FAQs
- What can sound healing do for me?
Sound healing is nothing new, although it is rapidly growing in popularity in the western world, using vibrational instruments to promote healing and relaxation was common place in many ancient cultures.
Sound healing influences your brainwaves and nervous system, much like breathwork and meditation. It can put you in to a trance like state where your brain signals to your body that you are safe and able to deeply relax. While in this state, many wonderful benefits become available to us.
Mentally sound healing can have a positive effect on depression, anxiety and reducing stress.
Emotionally it can help to improve your mood and lessen mood swings. When you’re able to come out of the fight or flight response or ‘survival mode’, it gives your brain the opportunity to organise thoughts. This can leave you with an improved sense of clarity. It can help to clear emotional blockages and release suppressed emotions that are keeping you feeling stuck.
Physically it has been known to help with pain relief, improve sleep and reduce general fatigue. All contributing to overall improved health and wellbeing.
- Who should avoid sound healing?
Sound baths offer a non invasive approach to improved health and wellbeing and is considered low risk. However there are some contraindications for this form of holistic therapy and who should avoid it, which can be found here.
- What should I bring with me?
At A Quiet Mind we want to take away as much as we possibly can in terms of preparing for the event. We provide clean mats, blankets and pillows to make you comfortable which is considered enough comfort for most people. However if you have anything that makes you particularly comfortable or you’d like to bring your own things along, please do!
There will be water, tea and chocolate but we would suggest bringing a bottle of water for the journey home.
- What should I wear?
You will be lying down for around an hour so we suggest wearing loose, comfortable clothing you feel able to breathe easily and relax in. If you tend to get hot or cold, we would suggest dressing in layers for you own comfort.
