Sound Baths 

(Deep Relaxation with Sound)

Sound Bath for deep relaxation and healing. Enjoy waves of soothing sound from Gongs, Chimes, Tibetan Singing Bowls and Crystal Bowls. This relaxing "sound bath," may help with fatigue, mood and stress, allowing your mind and body to go towards a deep relaxation response, where your own healing mechanisms are given a chance to work their magic. Featuring healing Solfeggio Frequencies and Planetary tuned instruments. 

€25 (check Facebook page @comhcheol for current event listings) Book in advance, to avoid disappointment and text 0879667142 for a confirmation.

When packing for a sound bath :

• Think warmth and comfort. Comfortable clothes, warm socks, cosy blanket/s, hot water bottle?-Bring something padded to lie on. (Folded quilt, sleeping bag, camping mattress or a second yoga mat etc.)
• Consider bringing something to support under your knees. This passively releases the psoas muscles in the low back. (There are bolsters available. Please indicate by text if you want one provided. There is a limited supply so book early o879667I42).
• If you prefer lying in your side ( which is a wonderful way to avoid snoring ), consider bringing ANOTHER PILLOW to place between your knees.
• Arrive in good time so you are well settled before the start. Late arrivals can disturb the event.
• Remember DO NOT BRING YOUR PHONE into the sound bath!

Sound Healing After Care

Recent trauma or illness: If you have recently gone through an illness or a particularly traumatic experience, please check in with a professional health provider before receiving any alternative healing treatments.

Drink Water and Rest: Drink plenty of water before and after your sound bath session, and make sure to get plenty of rest afterwards. Hydration helps your body process and integrate the energetic shifts that may have occurred during the session. 

Sound has a profound effect on the water in your body and this cell-deep effect can potentially cause after effects like dizziness, nausea, pain or headaches. These symptoms should dissipate overnight and the newly aligned energy integrate.

Emotional Awareness: Sound healing can lead to cathartic emotional releases. The strong vibrations can unlock pent-up feelings, and provide an avenue for emotional self- awareness, expression and release. Be kind and patient with yourself in the days after your treatment. Allow emotions to pass through in an atmosphere of non-judgement and unconditional love.

Lasting Effects: The effects of a sound treatment typically last for about 12-24 hours meaning that the effects might linger throughout the night, influencing your dreams etc. (Write down whatever emerges!)

Write it down: A sound journey can aid a high level of unconscious processing. It often happens that this can help to bring about moments of clarity. Journaling can help this processing and clarity to emerge.

Grounding: Take time to get grounded after the treatment. (e.g. Get you bare feet on the floor or ground, drink water, play with some gentle movement etc.) Your energy field may well be more open than usual afterwards so be mindful of what you let into your field (e.g. TV or social media feeds). Consider turning off your phone and talking a walk in nature.

Avoid Alcohol or Drugs: Substances can interfere with the energetic shifts and emotional processing that may occur following the session. By maintaining a clear and sober state, you can better integrate the healing effects of sound and stay well connected to your inner processes.

Healing Crisis: If you've ever felt a little funky after a treatment, you may be having a healing crisis; a short worsening of symptoms just after you've begun treatment. The true test, is how you feel once you've emerged on the other side. If it was a healing crisis, your body will feel better.

Be patient and trust your body's innate ability to heal itself. While experiencing symptoms, be gentle with yourself. Simple advice: "Rest, fluids, trust." Get plenty of rest, drink water and find ways to support the body as it undergoes the uncomfortable beginning stage of healing, rather than suppressing or short-circuiting the process. If your symptoms persist past one to three days—reach out for advise. 

Reach out if needed: Sometimes sound can stir up deeper, more negative emotions e.g. sadness, grief, or the resurfacing of traumatic past memories.

All emotions are valid, negative or positive, and it is valuable to embrace these as part of your healing journey. Some of the emotions released could be deep blockages that have been buried for years. If you feel you need support regarding these emotional releases, please reach out to me and I will signpost a professional mental health provider for follow up guidance and support should this be needed.
