek advice from your doctor first.
