Year of the Wood Dragon…a full moon sound bath

The 10th of February begins the Chinese New Year of the Wood Dragon.

In Chinese culture the Dragon is a symbol of good luck, strength, power and change. The dragon is unique because it is the only mythical creature of all the animals in the Chinese zodiac.

Wood is the element of the Spring season. A rising yang energy representing new beginnings, stability, root, strong foundations. Wood represents possibility and potential. Balanced wood energy is rooted, firm and steady. From this steadiness, growth is clear with purpose and direction.

The Dragon is also represented in Chinese astronomy, where each section of the sky is assigned to a mythological creature, collectively known as the Four Symbols. These creatures are the Azure Dragon of the East, the White Tiger of the West, the Black Tortoise of the North, and the Vermillion Bird of the South.

Our Sound meditation this month falls on the first full moon of the Lunar New Year. The intention of this session will be to clear and let go of what holds us back creating space to sow seeds of positive transformation.

I invite you to join me for our first Dragon full moon sound meditation

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.
