EVENT DETAILS

Guided Meditation and Sound bath Series

Lie down and soak up a soothing guided meditation and sound bath to relax both body and mind.

You will be guided through a meditation on a different theme each week during this series.

Week 1 : Meditation for deep rest and better sleep

Week 2: Soothing meditation for stress/anxiety

Week 3: Gratitude meditation

Research shows that there are multiple benefits of music on mental and physical health. In a meta-analysis of 400 studies on the neurochemistry of music, Levitin and Mona Lisa Chanda, PhD, found that listening to music increases production of the social bonding hormone oxytocin and the immune system-boosting antibody immunoglobulin A.

Relaxing music may also reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol which may be one of the reasons why listening to music may calm our minds.

Yoga mats will be provided for your comfort so you can lie down for the duration of the meditation. Please bring a blanket to put over you (or two if you would like to lie on a blanket) and a small pillow for under your head.

Benefits:

Take time out for your self-care

Reduce stress and improve mental health

Research suggests relaxing music and sounds may benefit your immune system and cardiovascular system

Increase alpha brain waves associated with calm and relaxation

Lie down and do nothing! Allow the sounds to calm and soothe you.
