Cleansing methods vary, and it is crucial to select appropriate techniques based on the type of crystal you possess. Here, we provide you with an essential guide to maximize your crystal's potential.
Connecting with Your Crystals
When you first acquire a crystal, it is important to cleanse it thoroughly to remove any energies it may have absorbed along its journey. Whether you are a newbie or an experienced crystal enthusiast, each encounter with these precious gems offers excitement and a chance to expand your knowledge. Crystals work best if they know what you want them to do. So perhaps at the time of purchase you could set an intention for each one or each time you cleanse or wear them etc. They’re very smart and intuitive and will have your best interests at heart so even if you haven’t got a specific intention they will do their thing.
Exploring Crystal Applications
Discover the myriad of ways you can incorporate crystals into your daily life. From adorning your body with them for protection to using them as crystal singing bowls or even planting them within your plant pots, the possibilities are endless. Allow them to infuse their energies into your water, create mesmerising moon elixirs, or bathe alongside them for deep relaxation. Embrace their beauty as you decorate your home, infusing every corner with their positive vibrations.
Renewing Your Crystals' Energies
To maintain the vitality of your crystals, regular cleansing rituals are essential. Consider these effective methods to cleanse your crystals and revitalise their energies:
1. Moon glow: Allow the light of the moon to shine upon your crystals & charge them
2. Water: Immerse your crystals in cleansing water
3. Smudging: Utilise the sacred smoke of sage or other cleansing herbs to purify your crystals. Ignite a sage stick and pass your crystals through the aromatic smoke, setting the intention to release any unwanted energies. Check out our sage smudge stick bundles here.
4: Continual cleansing with other stones: Pair your crystals with other cleansing crystals such as Carnelian and Selenite to amplify the cleansing process.
5. Salt: Nest them in a bed of salt to cleanse away stagnant energies.
6. Mother natures embrace: Bury your crystals within the earth & leave over night
7. Nature's Flow: Rinse your crystals in the flow of a river, the sea, or any other natural water source.
8. Father sun’s kiss: Leave your crystals in the sun to be cleansed & refreshed

what is yoga nidra
Coined Yogic Sleep, this motionless Yoga Practise can help with anxiety, stress & depression.
Yoga Nidra: The Gateway to Deep Relaxation and Restoration
Yoga Nidra, often referred to as "yogic sleep," is a transformative practice that takes one on a journey toward profound relaxation and inner awareness. Originating from ancient yogic traditions, Yoga Nidra has gained immense popularity in recent years as a powerful tool for stress reduction, emotional healing, and personal growth.
Derived from the Sanskrit words "yoga" meaning union and "nidra" meaning sleep, Yoga Nidra bridges the gap between wakefulness and sleep. It is a state where the body is completely relaxed, yet the mind remains conscious and receptive. Although it imitates sleep, the practitioner is encouraged to remain awake and aware throughout the practice, allowing for a deep exploration of the inner landscape. Often confused for a movement type of asana yoga practise, during Yoga Nidra the receiver is to lay motionless throughout the practise.
The purpose of Yoga Nidra is not to fall asleep, but to achieve a state of conscious relaxation that enables physical, mental, and emotional rejuvenation. It is a systematic approach that moves beyond the usual state of relaxation experienced in savasana (the resting corpse pose at the end of a yoga class), guiding practitioners to unwind deeply and tap into the limitless potential of their subconscious mind.
What happens during Yoga Nidra?
During a typical Yoga Nidra session, a facilitator or teacher skillfully guides participants through various stages.
The practice often begins with settling, getting comfortable in a laying position & prepared for the practise ahead
Your attention is brought to your senses such as feeling the temperature of your skin & the surface you are laying on
A guided a body scan, where attention is brought to different parts of the body, consciously releasing tension and promoting a sense of deep ease.
Following this, guided visualisations, breath awareness, and gentle movement of awareness through different sensations and emotions are employed to cultivate a state of heightened awareness.
The primary intention of Yoga Nidra is to elicit the relaxation response, which allows the body to activate its intrinsic healing abilities. As the mind enters a deeply relaxed state, brainwave patterns shift from the beta state (normal waking consciousness) to the alpha and theta states associated with meditation and relaxation. This encourages the release of stress, recharges the nervous system, and promotes overall well-being.
Regular practice of Yoga Nidra offers numerous benefits.
It reduces anxiety, depression, and insomnia by calming the overactive mind and balancing emotional states.
It improves concentration, creativity, and memory as the subconscious mind is accessed and positive suggestions are effortlessly absorbed.
Additionally, it strengthens the immune system, enhances self-awareness, and nurtures a deep sense of inner peace.
One hour of Yoga Nidra is supposed to be the equivalent of 4 hours sleep for the body.
Yoga Nidra is accessible to practitioners of all ages and abilities. It requires no prior experience, physical agility, or flexibility. Whether practiced for twenty minutes or an hour, it serves as a powerful tool for self-discovery, stress reduction, and personal transformation.
In a fast-paced world filled with constant hustle and bustle, Yoga Nidra offers a sanctuary for deep relaxation and restoration. By surrendering to the guided journey within, one can experience the profound benefits of this ancient practice, awakening a sense of wholeness, peace, and harmony within oneself.

The Harmony of Entrainment: Sound Healing and Meditation
Sound Healing has been nicknamed the ‘lazy man’s meditation’ because through a phenomenon called Entrainment we can change brainwave states from busy active Beta & Alpha to relaxed Theta & Delta the space where our body can rest, heal, repair & reach flow state.
If you have tried meditation before but struggled with a busy overactive mind then you are not alone! In this blog you’ll learn that you can swap meditation for sound healing or use them together to achieve the same results.
Effortless meditation
Sound Healing has been nicknamed the ‘lazy man’s meditation’ by he world reknown sound healer Tim Wheater (one of the leading sound healers in the western world) because through a phenomenon called Entrainment we can change brainwave states.
If you have tried meditation before but struggled with a busy overactive mind then you are not alone! In this blog you’ll learn that you can swap meditation for sound healing or use them together to achieve the same results.
Introduction
In a busy world filled with constant stimulation, finding moments of inner peace is a precious luxury. Fortunately, both sound healing and meditation offer pathways to tranquility and wellness. These practices harness the power of entrainment, a phenomenon that synchronizes brainwaves and promotes deep relaxation. In this article, we will explore the fascinating world of entrainment and delve into how sound healing and meditation are intertwined in their ability to enhance our well-being.
Understanding Entrainment
Entrainment is the process by which one rhythmic system influences another, causing them to synchronize and harmonize. It can be observed in nature, where the rhythmic sounds of ocean waves or chirping birds can induce a sense of calm within us. Entrainment also occurs within our own brains, as neural oscillations align with external rhythms, bringing about a state of resonance and balance.
During a sound healing the brain wave states change from busy day-to-day beta & alpha into slower states like (Theta & Delta) which are the same brainwave states that are achieved when you are in dreaming, deep healing and meditation. These brainwave states reduce stress hormones the body and repair itself from injury & illness.

Sound Healing: Harmonising with Vibrations
The practice of sound healing utilizes the power of specific frequencies and vibrations to restore harmony in our bodies and minds. Through the use of various instruments like singing bowls, gongs, and tuning forks, sound healers generate resonant tones that penetrate deep into our being, shifting our brainwaves into a state of coherence.
Much like meditation, sound healing induces a relaxed mental state, allowing our minds to let go of stress and enter a state of deep awareness. As we surrender to the vibrations surrounding us, our scattered thoughts become still, and our bodies begin to unwind. With each resonating sound, we feel our entire being attuning to a natural rhythm, promoting a sense of balance and peace.
Meditation: The Symphony of Mindfulness
Meditation, a practice that dates back thousands of years, serves as a powerful tool for self-discovery and stress reduction. By focusing our attention and quieting our minds, we enter a state of mindfulness, creating space for inner exploration and tranquility.
Just as sound healing embraces the power of vibrations, meditation relies on the rhythmic flow of our breath or a repeated mantra to anchor our wandering thoughts. While our brainwaves initially fluctuate, as we relax and deepen our meditation, they begin to align with a slower, calmer rhythm, inducing a meditative state.
The Intersection of Sound Healing and Meditation
Sound healing and meditation share a common goal: to achieve a state of heightened awareness and inner calm. Both practices utilise entrainment to synchronize our brainwaves and promote a sense of equilibrium. As we immerse ourselves in healing soundscapes or meditative states, the vibrations and rhythmic patterns guide our minds into a state of resonance, encouraging deep relaxation and focus.
Moreover, sound healing and meditation are complementary practices. Prior to meditation, sound healing sessions can serve as a gateway to stillness, preparing the mind for deeper introspection and facilitating a more profound meditation experience. Conversely, meditation nurtures receptivity, allowing us to fully absorb the healing vibrations present during a sound healing session.
Embracing Serenity in a Harmonious World
In the realm of entrainment, sound healing and meditation stand as valuable tools for finding serenity in an often chaotic world. By harnessing the power of harmonising vibrations and rhythmic patterns, both practices help release tension, foster inner awareness, and promote overall well-being.
As you explore the realm of sound healing and meditation, remember to approach these practices with an open heart and an open mind. Allow yourself to experience the transformative power of entrainment, and discover the profound harmony that awaits within you.

The Incredible Power of Harnessing the Energy of the Full Moon to Manifest
Learn how to harness the energy of the full moon to manifest your desires
The Incredible Power of Harnessing the Energy of the Full Moon to Manifest
Hello, fellow seekers of self-improvement and spiritual growth! Today, we embark on a fascinating journey into the depths of lunar energy and its potential for manifestation. The full moon, with its mesmerising beauty and undeniable influence on our planet, has long been associated with mysterious powers and profound spiritual significance. In this blog post, we will explore how harnessing the energy of the full moon can help us manifest our dreams and desires.
Understanding the Full Moon's Energy
Before we dive into the mystical workings of lunar manifestation, it's essential to understand the energy behind the full moon. The full moon is a time of peak illumination, symbolizing completeness and clarity. It is a potent period when the moon aligns directly opposite the sun, creating a sense of harmony and balance in the universe.
As the moon reaches its fullest potential, its energy intensifies, and so does ours. Our emotions may amplify, and our desires become clearer. This heightened energetic state opens up a window of opportunity for us to manifest our deepest intentions and aspirations. You may have heard that the full moon is a good time to charge your crystals, now you know why!
Preparing for Manifestation
To maximize the potential of the full moon energy, preparation is key. Here are a few steps to help you align with the lunar energy and manifest your desires effectively:
1. Setting Intentions: Take some time before the full moon to reflect on what you truly desire. Write down your intentions with clarity and conviction. Be specific about what you want to manifest and how it will positively impact your life. Be as concise as you ca, limit the fluff to get to your desires faster!
2. Cleansing Ritual: Clearing negative energy is essential to create space for manifestations. Consider performing a cleansing ritual, such as smudging with sage or burning incense. Alternatively, you can take a purifying bath or practice meditation to cleanse your mind, body, and spirit.
3. Preparing Sacred Space: Create a designated space where you can connect with the moon's energy and perform your manifestation rituals. Decorate it with lunar symbols, crystals, flowers, candles (that represent the light), water (that reflects the moons influence on the tide) and elements representing your intentions like a mood board of journal. This sacred space can act as a portal for your manifestations.
4. Moon Gazing: As the full moon illuminates the night sky, take the opportunity to connect with its energy. Spend a few moments in quiet contemplation, gazing at the moon and absorbing its radiant light. Visualise your intentions merging with the moon's energy, amplifying their power.
5. Surround yourself in sound: playing a moon playlist of music to help you amplify and manifest will add positive energy to the ritual. Ensure you chose music that is created with love & positivity. Sound Healing with crystal singing bowls can help to amplify your intentions.
When to use to full moon to manifest
The day & date of the full moon will change every month so downloaded a free moon chart will help you prepare for the best manifesting days. The energy of the full moon is still strong 3 days either side so don’t worry if you aren’t able to do a ceremony on the actual day.
Full Moon Manifestation Ritual
Now that you are prepared to harness the full moon's energy let's explore a simple and effective manifestation ritual to help bring your desires to fruition:
1. Write a Manifestation Letter - On the night of the full moon, take a piece of paper and write a heartfelt letter to the universe, expressing your deepest desires and intentions. Be specific and use positive affirmations. Once you have finished, read the letter out loud, infusing each word with intention and belief. Once you have finished your ceremony you can keep the letter, bury it or safely burn it - what ever you feel most called to do.
2. Charge Your Crystals - Crystals are renowned for their ability to amplify and hold energy. Before the full moon, place your chosen crystals in your sacred space or outdoors where they can bask in the moonlight. This will supercharge the crystals with lunar energy, supporting your manifestation process.
3. Moonlight Meditation - Find a comfortable spot in your sacred space, and with your charged crystals nearby, close your eyes and go into a deep meditation. Visualise your intentions manifesting as clearly as possible. Feel the emotion and excitement as if your desires have already been fulfilled. Hold this vision for as long as you like, allowing the moon's energy to fuel your manifestation.
4. Gratitude Ceremony - Before concluding your manifestation ritual, express gratitude for the abundance that is already present in your life. Thank the universe for the opportunity to manifest your desires and trust in its divine timing. Feel immense gratitude filling your heart, knowing that the full moon's energy has aligned with your intentions.
Trusting the Process
Remember, manifesting is a process that requires patience and trust. After performing your full moon manifestation ritual, keep an open mind and remain receptive to the universe's signs and guidance. Opportunities will arise, synchronicities will occur, and the path to your desires will unfold before you.
Harnessing the energy of the full moon to manifest is a beautiful and empowering practice that connects us to the rhythms of nature and aligns us with our deepest desires. So, the next time the full moon graces the sky, embrace its energy, set your intentions, and watch as the universe conspires to bring your dreams into reality.
Happy manifesting!

Unlocking the healing power of sound healing - How to get the most of your session
Learn how to get the most out of your sound healing & continue to reap the benefits long after it has ended.
In this blog, we will delve into the captivating world of sound healing and uncover the secrets to maximizing its incredible therapeutic potential. Whether you are new to this ancient practice or have already experienced its wonders, this guide will equip you with the knowledge and techniques to get the most from the experience & help you enjoy the benefits long after it has finished.
Attending a sound healing can be a magic experience for many, but for those who suffer with anxiety going into a new environment can add to those anxieties & concerns.
Before your sound healing experience
Commit to the session
Switch off from work & stressful things before your session.
Eat a light meal
The heavier the meal the more likely you are to fall asleep. That’s ok is that is what you want, the sound healing will still work even if you are asleep. But to make the most of the session, follow along and be aware of the experience a light meal is best.
No drugs or alcohol
Sound Healing is a way to go inward & explore yourself & allow deep healing & transformation. Drugs & alcohol can interfere with this process. Many people describe sound healing experiences to be quite trippy and psychedelic anyway so adding substances to this can increase this feeling and be unsettling for both the user and other participants. Prescription drugs are the exception.
Dress for comfort & warmth
Your body temperature will drop once you are lying down. It is best if you dress in layers and if it isn’t provided in the session have something to cover you over like a blanket.
Have an intention for the session
Be that deep rest, to enjoy the experience or to gain clarity. Having an intention will help sculpt the experience & if the session includes crystal singing bowls the crystals help with manifesting amplification.
During the sound healing
Try not to compare your experience
Some people may fall asleep instantly or share their wonderful relaxing experience. You always get what you need from a sound healing, even if that means a busy monkey mind throughout. Try to approach the session with an open heart & mind. Setting an intention for the session can be a great way to help shape the experience but also know that if you want & expect to fall asleep & don’t, that it is ok, the sound vibrations are still working on you in so many other ways.
Accept all sounds as part of the sound scape
That could be someone snoring or a belly grumbling as they move into ‘rest & digest’ the calm state of the nervous system. Or a dog may be barking in the background. All sounds are exactly where they are supposed to be and if your mind if wandering during the session, use these sounds & noises to anchor you back into the moment. Bring your attention back to your breathing, back to your intention & back to the sounds.
After the sound healing
The effects can continue to work for 24-48 hours after the session
Which means you could feel a little ‘floaty’, lighter, more relaxed afterwards. Often clients will message me the next dy to tell me about the wonderful sleep they have had or the wild dreams. Some may feel more sensitive afterwards so go easy on yourself, take the rest of the day/evening to engage in peaceful relaxing activities and remember that the rest of the world hasn’t had a sound healing so give yourself space from triggering situations & places.
Stay off technology
This is helpful both before, during & after a sound healing. Technology is constantly sending signals that unbalance our nervous system and make our body feel it is in a stressed state, this in turn affects our sleep, mood, digestion & overall wellbeing.
Try grounding techniques
Often some of the more ethereal sounds like crystal singing bowls & chimes can take the energy upwards & almost out of our bodies. This can leave a person feeling floaty & ungrounded. A way to solve this problem is to practise grounding techniques such as:
Walking barefoot in nature
Giving the feet a massage
Taking some deep breaths
Eating whole some natural foods
Having a bath or shower
Going to sleep
Integrate your experience
Some things may not make sense or you may have downloads & creative ideas. A great way for you to gain a deeper understanding, bring your learnings into your everyday life and to benefit from these experiences are to journal, share & discuss and reflect. No sound healings are the same but if you want to explore your experience further, try to attend another sound healing experience soon after and set your intention to delve deeper and learn more.
Expand your practises
Wellbeing isn’t linear and it is about finding the practises that work well for you. Sound Healing compliments:
Breathwork
Meditation
Yoga Nidra
Tai chi
Qi Gong
Yoga

Boost Your Wellbeing whilst at work: Simple Desk Activities to Recharge and Rejuvenate!
In today's fast-paced lifestyle, incorporating regular well-being practices like yoga or meditation to support our physical and mental well-being can be challenging. Ironically, the busier we become, the more essential it is to establish a strong well-being routine. Neglecting to do so can adversely affect both our personal and professional lives.
The demand for assistance in improving mental, emotional, and physical health has significantly increased, prompting forward-thinking companies to introduce regular well-being activities for their employees.
Many individuals within the workplace commonly experience stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and feelings of being tired and wired, which hampers their ability to concentrate.
According to Champion Health's 2022 survey, a staggering 76% of individuals employed in corporate environments reported experiencing moderate to high levels of stress. If you can relate to these experiences, please know that you are not alone.
The Impact of Stress on Our Daily Lives
In order to navigate through each day, our brain handles essential life functions such as breathing, temperature regulation, and blood circulation. Simultaneously, it must filter out stressors like loud noises, blue light emitted by electronic devices, environmental pollutants, and everyday pressures.
Despite our modern context, our ancient body still operates under a programming that originated from a time when being alert to severe threats was crucial. Consequently, it reacts and panics in response to stimuli such as sirens, mistakenly perceiving them as genuine attacks, just as it would if a saber-toothed tiger suddenly lunged at us. Within a fraction of a second, our sympathetic nervous system, responsible for our safety, kicks into action.
It releases cortisol, a stress hormone, into our bodies, and determines whether we should fight, flee, or freeze in response to the perceived threat.
Experiencing occasional stress is generally manageable. However, if we are constantly exposed to stressors and lack a regular well-being practice to regulate our nervous system, it can lead to long-term imbalance or illness in the body. This can manifest in various issues such as anxiety, depression, diminished libido and fertility, sleep disturbances, weight gain, hormonal imbalances, and more. Therefore, it is crucial that we take a proactive approach to prioritize our well-being.
Within a workplace setting, if members of our team are stressed and unable to effectively manage their stress, they are likely to be unresponsive and less productive. Additionally, they may experience a higher likelihood of taking sick leave.
It is understandable that the demands of daily life often place well-being activities low on our priority list. When we are busy, the concept of creating space to do "nothing" may seem peculiar. However, it is important to recognize that by doing less, we actually gain more. More energy, which provides a sense of having more time, increased creativity, inspiration, clarity, and patience. In the long run, investing in our well-being is truly worthwhile.
As the saying goes,
"Make time to go for a walk in nature every day, unless you are busy. If you're busy, make sure to dedicate one hour for it."

Effective Workplace Strategies for Enhancing Team Well-being: Small Changes with Big Impact
Top 10 things you can start doing today to support your teams wellbeing
In today's fast-paced and demanding work environments, prioritising employee well-being is paramount to ensure a thriving and motivated workforce. While major overhauls may seem overwhelming, implementing small changes can have a significant positive impact on the overall well-being of your team. This blog will explore effective workplace strategies that can be easily incorporated to enhance team well-being, fostering a healthier and more productive work environment.
1 - Embrace Fresh Air in the Mornings
Boost vitality and alertness by opening windows to allow invigorating fresh air to permeate the workspace. Increased oxygen levels can enhance mental and physical well-being.
2 - Encourage Stand-Up Breaks
Normalize the practice of taking short breaks to stand up and stretch. By promoting these breaks, individuals benefit both physically and mentally, while reducing time spent idling near the coffee machine or photocopier.
3 - Incorporate Non-Allergenic Plants
Enhance the aesthetics and air quality of the workplace by selecting low-allergen plants. These not only beautify the environment but also cleanse the air, infusing it with oxygen.
4 - Harness the Benefits of Salt Lamps
Consider incorporating salt lamps, as they have been praised for their ability to draw out negative electric energy from the surroundings. Moreover, they are believed to support lung health.
5 - Mitigate Electromagnetic Frequencies
Given the omnipresence of technology in our lives, employ electromagnetic frequency blockers to provide reprieve from harmful blue light emissions, radiations, and vibrations emitted by digital devices. These measures help alleviate the stress imposed on the body.
6 - Mood-Enhancing Music
While not everyone may work effectively with music playing constantly, consider playing soothing tunes during specific times, such as lunch breaks or at the end of the day, to gently signal the passage of time. For instance, when implementing standing breaks, a soft song such as some sound healing could be played every hour as a reminder to take a break.
7 - Foster Group Activities for Wellness
Introduce activities like sound healing sessions, which can contribute to a sense of well-being and cohesion among team members.
8 - Engage in Well-being Challenges
Encourage participation in well-being challenges, such as walking to and from work, substituting coffee with non-caffeinated alternatives, quitting smoking, or adopting healthy habits. These challenges promote personal growth and a healthier lifestyle.
9 - Organise Group Exercises
Arrange group exercises like sponsored swims, fun runs or bike rides such as the London to Brighton. These activities foster team spirit while promoting physical fitness and boosting team morale.
10 - Provide Health Incentives
Motivate healthy choices by offering incentives, such as providing nutritious lunches or rewards for engaging in wellness-related behaviors. This cultivates a supportive environment for making positive health decisions.
By implementing these 10 essential strategies your workplace can create a formal and motivating environment where team wellbeing is prioritised and thrives, resulting in increased productivity & performance, higher job satisfaction, and decreased turnover rates.

a Deeper connection and the science behind sound healing.
Sound healing is an ancient healing modality that has its origins all around the globe including in Egypt, India & China. It is a well-being practice that goes by many names including but not limited to sound medicine, sound meditation, sound journeys, sound baths, sound bath meditation and sound therapy.
“Everything in Life is Vibration” – Albert Einstein
How does sound healing work?
There are 3 ways Sound Healing can effect us:
Vibration
Although there are many different types of sound healing, fundamentally, it works using specially tuned instruments such as gongs, crystal singing bowls and tuning forks. They are played by a trained Sound Healer and those instruments vibrate at different frequencies (the rate per second of a vibration constituting a wave) which match frequencies in the body.
According to quantum physics, everything is energy and energy is vibration, therefore, each cell in the human body has a unique vibration & frequency. From time to time things can affect these frequencies such as poor diet, lack of sleep, stress & illness and the body becomes out of harmony. When that happens it can manifest as dis-ease and we can get sick or feel stuck in life.
Vibration in quantum physics means that everything is energy. We are beings that vibrate at certain frequencies. ~Medium.com
The image below shows brain activity in waves depending on the state we are in. There is more movement when we are awake, thinking and busy than when we are resting or during meditation. Sound Healing helps the brain move into the less active states Alpha and Theta without great effort from the participant.
Entrainment
Through a rhythmic phenomenon called entrainment wherein, a temporary synchronisation occurs between two systems in motion. The instruments which are tuned to different body parts, chakras and emotions are played & remind 100% of the cells in the body of their correct frequency. In time the cells respond by moving back into their correct vibrational speed.
Cymatics
Another way in which sound healing works is through cymatics. If you imagine a large speaker playing music, if the music is loud enough you can see the speakers moving as the music plays. Imagine you put something on top of the speaker for example some tissue paper, as the music plays the tissue will move and jump about in the air. As the music plays and the speaker vibrates the air in front of the speaker moves. This is happening inside your body on a sonic level. When you attend a Sound Healing session the vibrations from the instruments travel through the air to your body where it is received by your body via the receptors on your skin.
Hanging gong upside-down with water on its surface. As the front of the gong is stroked with the mallet the water creates beautiful ripples, waves and patterns. This is an example of cymatics and how sound vibrations effect our body.
What instruments are in a sound healing session
Depending on the practitioner you’ll likely see a variety of instruments from deep, powerful, earthly gongs and Tibetan bowls to more ethereal-sounding crystal singing bowls and chimes. Your practitioner will take you on a sound journey with energetic highs and lows to help shift a variety of energies. Usually sound healing isn’t rhythmic and instruments are intuitively played.

Who is sound healing for?
Everyone of any age, gender, race, religion or class.
You don’t have to feel you have an ‘issue’ such as anxiety, insomnia or stress to attend, although sound healing will certainly help with these too. It can be used as a self-care practice, something to energise you and as an enjoyable experience.
In this modern world, we are constantly having to filter out stressful sounds including sirens, transport, alarms etc and as our time on digital devices increases and our time outside in nature decreases Sound healing is a nice peaceful break away from busy day-to-day life and an opportunity to unwind and relax.
There are some contraindications for sound healing such as when you're in the first and third trimester of pregnancy. It is best to speak with the sound therapist practitioner before you book your first session if you are concerned.
What do I have to do?
Nothing! Most people prefer to lie down somewhere comfortable so that they can let go of physical tension. However, you can also sit up in a supported position. It is very safe and non-invasive. The receiver needs to do nothing more than approach with an open mind. Many people fall asleep during the session.
What can I expect from a sound healing session?
Everyone's experience will be different, however, there are often common things people experience including feeling really relaxed and well rested, feeling as though time slows down or goes very quickly, some people have visions and great ideas, others see beautiful sacred geometric shapes or colours. Whatever your experience during the session - it is likely to change every time as no 2 sound healing sessions are ever the same - you can rest assured that if you drift off to sleep or your mind wanders elsewhere the magic and science of sound healing will still work. You don’t have to listen or work hard to pay attention as the vibrations travel through your body using cymatics rather than just through your ears.
After a sound healing
I advise attendees to go slow after class. Take a few minutes to ground yourself - that could be with a cup of tea, taking some gentle stretches or walking around barefoot. Depending on the time of day and intention of the healing e.g. for more rest or for more creativity you may feel revitalised ready to go about your day or you may feel ready for bed. The vibrations will still be working for 24 to 48 hours after the session.

The fourth trimester - Nurturing and Supporting yourself through the first few months of Motherhood.
The fourth trimester, what is it and how can you support yourself through this time.
Now, we have all heard of the first, second and third trimesters during pregnancy, each trimester represents a different stage or phase of pregnancy. Throughout these (approximately) nine months, your body and mind go through a huge change as your baby grows and develops. The fourth trimester is an extension of the three trimesters and is a term used for the first few months of a baby’s life, and perhaps more importantly, the first few months of your motherhood journey with your baby. just as your baby is growing, developing, learning, changing and adapting to his/ her new life outside the womb, you too are growing, developing, learning, changing and adapting to new life as a mum. Your body and mind are once again going through a huge change and during this critical time it’s important to listen to your body and give yourself the rest it needs and truly deserves.
As mothers, we naturally want to ‘do’. We have a continuous list as long as our arms, we have daily chores, and we have a house to run and a family to look after. But during this fourth trimester, it is vital for our own mental health and wellbeing (and the health and well-being of our family) that we take care of ourselves and just ‘be’. Here are my six top tips to supporting yourself during the fourth trimester:
Rest
Whether you’ve had a natural birth or c section, a traumatic birth or an elated birth, your body is most likely exhausted, sore and uncomfortable. Letting your body rest and recharge is helping you to heal those scars and wounds, physically and mentally.
Pelvic floor
During pregnancy, your internal body endures a lot of weight. The muscles of your pelvic floor need exercising to ensure good health following childbirth. Booking an appointment with a women’s health physio is advised, but during the early days, at home exercises are a great way to looking after your needs.
Nutrition
Healthy nutrition helps to fuel us with energy and releases those feel good hormones. Nutrition is a simple way to support you during those sleepless nights and demanding days. Of course, it’s also important not to deprive yourself of your body’s cravings, so treating yourself every now and then with your favourite snack will also give you a little ‘pick me up’.
Water
Staying hydrated is important to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Water is good for our skin, our gut and our overall health. If you are a breastfeeding mother, you will find your body craves water. Having a glass of water close by to you during those feeds will help to keep you hydrated and looked after.
Ask for support
Please don’t be too shy or embarrassed to ask for support. Support could be from a family member, a friend or even a neighbour. And it could be as simple as asking someone to hold your baby whilst you take a shower, by asking for external support, you are supporting yourself.
Baby massage
The baby massage classes I offer can be started within the fourth trimester time frame from as early as 4 weeks old. Massage helps you and your baby to connect and bond in a nurturing and supportive environment with like-minded mums and it gives you the tools to support you and your baby through the early stages of his or her development. You can learn with me online or in person.
It is so important to support yourself during those early days of motherhood. Don’t forget to physically look after yourself, stay hydrated and well nourished, ask for help when you need it and start baby massage when you can with your baby. By supporting yourself, you are supporting your baby and your whole family.
Crystals possess unique energies that can assist in transforming and transmuting other energies. However, they require regular cleansing, especially if they have been exposed to negative energies from individuals or have supported you during a transitional period. Cleansing methods vary, and it is crucial to select appropriate techniques based on the type of crystal you possess.
